  • Morning PLMBL,

    So glad you had a great party, totally deserved for you.

    Make sure you use the money to treat yourself to something, try not to swallow it up with the household money :A xx

    So pleased you had such a fab party it is much deserved :) Please make sure you spend the money on YOU xx

    You both know me so well :o. The money may HAVE to be used this week as the party has left us tight, the mortgage is due and it’s DS1’s birthday the day after mine :o. Xx

    Oh Lucky that money is for YOU :( Can you pay yourself back later? I think MTG and I need to come round and sort you out - and help you drink the alcohol :)

  • Yes SA lets get arrange to go round and have a word :rotfl:.

    Oh PLMBL, I understand where you are coming from and I do hope the universe surprises you in some way :D xx

  • I do too Mummy! Desperately!

    So that’s mine and DS1’s birthdays done for another year. I’m now 40 and he’s 14. He’s fulfilling his stroppy teenager role 100%. Not sure if I’m meeting middle age criteria or not :rotfl:.

    DH and I went out for lunch on my birthday. 2 courses for £5.95. It was delicious and I was as happy with the price as I was with the food :p. Then we argued and it ruined the day :mad:. Everyone is winding me up at the moment and I’m back on the ‘wanting to run away and hide’ wagon :(. Completely fed up of bending over backwards to make everyone happy and still not being appreciated. As usual, money is tight and it’s getting me down.

    Didn’t realise this was going to be a miserable post, sorry Xx
