I'm scared - I came to check how you were doing and there was mentions of......IRONING. :eek: I expected better...

Great savings though - you nearly redeemed yourself there! :rotfl:

Its a prankster too! It stuck its pretty pink foot out yesterday morning to try and trip me up:p, and I really stubbed my toe. I am sure i have actually broken it in fact.

Yeah, I am trying to think of the downsides to where I work and I cant. I am lucky! And there is no way of saying that without sounding incredibly smug.

JoJoC

Smug, likes her work AND enjoys ironing? Who are you???

Good things :j

• Night out last night was fab and completely free
• Asked my lovely 80 year old Dad to pick me up and drive me 10 miles home so I didnt pay for a taxi
• My Dad has agreed to host the next family party. That takes the pressure off me somewhat
• I got a lovely compliment at work today. I bumped into someone I worked with in my old job who was looking extremely happy and in better health than I have seen him in years. I aked him if he was happier becuase I had left the office (I was joking of course) and he responded with 'Paws, I absolutely love you!' in a sort of spontaneous, genuine, and fatherly kind of way. Ive had a warm glow all day.
• Worked in other Northern office today - expenses profit.
• Payments are all going out, Big Number is going down

Bad Things :exclamati

• A load of electrics have gone off. The fuse box is quite old so we dont really know how to get it back on. i was all for calling a Dad (both our Dads are electrical engineers), but the husband wants to have a go at it himself before we do that. I have 3 working sockets in the kitchen now.
• The cat flap seems to no longer be letting the cats in (its a microchip one). It stopped letting the little one in a while ago, but she hardly wants to go out so not really a problem, but now it wont let the big one in. Tried rebooting etc, so now thinking i should buy a new power adapter. A new catflap is £90 so would prefer not to have to replace.
• Analysing our spends, we need to do something about our entertainment budget. We are averaging a spend of £160 per month (between us). We are quite sociable, and we like seeing our friends, but I would like to get this down to £100. However I dont want to say no to going to the pub etc, as I dont want the husband to lose heart. He's gone to the pub to watch the football with a friend tonight, which is incredibly rare, we nearly always go out together, and I was gritting my teeth as he left. I think I have to suck this up becuase i get taken out for free by work a lot and he doesnt.
• My new ironing board has assaulted me.

Stuck to 100 calories on sweet treats today. Did have bacon sandwich this morning though
Spends - husband probably £15 at the pub
