SBO I am still a member. That in itself is progress :rotfl:. Last time I lasted 2 days
A guy from my home town has messaged me. Nice friendly face. Single Dad but kids are older. I'll see what happens. I binned the one who wants to talk dirty. How would you ever trust someone like that? You'd always be wondering what he was up to if he was on the computer. The other one just answers with 1 or 2 words then loads of kisses. I mean seriously :eek: So I reckon he'll get binned as well. I know it's awful but any guy I was to get together with would have to have a bit of intelligence and also be working. I couldn't cope with someone without a brain and I'm too skint to cope with a non working BF .
£5 spent today on bonus ball in work. DD getting me my 3 Sun newspapers whilst she is out so that will be another £1.20 but no other spends.
I lost 4.5lbs tonight at fat club. So operation fifty and fabulous has started. Got a free wee recipe book so will have a look at that later.
I think I have caught my wee Auntie's tummy bug. I'm feeling really seedy and extra loo roll has been used this evening already and stomach is killing me. All good for the weight loss mind you.
Starting to panic a wee bit about all these loo rolls I have ordered as I am not quite sure where I will store them
DD was asked by a family friend to do a homer for him. She has done that the last 2 nights. This has led to her getting asked for 2 jobs to be priced and potential earnings of nearly £2k :eek:. I said to her to get DS to be her labourer so he is all delighted. I am so pleased for her as it means she can get some money put away. I was having a chat with her tonight about money. She says I involve myself too much in her finances but I told her I just wanted to try and ensure that she didn't end up like me with a pile of debt. I told her that she has huge earnings potential and to try and start off as a saver rather than a spender. I told her I didn't mean she wasn't to spend but that she should save and pay in cash. Hopefully she will take notice of what I say.

Well done on the weight loss, that's fantastic :T
Are you still on the soup stuff? I was thinking you'll be through all those loo rolls you've just ordered fairly quickly in that case. :rotfl:
I agree with you on the dating stuff, have to go with your gut feeling of the "type" and if they're not right or don't tick your boxes, move on. Local one sounds interesting though.
Well done to your DD too and giving financial guidance, it'll stick and she'll thank you for it one day. She sounds sensible.Will DS work for her and do as he's told is the question

He'll have to Ali or she'll sack him :rotfl:. She said she'll pay him £7.50 and hour. I said hey I'll do it for that. I was only half joking as well!!

Evening folks. What a gorgeous sunny day here today. It was lovely looking out the window at the sun. Would have been nicer to be out in the garden mind you but hey needs must.
Not much spent today. £2 on anniversary card for my best friends. £2.10 spent on baked potato for lunch. I was hungry and my small bowl of soup just didn't do it for me. First I've spent on lunches for a few days though so I'm happy with that.
Got my loo rolls delivered today. They are quilted, fragranced and have patterns on them :eek: we never have posh loo rolls like thatI'm very easily pleased me. The kitchen rolls are very luxurious as well. I now have enough kitchen roll and loo roll to see us through for months.
Had a lovely online chat with that guy last night. He said he will give me his mobile number to text if I want. I thought about that overnight and left a wee message saying that would be nice. I am such a loose woman :rotfl: He's not a typically good looking guy but there's something attractive about him. Talks about various friends and I always think a guy who has friends is usually a goodun.
I have wavered all over the place from the meal plan this week due to DD working mad hours but haven't spent anything on food other than today's lunch. I still have a ton of food for next week's meal plan and to be honest probably the week after that as well.
A wee promotion coming up in my work next week. Boss sent me down today for the telekit about it even though I made faces as wasn't too fussed. I am however motivated now and I will see what I can come up with. I haven't been actively working on collecting any evidence unfortunately but I will see what I can do. Advert is out on Monday and I'll have a look at what they are looking for. I have 2 full weeks after that to sort myself out and maybe produce my best work :rotfl:. I need to check though if it will be worth my while. I know the rise in the payscales has been pretty poor so if I'm only going to get about £50 per month more to get all the hassle that comes with the job then I am not going to bother my backside. I have no interest in being a corporate YES man if the money doesn't make it worth my while. I'm offski now as I see I have a wee message from that nice man5 Year plan.
