    Another vote for Beanie :T

    MSE would be a less bright place if you weren't part of it :D

    Good Morning :hello:

    Hi, Hope everyone is well?

    Well folks, I have had a smashing weekend, and no, I'm not writing that to be boastful, it's just I need to record - after recent events - when things go well :D

    DP presented me with £20 'back of the wallet' money, to be spent enjoying ourselves, but with the proviso, 'when it's gone, it's gone'. We had a wonderful time and most importantly, this weekend, DP has laughed, giggled and joked - it's been a long time since I've heard that. It's priceless and I am entirely grateful.

    We've kept to the meal planner, and I had a go at making an eggless apple cake.

    Today's projected spends are low; TV guide, milk, bananas. That should be it for the month then :D

    The bank is covering itself in glory (not), it has now come up with another criteria for us to meet. If they had issued proper instructions, it could of been done when identity docs were countersigned the other week. This means more delay, more inconvenience and further costs :( Beginning to wonder whether they are competent ..........

    Thanks for popping in, reading and leaving comments. It is appreciated.

    See y'all later.
