    Hey you!

    Uggghh! Flour creepy crawlies are horrible!! It wasn't a new pack was it??

    Reading diaries on here is a great way to re-inspire yourself and remember that you are not the first to be in this situation, nor will you be the last.

    Alcohol is probably the way forward!! I've been craving a nice glass of wine for ages and I don't even normally drink! Think this debt busting is driving us all to the bottle!! :)

    Hiya wegle! :wave: I bought it about 5 weeks ago and had emptied it into a container. I did not expect to find 1/2 inch larvae in it. I bl**dy wigged out. Honestly, don't recall the last time I got that upset over something. Was asking myself if I was menopausal!!! Still less than impressed today!

    You are so right about not feeling alone in this by reading and it is wonderful to read about those who climb out of the hellhole successfully. I will be one of them!

    And don't mention wine! :) God help me I have to work tomorrow and cannot be of no use in the office! I might just threaten that if she brings wine, I'll bring out the chocolate big guns - that usually scares her as she has no willpower and loves the stuff......while being in incredibly good athletic shape! She always hated it when I brought chocolate into the office because she couldn't refuse! :D. Now, if only I could afford it.....

    Oh dear lord I would scream.

    I'm not a personal fan of wine but after seeing we've started getting the big boxes of Christmas chocolates in at Asda and the extra special Christmas Puddings, I thought, hey ho, glass of sherry tonight.

    And so I did. Finished the bottle in fact, must get a new one, only £4ish from Aldi though and lasts me weeks :o

    Have a great night tonight :) x

    Hello Tiglath, wegle, and silly! :wave:

    Well, I have had a bloody good night. Why do I have to work tomorrow?! Love my friend so very much and yes they brought a superb bottle of wine and it's all gone! :D My raspberry crumble turned out perfectly and bugless......:eek:......and I am not doing a very good job of coming down off the high so I can get some sleep!

    Worth the additional £85??? Too right. Stressing over it anymore? Absolutely not. Best night we've had in the flat since we moved in last December. AWESOME!!


    And now, back to our regular programming of kicking our debt busting into high gear......:D
