Can I interest anyone in calorie free chocolate and non hangover wine?
I'm there.. especially seeing as in October I developed an uber sudden allergy to alcohol. It started as rse wine but I've realised since that it's also lager and I don't drink spirits!
So if it's a bottomless supply, I'll have a bottle if everyone else if up for a long night on the tiles?

Fingers crossed the infusion trials go well, adn that was brave of you for going on the trial too xx
Not brave .... I was given the option of the infusions or surgery .... not really any contest!:eek:So if it's a bottomless supply, I'll have a bottle if everyone else if up for a long night on the tiles?

Now ... mixing money and alcohol might not be a good idea :eek: I've been thinking how I'm going to get the fuel & groceries up and running (planning for any underspends get put away each month - but that's going to take ages).
Groceries
2012 budget is well overspent
- was doing OK until the past couple of months and now on this really restrictive (and expensive!) diet.:( but both freezers are both overflowing so hoping this should last a while!
So .... really hoping Groceries will have underspends that can be put away in Jan & Feb :T
Fuel
Budget is a bit of a guess just now @ £130 / month - new car doesn't get as good MPG as the old one.
Overall this years budget is underspent :T .... mainly as up to this morning, I'd driven 26 miles since 12th October:rotfl:
It's going to be much harder to get this up and running as I would normally use that each month :eek:
As there were no fuel spends on the c/card this month I'd stuck £30 into the new fuel pot (and the other £100 went into the new basic bank account as a bit of an emergency buffer)
The boiler fund was supposed to be £300 by end of the year - but somehow I've ended up with an extra £25 in there (? see I'm not good at this budgeting stuff:o) - so I've decided to move this to the fuel fund too.
So .... £55 in the fuel pot :T
Sorry .... I'm tired ... and I ramble / worry about money when I'm tired (see I am learning!) so ... will probably sign off for the night soon:oGrocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
