VERY clever, I almost missed it. I think it was a bargain if you got a dinner, pud AND wine for that amount. I hope you truly enjoyed it!

does everyone have a room that they all go in and meet up on and chat on bingo???

I think the place to be on Thursday nights is in the stables room on gala bingo, judging by recent posts I think this is a bit like an online lunatic asylum:rotfl:

Hi guys, v. quick update as am mega busy as ever.
Well it's sort of getting there. Majory angst over vet bills, lecy bills, car repairs, freezer meltdown and so on...haven't dared to look at my bank statements but fear the bitter day of reckoning is not far away.

Hope you are all well and doing better than me. At least we have planted some veg seeds, so can live on radish and courgettes for the next few months.

Will try and post properly when am not drowning in work, housework, vaccinations (everything in this house needs vaccinations.. you name it, it needs jabbing with toxins).

This challenge is monstrously tough for us, and am full of admiration for those that are cruising it.

Am off now as the ironing mountain is taking over our world. On good note. DD spied a toy peaking out of a bin, so we asked owners of rubbish if we could re-home fluffly reject toy puppy. We got the go ahead, and skipdog is now part of our family :j

I feel a freeganing moment...and yes, it feels good :T

Take care everyone. mav xx

hurrah! Welcome to the freegan world :j DD has Samaritan streak, and we have rescued several abandoned toys from the horrors of the dump. She is also prone to pick up bits of string (a spare dog lead incase I loose ours); bits of anything (to build a "ted machine" (don't ask, she's 3) which will make chocolate icecream once constructed ) and the postie's rubber bands "for your papers, mummy" .
Can't think where she gets the recycling gene from

Hey everyone, busy day so only just got on and now have to go to bed! Caught up with everyone though. Just quickly, Mumzy, glad you're sticking around and understand that Nyk just meant you don't need to include the cigs etc in this budget, not that you need to leave. Everyone is important on here and you are still doing fantastically well to be tackling all this rather than just burying your head in the sand like so many. I don't include several things in my budget so you're not alone.
Hope the giant jaffa cake is a success Nyk, sounds yummy! Oh drat, forgotten everything else, sorry, bed is calling but while we're on confessions, we went out for a meal tonight using some MOCs, was actually very nice and not v expensive either as a result, especially as I couldn't bring myself to part with SIX POUNDS for a GLASS of wine :eek::eek::eek: :rotfl:
Catch you all tomorrow, another hectic day but will fit you in don't you worry xx

I have 'Duck', which I think was a squeaky dog toy before losing its squeak when cast adrift on the open sea - got him when beachcombing. I also have 'tiny ted' who was found UP A TREE!! by DS when he was about 8. :rotfl:

Now for a question that I was wondering about... yes, it's another mad one! You know when you go into the supermarkets and they have the trolleys filled with all the reduced items? Has anyone ever taken the entire trolley to the checkout and haggled tpo buy the lot, I wonder? :rotfl:

Mumzy, Thursday night [STRIKE]torture[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]asylum reprieve[/STRIKE] fun takes place in the Stables at the Country Club on Gala. You're welcome to join us as nobody else hangs around for long. I think it may be our lack of bingo lingo that does it.
