You're right Ali. I need Vit D in large quantities and Vodka, I need vodka:D.
My neighbour came in tonight and my downpipe seems to be blocked. Probably a nest has fallen into it but so annoying as their wall is soaked so they aren't pleased and I just couldn't be bothered. As I've mentioned before my face gives away every emotion and if face doesn't let me down then my tone of voice does. I don't even care :rotfl: I'm nearly 49. If I haven't learned to control this by now then it is highly unlikely to happen. If folks don't like it they can just mosey on past. Joking of course ...........well a wee bit.
Boarding passes printed and seats allocated but we are all over the place as flight is obviously very busy as it is bank holiday Monday. I am stressing already as my seat is in between 2 strangers and I just feel sick at how squashed I will be. 2 of my friends are behind me so I will try nad swap and put my very skinny pal beside me

INOD i dunno? Girl did comment that we could have made a wig from it mind you
Ali we are emotional and it's in our DNA so we cannot help it
Well I have spent £10 today on nothing! I can't even remember what I bought. Pile of junk but everything was 'essential'
It's Friday :j. Nice wee weekend ahead of us. Working tomorrow morning and will use that money for whatever shopping we need for the coming week.I won't need petrol as I have 3/4 of a tank. I only have £12 left to do me :rotfl: Not quite as bad as it sounds as I will have child benefit of £20 per week and £32.50 cleaning money which I will do my best to make it last. I'll just need to be my frugalest as if I don't manage then I will be eating into my holiday spending money and that is just not allowed !!
I'm going to have a wee look see and check out who is best for euros and get them sorted as I only have 2 weeks before I go.

Just spent £5.96 on bunting for my section in work. We drew England for the team we have to support. We have a guy from Blackburn on our section and we have told him he is to sit in the middle of the bank of desks for the 4 weeks the commonwealth games are on :rotfl: He just said 'aye, job's a goodun '5 Year plan.

Spendy day today :eek:
£175 for clothes :eek: But I have bought 2 dresses in that for 2 first communions I am attending. I have one tomorrow and one next week. Both dresses will be fab for holidays as well. Got 2 prs cut offs, 2 shorts, swim suit, knickers, bras and a short sleeved cardigan. I have 3 £5 off vouchers so I will go down again during the week and get pyjamas as I forgot those and also need flip flops and I reckon I am set to go. We don't need any toiletries or anything with us as it's a friend's flat so we will just replace what we use and we don't need towels or anything as the cleaning service will provide them for us.
Spent £15.40 on lunch as had promised DS a wee lunch then to go and see Noah as I have a 2 for 1 voucher for that. Unfortunately the times must have changed today as when we got there it is only on tonightwe had already bought all our goodies as well £7 . Never mind I'm sure they will still be eaten. Spent £10 on a haircut for DS. I think that's everything. I put the clothes on to the CC as I can pay it off at end of month. The money I have I need.
Just remembered I spent £27 in butchers BUT I am getting at least 40 portions of food from it so only £0.67 per portion for top notch meat. Excellent value I say. I have 4lbs of stewing steak and 18 sausages in my big slow cooker. Loads of onions and carrots for flavour. I have 3lbs mince in small slow cooker making spag bol which I will use for spag bol or lasagne. I also got 8 1/4lb burgers. Steak and mince were on buy 1lb get 1lb free so it was a bargain that couldn't be sneezed at.
As you all know I have been struggling massively with my weight recently so I have come to a decision. I am addicted to sweet things so I am going to just stop eating them altogether. I am sure I can do this if I really put my mind to it. I stopped smoking and I was a heavy smoker and I also stopped drinking fizzy pop ( which tastes disgusting to me now) so I reckon I can just cut out chocolate etc from my diet altogether. That's the theory anyway. So I am going to start this on Monday and see how it goes. It'll be a killer but I NEED to break the habit before I can deal with the issue so only way to do that is to stop eating them altogether. I can maybe then , a few months down the line, reintroduce them to my life but in moderation. Anyone want to join me?? :rotfl:
So am away to do my housework and continue my cooking fest sp that tonight I can sit on my jacksie and chill out xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Forgot to say that DD has decided that the outside of our house needs painted so she is going to do it this summer. I am delighted but paint will cost a fair bit of money. Think it will be a couple of hundred pounds. At least I won't need to pay for it getting done. DS and I will help with the lower part and DD can do the higher up bits. She has all the equipment we will need so we won't need to buy anything other than the paint. Our next door neighbour has also said he wants his done so DD can at least make some money from doing his house. It will make a huge difference to how the house looks. I am getting DS to strip lounge next week so it can be down whilst I am away and then I can forget about everywhere as it has all been painted within last 18mnths so it will be fine for a couple of years anyway. I've told DS that he can get into the garden this week if it stays dry and get some weeding done and tidy round the borders. He surprisingly said yes with no tantrum !! Wahey!! I wonder if this is maturity kicking in at last5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

I'm in on the sweet treat ban
. The jeans tell me so :rotfl:
Excellent spend in the butchers on all that meat. I really must check our local one out.
Ooh how lovely will your house look with the outside repainted and the lounge newly done. Fantastic. Such a saving on cost with DD doing it too. :T
You've got more chance with England doing well in the Commonwealth Games than for the World Cup, that's for sure!

15 portions of stew cooked and 13 portions of spag bol. 3 portions eaten of spag bol tonight and 3 of stew will be made into individual steak pies for tomorrow. I'm going to make my own shortcrust pastry for them in a wee while. Tastes delicious. The meat is absolutely fab. I'm defo going to get more mince during the week5 Year plan.

Ali I will and I want him to strip the lounge as well. He will just end up up to mischief if don't keep him busy but we had hail here today :eek: Really hoping it dries up soon.
I went on to look at the weather there and got all excited as said 33 degrees tomorrow. I asked on facebook if that was right but turns out I was looking at Egypt :rotfl:. I am getting an absolute pounding :rotfl:. However it is 27 degrees in Murcia so I am happy with that.
It is so so wet here though it is getting really annoying. It's like a bloody monsoon tonight. My gutters were overflowing but got them cleared out yesterday so hopefully okay now
House smells so good that I just want to eat everything in sight :eek:5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60
