    I am giggling here... I agree. Drink all the gin and definitely an embargo on accompanying ANYONE in ski goggles and army trousers. Particularly whilst in the U.K. If it was Putin country however you might just look normal...

    Happy Sunday :) Weather forecast is better for today thankfully, might be able to go out without getting soaked :)

    Just spent ages doing my finances/budget. Well you wouldn't want me as your accountant as I thought I had 2 weeks left in budget period when in fact there's only 1 week left. Thought things were a bit tight. Thankfully this means I can pay a larger chunk off the cc. I really need to keep a tighter rein than this on things.

    So as it stands today:
    Tesco card £181.61 - should be able to clear this today :)

    Vet bill £470 - I lent myself this money and am meant to be paying myself back in £5 chunks, did it for a bit then forgot what I was doing so it's back on the list as a debt

    Bcard £1880 - must be paid off by end of March

    VSP 2019 £8.86

    MSP - £25 plus some change - this is my secret stash for holiday spends, I'll just count the notes for now, I empty my purse of change every Sunday night, it's quite handy really as I can change notes in there if I need to.

    Goals for December (better late than never):

    Pay £500 off debt - £470 of which must be off the Bcard to be on track to clear it
    VSP savings target £50

    Today I need to take the dog on the park, possibly nip up to Aldi, do meal plan for next week, make soup for work lunches, make some blueberry muffins and have a general tidy up.

    Back later - have a great day folks:)
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    [QUOTE=Sun Addict;75156936
    Mr SA pestered me so much about the army trousers this morning I ended up getting him some from eBay. At the time he was sitting there in a pair of army trousers but they are apparently the wrong shade. Then he requested that I add a pair of skiing goggles to the order. If he thinks I'm going out anywhere with him in this combination he can forget it.

    Must be time to open the gin advent calendar.[/QUOTE]

    I'm sorry! This made me laugh out loud!:rotfl:

    More gin is needed methinks!

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend SA
