    Should these two be co-existing in the same sentence?

    it's all relative - if you aren't going faster or further it's lazy!:p

    I am slowly finding the humour in it all now thankfully :) ... I think when I feel more confident about it I may even use it to my advantage:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I am delighted to report that I have whizzed through my list of jobs for this weekend and only have college stuff left to do:j:j

    DS has tidied his room and informed me he is now £2 richer as he found so many 20p pieces around the floor - looks much better so hope he keeps it that way:o.

    It's quite nice here at the moment, hope the artic weather passes us by, I don't do cold well:o

    Trying out the donner kebab recipe later from the takeaway book, hoping DS might help out, I've told him we'll cook something from it each Saturday when he's in - hoping by the time he's old enough to move out he'll know how to look after himself...

    Been looking for something on the internet this evening and ended up on ted talks from a blog post - watched a really interesting one by Adam Baker about getting rid of stuff so I now have a further resolution not to buy anything unless I really need it (as opposed to want and can justify by selling stuff), it was all about using the money for experiences not things so it wasn't all MFW stuff but if I buy less in general it should free money up for that as well as money for experiences... but there was a lot in it about how we all have too much and have full garages etc - guilty as charged but I shall work on this :o Apart from that 30p on on!poll so back up to £2 :D

    Hi skint spice, I saw that too on frugal queens blog. The problem is the rest of the family they will not let anything go, I think it weighs you down and the money is far better spent on doing stuff than buying stuff.
