  • they were too big Beanie. Thing is when I buy cheap shoes, I am a size 5.5


    BUT as these were expensive and so I am probably a 5.


    I did think about getting another lot sent, but I my as well wait to shop in the holidays. no hassle sending them back etc.


    Walked the dogs. Lovely day. But oddly came home ate bacon sandwich, a few ginger biscuits and now have a splitting headache.


    I am also still (!) wheezing from the cough. unless I am allergic to ginger!


    I have to clean out the fish. and the hamster.


    and mark things. lots of things.

  • Still ill. but ok as now on holiday so can do that thing called sleep that I am so fond of.


    Paid off my spends CC (though just bought Mum's b'day present on it which reminds me I have to pay my sister for the present she got me for Mum.)


    Pants. I was sort of in the pink but will have to go work out again.


    So am fairly skint with a budget of 70 a week to feed me dogs and gps and get petrol. Still if things get out of hand I can borrow out of savings. so actually not that skint at all. Pretty much decided to try and sell everything I can and then buy the stuff I need on my CC, paying it off before interest etc.


    Mum is off on Tuesday so am enjoying a quiet weekend with her. Went out last night but only for a bit.


    I am feeling a bit sorry for myself to be honest. May just put on the pjs and blanket. am wearing the world's most uncomfortable bra!!

    If the bra doesn't bring you joy........Do you have one of those bra bank things anywhere near you, the money goes to cancer charities (we have one at B + Q of all places).

    I've just started buying those non wired full cup t shirt bras from M&S. £14 for a pack of 2 (rather than the uncomfortable push up ones) they are really comfortable. Must be a sign I'm getting old!

    Enjoy your time off work Buffy, put your feet up :)

    Hi Buffy,

    Hope you are currently snoozing, minus a bra under a comfy blanket :D.

    Keep smiling hun,, Your plans all sound amazing, what sort of fish do you have/want in your tank?. I used to have Marine fish and still really miss my beautiful tank. I had to get rid of it as my tank gadgets made the electricity bill go up £100 pm :eek:.

    Maybe in a few years when the debt is gone and we have achieved some of the millions of other things on my massive "We need" list, then maybe I can justify getting another one.

    Enjoy ur weekend xxx
