:rotfl: - but at the same time
(hope that doesn't look too dodgy. I was struggling to find a non-group hug). I dreamt something one night that I don't want to tell you (due to your phobia) and I jumped up out of my bed wide awake!! Of course it was nonsense, but very real. I do dream in full technicolour and dolby surround sound though :cool:
My mum bought my sister some spider away spray and she said it has been brilliant. I'll find out what it was and let you know. It is probably worth it to keep them at bay.Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000

Will do. Will be catching up with everyone at the weekend so I will let you all know next week. My mum used to work in Lakeland so it will probably be something from there but I'm not 100% sure.
Well the spag bol didn't happen last night. I ended up [STRIKE]running[/STRIKE] (who am I kidding?) popping to Morrie's at 7.30pm to get eggs and minstrels and we had scrambled egg on toast. Spag bol is on the menu for tonight instead. Still, saves me from worrying about what we are going to have tonight
*note to self - DON'T sit down and look at Facebook when you get home when you are supposed to be cooking the tea
*note to everyone else - I can't eat too late as my body doesn't find that acceptable. It wasn't because I was too lazy to cook properly :cool::)
Out for lunch with the friend today. My turn to pay. I have money with me ready. It works out quite well as I need change for bus fares for tomorrow and I will get if from that.
All set for the weekend. I just have to iron the hen party sashes (:o I know, but they are annoying me!) and then we are good to go! Can't believe how fast it has come round. Although she did change her mind about her 2016 wedding with only about 6 months to spare before the new date.
Only tomorrow at work to go and then it's party time!Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000

:rotfl::rotfl: at the minstrels
I don't think there's anything wrong with egg on toast for dinner - eggs are health food really.0 -
Are you still laughing when I tell you that all 153g are gone?? I'm not even a sweet tooth, I prefer savoury! No one would believe that with the amount of chocolate I have eaten in the past month. Must be my body telling me I need sugar...or something...*mumbles*... or maybe I'm just really greedy
Eggs are great!!! I love them. Protein. I'm just disappointed in my lack of self-control when it comes to Facebook.Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000

I could easily eat a whole massive bag as well, and I can't be trusted around Skittles0

Oh thank heavens! I always feel alone until others 'fess up! Thank you
I limited myself to FB time and made the spag bol. I must say, it was one of my better efforts. I had garlic bread in the freezer but forgot about it until we were half way through eating. Probably better we didn't have it for the sake of my colleagues.
I finish at 2pm today. Away home to get changed and pick up LMG, then we are off to meet my sis and the other bridesmaids to get nails and tan done. Three of us are not getting tan, me being one. I resembled the Tango Man the (one and only) time I got a spray tan and it has put me off. I am looking forward to getting my nails done though. Afterwards we are going to one of the other bridesmaids' house for some pizza, a few nibbles and a couple of glasses of fizz.
Tomorrow is the big HEN!! We are going for afternoon tea, some entertainment at the apartments (8 people are having to stay over) and evening meal at a Mexican! LMG and I will be going after that but the others are going on to a karaoke bar and then clubbing later. I'm really, really looking forward to it all.
Oh, if any of you see my sis: ssshhhhhhhhhhhh!!! It is all a surprise, she knows nothing!!
Honestly, I'm so excited I feel like I have drank 10 cups of coffee this morning (I have had one, which I noticed about 10 minutes ago I didn't finish)
I have money and hopefully it will all come within the budget. I can borrow from other pots if necessary but I hope not to.

Thank you Lou.
We had a great time! I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I am sooooo tired today but it was totally worth it. We had butlers in the buff! They were only just out of nappies though (:o I show my age here but seriously, I was old enough to be their mother!) so I sat with my mum and her friend and discussed curtains and knitting patterns, etc.
I spent a bit more than the budget but I will take it from another pot. We had such a great time last night that it showed us just how boring our wee life together is. Sometimes I think I need to just let go a bit and enjoy myself. Her whole life, LMG has heard me complain that we don't have enough money but actually, we are fine, I am just wary of having nothing again.
Anyway, I have to go and make us something to eat as although we have already been out this morning, I am not planning for us to go back out again today. Boring life, yes, but the couch is very comfy today!Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
