  • So, you have solved the mystery of the money..very similar to my motto..The OH did it! Not always, but you have to blame someone.
    I am also joining a rambling group..so we can plot together.

    Weather bad here as well, but not so bad that Mr.b cant go to the tip.
    Hehehe!

    have to admit the paln for yesterday didnt quite go according to ....it did start raining miz so the verandah was left we did go to asda and spent £45 and some pennies ...which went straight onto the visa (ooppps) i needed fresh fruit and veg and some milk etc etc ...spent the rest of the night just chilling and taking some time to myself i think i needed it ...


    got up today with a text from my boss in job no2 saying that as i work in a soupl kitchen tonight (hubby and i work the first monday of every month as volunteers) that i would have to work the sunday this week to make up for it ...and i have to work the saturday as i owe her hours now last sat was meant to be my last but i did think i might have to work this one as i owed them hours so that isnt too much of a shock but she wants me to work the sunday (7.5 hours) to make up for not working tonight (4.5 hours) was telling hubby he thinks i should tell her where to shove the job ...but have decided to just do 9 hours this week i think i need a break from there to be honest as it is starting to annoy me so working 9 hours instead of the ususal 18 i will feel much happier about
    todays plan ...get hubby's new prescription (£5) buy the last things i need for houmus (approx£1) make houmus never done this before so looking forward to it contact the other rambling club to find out days they meet to see if it's any better for me..go to soup kitchen with hubby then go to night shift (job no1)

    financially i should have £13 left to do us till friday and will have over spent by £45 so far

    It is not obligatory to read other folks diaries..unless of course you are as nosey as me.

    Hope you are feeling better after chilling out, and for what is is worth, i thoroughly agree with your husband. Cheeky woman.

    Take care. Bob x

    i love that song ...the version i like the most (i think) is the one on two and a half men sung by the mother at the paino just so sad it was funny ..hows things bob had any more thoughts about charities etc?

    i'm starting to become obsessed with alcohol ....you know how when your preganant all you see is prams and babies abd pregnant women and when your learning to drive it's all L plates wherever you look ..well since i decided i dont drink anymore all i hear ar horror stories related to drink ..family members friends news etc ...i said to hubby i think i am becoming obsessed either that or i just didnt realise before how much destruction alcohol can cause (i reckon that is the closer to the truth) but it has certainly made me more awake to problem with drinking ...hubby isnt impressed ofcourse as he is a very very heavy drinker he keeps giving me the evil eye when i say oh thats caused by drink etc

    I saw that, although i have missed, a few of the episodes lately (newer ones)

    It is a weird thing about alcohol. I very rarely drink, as i get sozzled very quickly especially during the day. Half a lager and i would crash the car...so on the destruction front i would be right up there. I like to share a bottle at the weekend, but is usually every other weekend, as i am awake enough as it is.

    My mates all love a drink, and so do their hubbies...so guess who drives?
    One of my best friends used to down a bottle of vodka a night, and another fits a whole bottle into the glass, it is hard to tell she has had one as well.
    Both have had problems recently as well, not to sure whether alcohol related but i don't think it helps.
    One has diabetes type 2, and thyroid problems from weight gain.
    The other has the shakes sometimes and is a nervy person anyway, she gets a lot of downs and fuzzy heads.
    Both suffer from depression...so that could be related. I don't know what to say when they ask me my opinion, as they are both so nice and go that extra mile for folk... i always say ask GP or look on web..i am a bit of a coward like that.
    My neighbour is a nurse, who is depressed after, splitting up with partner and both parents dying in a year. The partner she split up with was an alcoholic, and an abusive one. He made her life a misery, but she sort of got the habit from him. Now she has a few drinks at night before sleep, and has put on over 6 stone in three years.

    so i do agree with you, and have lots more egs, its weird how it all creeps into your mind, and you can think of all the negatives alongside the benefits of the odd drink.
