    7 years today since DH’s accident :eek:. Can’t believe it’s been so long.

    In other news, DH’s photo is going to be in a magazine for a ‘hunks in trunks’ feature :D. £25! He can buy his own birthday present :rotfl:.

    Hunks in trunks :rotfl: Mr SA would never qualify for that - maybe chunks in trunks :rotfl:

    On a more serious note - could you take him for a belated birthday meal when you can afford it.

  • Aw SA, chunks in trunks :rotfl:. Bless Mr SA. Bit like when I got married - whale in a veil :rotfl:.

    Money is even tighter now. DS2 has been a accepted by a casting agency and I had to pay £20 fee. DS1 is going on a school trip - £27 :eek:. DH’s phone bill, which is normally £15 a month has come in at £75 after Florida:eek:.

    DS2 has been off school ill today - sickness and the other :( Hope we don’t all get it. Hoping to do the bootsale on Sunday.

    Hope you've had a good weekend and didn't get the lurgy. Well done to DS2 getting accepted by a casting agency, could be £20 well spent :) :eek: to Mr Lucky's phone bill. Mr SA once had a £200 phone bill after a holiday, to be fair his mum passed away while we were there so couldn't moan.

    Here's to a healthy, happy and low spend week xx

    Yes, as SA says the 20 for DS will be money well spent :)
