To Freedom...

thank you - it's a great feeling and makes me feel we could actually acheive this eventually.

Mr P not well today, he has manflu. so we missed our dance class last night which was disappointing - and i had to be all sympathetic and caring to him, which i can't be bothered with after a day of dealing with really sick people. However, it means i can overpay the £10 that was budgeted :j I will leave it till tomorrow night when the kids pay their rent.

My mum's birthday tomorrow - got her a gift set reduced, fancy chocolates (full price) and a gift voucher for her garden - think she will like that along with a handmade card from my stash of cards - she hasn't had a real one for years, but i have 3 shoeboxes full of cards. Freinds of ours became grandparents again yesterday so was able to send out another 2 cards for that :rotfl:

Very pleased i splashed out on 2 new bras last week - without going into too much information, they have made a great improvement - i will not be so tight with cash that i allow droopy boobs again!

recieved rent from DS and paid it straight over with some tidying up of accounts so another £235.84 paid today and going to keep DD rent for our easter as a treat. This is the last month I get 2 lots of rent as DD is away to Mallorca at the end of the month for the summer again.

Sadly we have decided not to switch our holiday over to join her - the company will not tell us where she is going to be based on the island and could move her again before June - so definately not paying £300 a time to follow her about. It's been over a year since our last holiday as a couple, we are resigned to not seeing her this time round but will enjoy the orginal holiday in Tenerife instead. I get loads of holiday time so might go later in the season on my own.

Judging by where you bought them from, you suffer from the same problem as me - in which case, proper support is critical! I must make plans to pay that lovely shop a visit again soon.

Same here . Luckily we have a posh underwear factory shop near me - £20 for bras that retail at over £50 :eek:. Not as good as the old days when I used to get Rigby and Peller bras for £5 :j .

would love a posh underwear factory near me - so envious of that, and yes Mouche, i really do need that particular shop as cheap ones are not available! i have learned that i can live without much food in our fridge, expensive make up, weekend trips to prague and venice, and designer handbags...but buying a decent bra is an essential in life.

Today we have started gambling - both fancied a bet on the grand national, but went through topcasback and got paid £22.03 for depositing a tenner - feeling quite dizzy with the risk...hope we don't win as i might end up addicted :rotfl:

oh no, our horse came 3rd, and we bet each way, so am in profit by £34.03:rotfl: At this rate that mortgage will soon be history.

DD has been moved again - and got a different role too, so she is away next week and i am glad we didn't move our holiday as we would have been nowhere close.

not much more happening - OH slowly getting over his manflu and we have started walking in the evenings now that spring is here. No dance class for next 2 weeks which saves a bit of cash, but will need to arrange a meal out for family to say bye to daughter this weekend.

:rotfl: must admit i like having a "bit up top" ....but sadly the stomach and bum are about the same size - less hourglass and more apple shaped:rotfl: we are never happy with what we've got.

so the aim is to get through the weekend without too much spending as next weekend is gonna be very spendy. Got some seedlings to plant out, some fencing to paint and the house to tidy up. hoping to fit in a swim this morning, will have to get to the shops at some point for an easter egg for my girl to take away with her and i have been promised breakfast in a new cafe in town - yum!
