Hi there
I have insisted that if hubby is chilly...he put some clothes on...why oh why does he live in shorts n tee shirt and then sit at the PC right by the thermostat and turn it on??...so he put his joggers on and what do ya know...half an hour later they were off again because "im all hot now"... his defence is..well we are in credit....arghhhh - i know we are..and thats the way i want it...we are moving to germany at the end of the month..and since the DD comes out of my account..guess whos got a refund coming..yippeee
I have made my own bread..and had dippy egg n soldiers..hmmm i love that and its so filling.
made my own chicken n sweetcorn soup last night..better than a takeaway any day..and ridiculously easy and cheap.....
i have also refused my hubbies offer to buy me some goodies..pop, choc from the shop when he went for the paper..-6 -8 -3 -1.5 -2.5 -3 -1.5-3.50 -
