We cannot really afford better this month and keep me smiling.

It has occurred to me DH made a complaint about some service and was offered a free meal in the restaurant...so might see if they have a table for Friday....

I love meeting him out, it makes it feel more date like.

Could you wait another week when it will be next month?

So, we had a really boring 'business' supper on Friday which has been cancelled this afternoon. Its a really tight month but I'm still tempted to book somewhere and go out. I should save the money........

Michaels would have a card for a free meal for this sort of situation wouldn't he?

Wetherspoons probably have a "2 for £6" Fish & Chip Dinner offer

Much foraging is now "bad" and frowned upon.

People have been going wholesale into public spaces/woods etc and stripping them bare of anything that grows.... then carting bin bags of things off to a van or workshop before sorting out what's good and what's bad - then binning the stuff they don't want and flogging the "good" stuff off to chefs.

Epping Forest already have a blanket ban on picking anything. New Forest are having problems too.

TV Chefs and the middle classes are being blamed for this.

I already have a stack of bills piled up for next month too! :rotfl:

I hate this home ownership racket, there is so much less flexibility!

Don't mention birthdays, New nieces birthday gift is wrapped and in the study. I've now missed her birthday and bil is not talking to us (again). I just kept forgetting to post it.

We never used to get gifts from aunts/uncles for birthdays.

Even for Xmas it was a bit dodgy. I remember getting a cheap handkerchief set from the market one year - and another year a cheap/plastic doll (sindy sized) from the market and it didn't even have any clothes (nor a box). Just a 50p doll - and we didn't have dolls, so had no clothes for them. Another typical gift from an aunt/uncle might be a pair of American Tan tights off the market .... so the budget seems to have been about 50p each year.

Having said that, I don't recall any gift from the other aunt/uncles ever.
