    Oooops!! the F word has been used :rotfl:

    Sorry :o (hangs head in shame). I shall make amends by attempting no spends till Friday (beavers money due then). The only thing I may need is electric, the meter is getting low but shall keep an eye on it and make sure all laundry is done using E7 and nothing left on standby. Loving this thread its making me think of ways to save already :D

    And fancy dress is compulsory - come dressed as your favourite apple. Any suggestions from gang members for food, party games, music etc will be most welcome (anything has got to be better than Igor's record collection.)

    He hasn't found that copy of "The Bee Gees sing covers of famous heavy metal tracks" has he? or "The Worzels sing ABBA"?
    Must use my stash up!
