Evening All,
SFD today...whoop whoop. Think I'd forgotten what that felt like. Meant to have a manager's lunch tomorrow at work, but I'll be taking my lunch in case it doesn't happen (fingers crossed).
Kat - seriously impressed with your super shopping commitment.:idea:LBM @1/4/13 £15,754 :eek:

Had an SFD yesterday and today will be one too. Need to update my sig which I have neglected. Should have SFDs till Saturday when I need food for DS 2nd B'day party (inexpensive homemade buffet). Because of the roof and the tyres our DPM pot shrunk a bit too.DEBT 02/25: total £6100 Debt free date 12/250

Morning all - shattered here - up half the night with work and the other half of the night with DD sore tooth - praying the antibiotics kick in today so that she has a better night tonight poor wee thing
SFD today - need to cancel my amazon black friday love film deals - we saw the latest bond film last weekend and Taken 2 tonight but spring/summer is (was) here so not paying for it when we should be doing "stuff".
As for summer - I switched off the rayburn yesterday - today it's colder with showers - sorry all I think it may be my fault!!
Right work to do - and keepfit later - after two nights with little sleep that very well might finish me off.....
Love to all

Going to the cinema is one of my favorite solo activities! Although it is nice to have somebody to discuss it with after, or snuggle to during for thouse lucky enough, doesn't really matter who you sit next to in a dark room :rotfl:
I think today will be spendy - have to go and pick up my watch that was having the battery replaced, so will need to pay for it.

We are on the weekly newsletter!!! Check the front page people!!!
That's made my day that has. Made it three months in a row for Nov and missed out on all the others I think... at least we are being recognised for out efforts folks - so massive well done to you ALL!!!
LAGL - no wonder you are shattered!!! Am happy you are chucking away the Amazon movie thing... now is the time to get out and about and make use of all the parks and swings and slides and sand pits .......suppose you should bring the littles as well though...:rotfl:..I was a little surprised by the weather this morning. My usual greeting from the excited Shih Tzu included wet paws and wet fluffy tummy this morning. Just what my fresh clean pj's needed...but it's so cute. I did think to blame you though....:rotfl:
KarmaChi - I know what you mean about the watch - think mine gave up the ghost in the last few weeks. Been considering a new one but since the one I want is £199 I might just get a new battery..:)...and Oblivion was okay but I caught myself yawning somewhere in the middle. Predictable. As usual. My motto..."Why wait until someone else does something before you do" .. which I think is a little more sad than going on your own.
Thrifty I will join you on that SFD run you have planned although I really want some fresh corriander... I shall wait.. like a good girl... You have the pot for a reason.. it means it didn't go on a CC... :T
StationarySpender - well done on your SFD and packed lunch. Nothing worse than not bringing it and then not being fed... that would wine me up something chronic.. doesn't EVERYONE know about my NEED for SFD's..:rotfl:
Mrs Toast.. I have no real life. It's why I trawl supermarkets for cheap food and can walk around like a loon with umpteen bags... although I am thinking 2000 on a weekday is way to late to get reduced bread... I need to rethink my attack and plan for 1900 to Morrisons.. (I also need a life)..Weetabix must be the tamest cravings I have heard about yet.. no pickles and ice cream yet then..?
Right then... my lovely little LandLady is retiring in precisely two days. After 42 years in the same organisation as me. She will get a lump sum pay-out I think and is planning on replacing her car for a more economical one, brand new.. for £17000...:eek:... She has already mentioned it will be good having me around as I checked on her APR%.:rotfl:. and got a discount of 7% on the price of the car through our work scheme that I work with also:rotfl:and am very budget orientated...However I still really want to talk her out of a £17000 car which will depreciate SO fast... Hmmmm how to suggest a second hand... although I am not sure she will get the work discount but the over-all price will be significantly less....
I smell a researching sessions coming on....

Ok Kat - I accept the blame for the wet dog but if it jumped up its down to bad training
The lovefilm was £17 for 6 months in the black friday deal thingy - we have had a significant monies worth out of it - actually the payment for the next month isnt due until the 22nd so I think we can squeeze one more film through the system if we are quick!! Right lunch for DS - beans on toast sir - coming right up!! xx
PS...HMMM Researching elderflower champagne made in a "spare" pressure barrel I found in my shed.... http://www.benedictinenuns.org.uk/blog/colophon_files/5ec20b5cdc137fb3406e6c20f9b957ba-1.php love the line "sharing a vocation with the world"Debt free on the 28/05/130 -
Hello all,
A bit of a spendy day - £10 on 2 t-shirts from Matalano as I realised last night I don't actually have enough tops for a week's holiday without having to wear work tops ( a no-no on holiday!) Decided it was ok as I've only spent £80 this week (normally £100)
Went out for another run (still wouldn't really call it running though) this morning, enjoying it more than I thought. May need to purchase the rest of the app, first 2 weeks are free.0 -
LAGL - elderflower champagne sounds lovely!
Well yesterday i had a planned meal out with friends (very nice) and today i bought some BB cream courtesy of the boots glitch, so no SFDs for me!:rudolf: DF by Xmas 2018: #83 £8,250/£15,000 55% :rudolf:
