Oh no Jakes mum, I bet they are safely tucked away in a little pocket of his suitcase, pencil case or something!! You are lucky to have a lovely dad.
Made some more facebay sales and have another couple coming to pick stuff up on Monday. Will have made £23.Used my part to pay off the card, nearly at the half way point!
It was our wedding anniversary yesterday :smileyhea (16 years married and 21 together) and we underspent our budget so I used that for the card too....next year I'll be able to pot that instead of having to feed the card!!
Potted £1.20, I'm trying not to neglect my pot!Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!:starmod: Emergency Fund Savings - #148 - £10/£1000 1% :starmod::xmastree:#083 SPC6 £63 - SPC7 £90 - SPC8 £63 - SPC9 £54 - SPC10 £26 - SPC12 £70 :xmastree:0 -
So true ladies, my dad is fantabulous
he said 'thats what dads are for' bless him, wher would I be without him and my mum? . . a darned sight poorer thats for sure!
Happy wedding anniversary for yesterday Mossy! You are doing well with your facebaying :j :j there will soon be nothing left in your house! Just do what I do, tell people you like the minimalist look
Am really REALLY tempted to be very naughty and take youngest out to dinner tonight . . she's really missing big brother and she was supposed to go stay at her Grans but unfortunately Gran damaged her knee on tuesday so she couldn't go, we had another bit of a cry last night and a bit of muffled sniffing while she was curled up in DS's bed going to sleep, so am tempted to throw caution to the wind, get out the credit card and have a cheeky meal to make her feel like she's not missing out on everything.
I do have some change to go in the pot but if I decide to go out i'll need a bit of change for a tip so will hold off potting till after dinnerSPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000 -
I'm Potting £2.47 this Afternoon...YAY!!
Jakes-Mum....A Meal out could be expensive....I was just thinking with this Weather you could maybe take her somewhere like a Forest or a Lake or something with a Picnic...just you and her....make it a real Girl's day out....and that will probably end up cheaper than a Meal out AND you get an afternoon out in the glorious Weather....Just an idea...feel free to ignore
Hmmmm Lulu....they should NOT be ignoring you if you're saying that the Codeine is making you ill....Not sure what to suggest but I hope that you feel LOTS better soon...0 -

Thanks for the good wishes for our anniversary.
Pay day shopping today, the fridge (which I cleaned out first, so much easier to do when there is not much in it) is looking much fuller as are the cupboards! Now to keep control of the pennies as I always seem to overspend during the first two weeks and end up with nothing left for the rest of the month!! :eek:
Potted £2.19 today which included a lovely £2 coin!Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!:starmod: Emergency Fund Savings - #148 - £10/£1000 1% :starmod::xmastree:#083 SPC6 £63 - SPC7 £90 - SPC8 £63 - SPC9 £54 - SPC10 £26 - SPC12 £70 :xmastree:0 -

Ahh ty for the ideas hun, unfortunately DH and I are both disabled and due to my memory and illness im not allowed to drive further than our town centre, plus me and the sun, we are not friends, I find it very hard to function in the heat
We did go out to the beefeater and as I had points on my card I printed off a £10 voucher so meal for 3 of us cost £17 :T we then stopped at Mr T and got 3 puddings for £3.75 so not too pricey :j
