:mad: See what did I say, if I post before the end something will happen, what happened you are thinking? DP came in and said I'll treat you to a chinese, then when it came to paying asked for some money as he had none, bang goes £20......ok I'm still well under budget but he always does it and it annoys me!
If I even try to post my total before the day after my January budget ends someone please kick me!One day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -
Hi lil_me. Maybe next time you should say. Who is treating who to chinese?
Or 'If you're treating me don't expect me to pay for it'!!
Or even: 'Great idea, I'l have the money upfront
On the other hand.. give him an iou to sign-a contract so that he is acknowledging that he owes you the money!!!!!
Just suggestions.
Hope you enjoyed your chinese. Last night I told my other half we would go to the chip shop for evening meal. There was a long queue and he suggested we walk to the indian takeaway down the road. So I ended up buying a more expensive meal!!!!
