Saved £15 lift sharing with DH. Tomorrow I am on a course in the morning but have managed to cadge lifts from DH and a friend from a previous school and so will save another £15. Yay! NSD. Sold three ebay items but not for a lot. I guess it is all decluttering.
Colleague just got an email from someone letting her know her husband was cheating on her. Charming.
I mentioned previously that there is a !!!!!! version of GOT called GAME OF BONES. Having seen most of series 3 of GOT I have arrived at the conclusion that the !!!!!! version is the one where they keep their clothes ON. Goodness its rude.

Why do people feel that email is an appropriate medium by which to deliver bad news? What a sad little story,
Well done on the nsd.Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -
Thanks. If it were me I wouldnt respond at all. It seems a bit sick to me.0

Sorry you've had the grots Alchemilla, does that mean all of you've had to now, it's not likely to come back? 4lbs, that's quite a diet!
Yikes to email, I think my dilemma wouldn't be whether to respond, it would be whether to mention it to OH? Is it really possible to just ignore that kind of thing, do you think? Really feel for your colleague.
Hope you have an easier week than lastStash busting 2014 45 / 60 (balls of yarn)!

Thank you.
We have all had it now I guess we are immune to that variant now.
She spoke to husband prior to telling me and he denied it then said they had kissed which doesnt look great.
People dont seem to realise that flat out denial followed by a partial admission is a rubbish strategy.0 -
Uck. Feel for colleague. Horrid email to receive, and then stupid response from her OH. What a uckky place for her to be in.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -

Who is showing the new series???
Lovely day. Very productive. Was naughty and spent three pounds on coffee and a trashy mag since I had time to kill between lifts. I did save the petrol money though so all good.
No other immediate news.0 -
It starts on s* y next month i think
As long as you enjoyed the coffee and the magazine then its all goodi have 3 magazines to read at the mo. and can't see me getting round to that until june :eek: Which is probably when i'll start the wine making :eek: We are both just so busy and so tired that when we get time to relax that is what we do - pretty much we are getting 1 day together at the mo. due to 2 jobs (Mr) and shifts and my ou takes alot of time too so we're shattered when we stop - i know excuses :rotfl:
I am confident it will work for us though as when i incorporate something into my weekly tasks i am good at keeping on top of things and i do appreciate all the help you gave before i ordered the kitCC1:T £[STRIKE]2531[/STRIKE] £1460MORTGAGE OVERPAYMENTS: £10575.20 Target £12,100MF Date: [STRIKE]August 2042[/STRIKE] May 2035Declutter 1000 things by Xmas 2015! 53/10000
