ha ha , imagine the search party! They wouldnt know whether to search for me, or just keep an eye out for roadkill! :rotfl:
If you lay down on the floor with something shiny attached (or a circle of blooming chewing gum) we'd soon find youOoooh, Ruth, fancy YOU being told off by your Mum for missing out on !sda cash!! :rotfl:Never mind, you did well with your savings and that matters most, though not to your DM!
I do love my mummy. She gives me every penny she finds, which happens to be a lot more than i find!! I will have to treat her to something nice. Think i'll make her a coffee cake as it is her favourite. Does anyone have a good recipe??
I had to buy some breakfast this morning. I was starving and haven't yet gotten around to buying a loaf for toast. £1.11 for a plain turkey roll (and not even proper turkey) :eek: Guess where i'm off tonight!!! i now remember why i stopped purchasing food at work. I'd love to say it tasted good but that would be a terrible lie. Anyway, i have change from that to pot and i bought yet more rice at lunch so have change to pot there also. I'ts a good job i like some different flavours so i don't get bored...... I think i might continue to buy even when they're full price.....

Well I've finally got to payday:j
Felt rich for a few hours but now I've transferred funds to where they need to be, not feeling so rich anymore
On a positive note because I have been to the bank I have paid to my pot the £20 I owed from last week from not having to pay at the dentist and also the whopping £50 to the holiday fund from the voucher we had at the supermarket and the monies we underspent on the budget :T:T
Also added 91p change from bits at the shop :rotfl::rotfl:
So all in all a good day
