The freebie.

It just reminded me of that day. One of those moments you never forget. :rotfl:
Big bloke too, can picture it now.....
I realised after I'd typed :rotfl::rotfl: I'm a bit slow this afternoon
I'm driving myself mad looking for a pair of new boots I know I bought ages ago. I bought them for OH and they were too small and I put them 'somewhere'
I'm going to a muddy place tomorrow and realised they'll probably fit me and might look a bit better than wellies :rotfl::rotfl:
But can I bloomin find them......:mad:0 -

I found a pair of jeans yesterday that I honestly have no recollection of ever buying:eek:
I've heard other people say it's happened to them, but I never thought I'd see the day when I could lose a pair of trousers.......without knowing and find them again not realising I'd ever lost them in the first place. It's a bit disconcerting to say the least:eek:To do is to be. Rousseau

I am going to have to move a huge pile of shoe boxes from my stairs middle landing before we have our bathroom done, there are 3 pairs of boots I haven't even worn yet.
2 pairs were fiver each and one pair are just different shade to another I wear.

Think I did just a little bit too much retail therapy last year. :eek:
This is the first month I have not had to dip into savings to pay off the credit card bill since last April. I have not been :money: at all if I wanted it I bought it. But reigning it in now.

GP has recommended 3 meat free days each week to get my cholestrol level down
I'll post a pic later....filling is mushrooms, peppers, lentils and other healthy stuff:T
I love veggie lasagne, but it will be dinner time by the time I get to yours.
And you northerners don't do dinner do you? :rotfl:0 -

Oh I have done this many times in the past when my spending was out of control
Usually because I used to hide stuff.
My worst instance was going outlet shopping and buying a whole load of clothes for the kids in the next size up to what they were then, thinking that was next years wardrobe sorted
I found them 4 years later when we were moving house. A whole suitcase full of brand new clothes that didn't fit anyone

Us southerners have dinner at tea time and lunch at dinner time.:D
I must be an oddity.
Monday to Saturday it's lunch, Sunday it's dinner.
Teatime is anytime between 5 and 7pm any later and we call it dinner.
And I am almost as south as you can get, unless you live Lands End. :rotfl:0
