    Good afternoon

    I started a post to you yesterday and failed to post - oops!

    So I thought I would pop by and say hello as you kindly pop in to my diary. And I find the truth......... I am failing to find and eat my frogs because all of you are eating frogs too. Please could I have a frog myself tomorrow.

    I hope you have had a great Friday and a good weekend planned

    Take care honey
    Pauline

    Thanks.
    Frog well & truely eaten so passed on to you :)

    I have been eating too much so not best pleased with myself.

    I have been looking at my money and am not best pleased :(
    The CC that is supposed to be cleared
    every month is most certainly not going to be cleared within
    the next few month.
    I am mad & yet dissapointed with myself.
    In my defence it has not been spent on rubbish though.

    The question is "why are you eating too much"?

    Sometimes money needs to be spent - it's unavoidable.

    Money never needs to be wasted though - so well done there.
