Just about to meet friend who lives in Australia for tea so might be a reasonably spendy evening, hopefully not too bad.

Cheery - you never cease to amaze me with your boundless energy levels. I mean, nipping to Australia to have yer tea? Phew! .............

You are such a jet-setter Cheery;)

:rotfl: you daft lot! :rotfl:

Not too bad in the end actually (even with the plane fare!)

£1.60 cup of tea
Ex phd supervisor bought me a cider
£17 on a curry
£1.70 bus home

Going to have to give foldy bike a good talking to - chain fell off and got trapped in folding mechanism TWICE today (when folding up, not when cycling fortunately!) Clearly i've messed things up a little with all my fettling over Christmas... :eek:

Hope you ae not *too* jet lagged this morning after your tea in Australia You ladies do make me laugh!! :rotfl:

Did you manage to sort your bike out? That sounds a bit dangerous if the chain keeps falling off never mind getting trapped in folding mechanism too :eek:

Tell me more about "the Chocolate Shop"....... Was it as nice as it sounds??

Cheery_Daff

Not been yet - that's this afternoon's excitement :j :j

*Think* I've fixed foldy bike now :j :j A bolt was a bit loose and so making things wobble - not affecting it while I was riding it, but was making things not align properly when I folded it, meaning the chain was falling off.

Still, I think it's fixed now and I've just folded it with no problems :j

Had tea with a pal this morning, utterly lovely :j And Jack Fultons had camembert reduced to 75p :money: so I bought 3 and bunged them in the freezer :j Did that with brie last week and it was fine when defrosted so I'm sure this will be too :j

Just scoffing a teacake Stood on a friend's scales this morning and appear to have put on an entire stone since I stopped going to Slimming World in October - need to take myself in hand again! :eek:

:eek:Yikes Cheery!:eek:

Don't worry keeping your eye on it and all that bike riding and you'll rid yourself of those pesky chocolate pounds!

...thought I'd sneak on to report that £250 of the 'claim' money has hit the bank account...

...still a couple of more claims to go to replenish the revolving door that is my expense account!...

...GP also got an extra £50 we were not expecting so that can go to groceries!

so £300 back where it belongs - in our bank accounts instead of someone elses!:D

:j :j Well done you! :j :j :j Best place for it

Nowt to report here. Went out for an egg butty yesterday with the treats budget, and bought a couple of birthday presents from the birthday present fund but all good

Off to visit family today so will need to top up the diesel - there's £40 in the diesel account but I'll just fill the tank and the rest can come from the No Quibble pot as we're off to the Dales next weekend to stay in a friend's cottage :j :j Very jolly :j :j

Have a good one all!
