Ah yes, time to resurrect the old diary.

Having been pestered a few times and being MSE :money:through and through, i thought it was time to hop on my trusty steed and canter on down here to keep me on the straight and narrow.:p Plus i did miss being on here, the banter, the innuendo and generally the kick up the bahookie when i needed it :D

As you may recall i have a few pesky turnip related problems-and it is mainly these i want to concentrate on :eek:

There is one final joint related debt i want to kick to the kerbside and stuff a massive turnip up its Jacksie:cool: Other than the mortgage-which i also want to kick to the kerbside :D

So where have the last few years gone to?

We have had a few lean years, as youngest boblet was at Uni and needed to be budgeted for. She has now finished:j but cost a fortune :o

I have gained a grandchild who lives in the darkest reaches of t'other end of the country and needs to budgeted for ( after all i am not an absent grandparent) :beer::smileyhea

I have been poorly with Meneires disease-took ages for a diagnosis and to sort itself out so i could function without looking like a wobbly, weebly turnip...:rotfl:

It is more vital than ever that if i want to pay off this debt ( he still has others but past followers will know that i no longer bother about them:cool:) and so be able to afford to comfortably travel and work.

Hope you will all support me as much as you have done in the past. x

So budget, budget and more budgeting.......:D

    Though I'm sure "pot" is a euphemism for something...

    Is this keeping with the general "pot" theme?

    So long as "Tainted Wisdom" is not a song sung by those wearing patent leather caps - then I'm not bothered... ;)
