Hey BG, I'm one of those who read your posts but rarely responds. I'm just so pleased that you are doing as well as you are. I also feel a little ashamed that I'm not doing even half the stuff you are doing and I'm only responsible for myself

Having sold a few books Amazon since January, I'm now gearing myself up spend a portion of the Easter weekend listing stuff on Ebay, finally :rolleyes:

Keep up the good work :T:T

I am a lurker but I am here too! You are an inspiration!

Your receipes sound great! but I would be unconcerned if your live in leech likes them I would be making the ones he doesnt like on purpose so he puts his hand in his pocket and makes a contribution and as for him putting things in the trolley and expecting you to pay I would too have left him standing at the til.

When you come to the time to tell him you know about his bit on the side why not take him to asda just before he is paid (so skint) let him fill up the trolley with anything he wants then when he asks you to pay tell him to ask his girlfriend and walk away. Oh and while you are at Asda have a locksmith changing the locks for you.

How do the sticky tiles look in the living room?

Thanks for all your kind words..

This morning I was really fuming cos was gonna make sarnies for work but the meat slices were missing from the fridge :mad: OH was still in the land of nod - and i'd checked everywhere including the bin. I shook him to wake and ask if he'd put them somewhere less obvious - he told me they'd been binned cos they'd gone Off..funny I couldnt find the evidence in the bin....

Luckily I had 'supplies' at work - i did spend 60p on a choccie bar though..

Other than that still not done my weekly menu plan. Shall do tonight..

Also got extra stuff to put onto EBay tonight. I've got no bids but have about 10 watchers on 5 items. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Tomorrow i nip into asda after work to get the jeans :j and hopefully the juicer arrives tomorrow cos i got the card saying the delivery man came but missed me.

1andrea: i know what u mean about making food he doesnt like, i just cant handle all the aggro that comes with it. I know its makes me sound like a wuss - and maybe thats what I am, but i just want / need peace around me at the moment....

and of course, there is a bright side to playing the perfect housewife - it will shock and surprise him all the more when you put your plan to kick him into touch into action
