  • Nice and quiet now....:D . Boys in bed; just me, the PC and you....

    Spent around a tenner on shopping today plus £20.00 in petrol. Diet came a cropper today but will get back on soon, I promise...:A . We're off to watch Yeovil v Bristol Rovers tomorrow so won't be a no-spend day but will rein it back a bit methinks.

    Several Bourbon creams, two Flakes, two packets of crisps and a Boost. Safe to say I've had a chocolate rush today although shifting those catalogues earlier would have accounted for 2/3 of the bourbons....:rolleyes:

    "Several" bourbons?

    I take it it is the time of the month:):)

    The boys must look forward as much to coming to you as you do for having them? Does their mum ever give them their football money? Would she ever think that the money you give her should include their subs for football?

    The boys do. Since they moved out into a small village 4/5 miles away, they've started ringing twice a day too so I get to spend an hour a day talking to them on the phone...:D

    I pay the maintenance to the CSA directly as she is completely benefit-dependent at the moment. To be honest, I think it would rock the boat if I asked for money from her. I was working the figures out the other day; they've been training for two years now @ £1.50 a session each so I reckon that's around £312 in training fees. Add to that, they've played 21 matches this season at £2.00 a match each and that's another £84 too. I really honestly don't begrudge paying for them and taking them though as I doubt she'd take them if I didn't, she doesn't like driving around Bristol.

    Webitha - thanks for your comments. I'm steering well clear of Bourbons today...:A
