    Hi free, PaP and all, :hello: :hello:

    Well, hopefully, today should be my last NSD of the week - providing the pay hits the account at midnight, as promised. :smiley:

    I have been studying the Chinese takeaway menu, usually on the fridge door, so much that I could gain a degree in chinese food. :rolleyes:

    Am still undecided about what to have for my 'payday treat' - the local 'chinese' does an excellent 116, but sometimes I'm just happy to have a 64, with fried rice. My wife enjoys a 37 (hot) and, of course, we both like the 11 (not vegetarian). :drool: :drool:

    Any suggestions? :confused:

    This is going to sound awfully boring rog2: regarding the payday treat: open up a high interest savings account and shove any 'surplus' each month into the account. boring, but very DFW :)
    BLOODBATH IN THE EVENING THEN? :shocked: OR PERHAPS THE AFTERNOON? OR THE MORNING? OH, FORGET THIS MALARKEY!

    THE KILLERS :cool:

    THE PUNISHER :dance: MATURE CHEDDAR ADDICT:cool:

    Possibly very DFW, free, but I have had NO income, or benefits, for twelve months. There will be no surplus as I'm only part-time (22 hours a week) so the total amount is not likely to be any more than £450.00. The money will be going straight into my wife's account as I don't have an account and will be going directly towards the housekeeping and the payment of the £60,000 mortgage that we had to take out in order to 'buy back' my beneficial interest, in the family home, from the OR.
    Having lived off of my wits for the past year, I don't think a £10 'treat' is going to make a lot of difference.
    Besides - it's been the promise of that 'Chinese' that has kept me going.

    Well, my NSD yesterday turned into me spending £4.14 on three mini bottles of wine.

    Therefore, my NSD today turned into a horrendous £5.75 for a hangover cure this morning.

    £1.75 for a sausage torpedo
    £1.20 for a cappucino
    £0.45 for a carton of orange juice

    £1.75 for a baguette for dinner (at college)
    £0.60 for a can of tango for dinner

    Not too bad I guess, really needed it this morning though!

    Won't spend any more as I have college and bf is too ill to go pub after, so straight home!

    NSD for me again. In fact I got given money. OH goes halves with his mum on the dog's vet bills (he did it when he lived at home, and carried on when he moved out and we got married).

    Last week was doggy booster time, OH works away, so I handed over the doggy dosh on his behalf. I got £3.50 change this week, which I had already told MIL to keep, but she insisted on giving it back.

    I am not paying to park the car and taking a 3 year old out in the rain to put it back in OH's bank, so it's in my pocket. He won't mind:rotfl:
