Hi Moozie, Pap and everyone,
Bit of a splurge today - had a pasty for lunch for £2.20 and got wine when shopping (without list) and bought olives at market - so completley off track on my off-track week....next week i will get back on track........0 -
Thanks for the welcome everyone! It's good to be back and to see you all, old and new faces.
PAP, I get the impression you did a fab job while I was absent. Feel free to carry on sweetheart. I am sure we can put a bit of team effort in
I ended up spending £37 yesterday which was more than I had hoped but it was an excellent chatty night.
Off to look for today's thread...
Thanks again :beer:Leason learnt :beer:0 -

I think its always hard adjusting isn't it ... a long sleep will do him wonders and hopefully he'll have woken up looking at the world through thrifty eyes!!
