Ooh so it has Cherry
The little digital radio in the bedroom is playing up now. It kept reverting to the Asian Network channel so I retuned it in. Now it will only get Radio Derby and nothing else. I wouldn't mind but I don't live in Derby :rotfl:
It's a fairly old radio though I think I've had my money's worth.
Mr SA is currently hassling me to death about that bloomin' wallet and torch key ring. Added to the pester mix is a fishing coat he saw in the Aldi leaflet, he's driving me nuts harping on about it, he doesn't even go fishing

I actually quite like ALDI's outdoor gear as it is well made, good quality, does the job and quite cheap / reasonably priced... however, I do use it as outdoor gear...
He's like a big wean isn't he?
Is it the green jacket or the not very camouflaged at all one that he's pestering for?BUGGRITMILLENIUMHANDANDSHRIMP I TOLD EM! - Foul Ole Ron
It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

A busy weekend indeed.
What is Mr SA like - you really do have the patience of a saint.January spends - £587.580 -
That's Monday done
US - it's the camouflage one. I think I've talked him out of it though, he knows he's got enough coats as it is. Lesson learned - don't bring the Aldi/Lidl leaflets home.
What I'm trying to make him see is that if I get him the coat plus the torch key ring and the wallet, and taking into account the joggers I got him last week, that would mean he's had the majority of the February "other" spends pot just spent on him. Then there's the money spent on beer and the face cream and lypsyls he gets through at a rate of knots :eek: I think keeping a track of spending properly for once is really going to open my eyes.
That aside I went for a run in the gym this lunchtime and tonight is AFD 9/12 - I won't hit the target as I've planned in a VERY large glass of wine for Thursday - payday and no work the next day :jI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -

Your food plan is great SA!
Here's hoping that Mr SA uses the treadmill - as you say it can't be good for him depending on the scooter so much.
As to the camouflage fishing coat - :eek:!
I'm glad you pointed out to him that his pester list is draining the "other" spends pot for this month. Hope he takes it on board accordingly.
