I regularly lose Mr SA in shops, despite the fact he's on a scooter. I don't know how he manages to disappear!
I bought an elf on the shelf but have been really boring and just sat it on a shelf, totally missed the point really
DH needed the toilet and I was queuing in a shop. Gave him strict instructions to go out of the shop and turn right to where the loos were. Of course he went left and got totally lost :eek:.
Hope you’ve had some inspiration for the elf from FBDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

It was a no go with the mortgage
. They said I could make a payment but would have to ring them every time to get the amount taken off the monthly payment rather than applied to the capital and then the direct debit would still have to stand, though could be reduced ‘if I really wanted’. It was made to sound a right faff
.

Do you have a separate bills account to the one you spend from?
Maybe setting up a separate account you can 'pay' weekly the mortgage into?
Sorry if that comes across wrong
Well done on the win

I have a cash isa that currently has the small remains of Christmas savings in. I think perhaps I should use it in future to do just that wannabe. :beer:.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Sitting waiting for DH to have a filling at the dentist so thought I’d make use of their wifi!!
I’m going out tonight with some of the Mums from school. I know I’ll love it when I’m out but I really can’t be bothered with the thought of it. I’ve turned into a real [STRIKE]boring old fart[/STRIKE]home bird. It’s a meal/disco thing with an 80’s theme so should be a laugh. Half of them are getting dressed up in 80s gear but I can’t afford to buy anything like that, so I’ll be one of the boring ones in ‘normal’ clothes.

That's brought back memories of leg warmers, fingerless gloves, big bows and shoulder pads
I'm the same with going out. Can't be bothered but usually have a good time when I do. Enjoy yourself.
