    Pal & I have reached a mutual understanding...........he will take the P*** & I will try not to rise to his bait:p The pennance of my being a legal exec is that I cannot walk away from an argument so please slap me down if I get started!

    I have already printed out next weeks online TV schedules instead of buying a Saturday paper;), that's 70p saved!

    So by not buying a saturday paper for the next 34 weeks I'll have made up for falling off the grocery band wagon last night? I think that might be a bit too long to wait for the next food shop though:o Oh well, it's a very small start:p

    I would just like to announce that Lillibet is my new virtual girlfriend, and so Glad can consider herself dumped, unless she is open minded about these things. I'm not fussy about these things and Glad is pretty hot.

    How much more money would you save by simply reading the online statements instead of spending money on printer paper and cartridges? Or are you printing them out at work, you naughty girl?

    If it does it is a bit dull! There are children about: I know it is difficult given that I am involved, but try and control yourself.

    Oh, I'm sorry moggins I'd have shared it if I'd known alcohol.gif

    I must remind myself that buying bulk cases of wine at discounted prices does not mean I have to drink it all in one go :D

    hi Lillibet
    Would an evening playing board/card games either with your other half or plus friends be a possibility?

    Hi Aril

    Thats a good idea, we used to have Sunday night games night where we'd play chess, Othello, Scrabble, Jenga etc over a bottle of wine in front of the fire instead of spudding out in front of the TV or computer. We haven't done this for ages so I might try & get back in the habit. It was always great fun beacuse he cheats & I make up words.....of course, the wine helped:o
