hi all, another hot day. i have had to brave tesco due to lack of food i spent £33! got a cooked chicken reduced to £1.40 and lamb shanks as a treat! yum yum. food shopping and petrol has got sooooo expensive.
i phoned about my health insurance and it is not a bonus/cashback scheme i just get a payout if i and in a accident of die. so i cancelled that giving me £8.40 extra a month!! i might save it but i am not sure as the cost of living has gone up i may need all my extra money to live on!!

Hey girlies,

I've been a good girl and went spinning this evening, followed by a dip in the pool - was great!!! Home now, time to crack on with some jobs, change the bed, iron my work shirts, clean my room...., gonna be a FUN evening ahead.

Tell me about it Jen, petrol prices are ridiculous, maybe i'd be better off sticking to public transport then pay silly amount to pass my driving test, then pay silly amounts to run the damn thing.

Gosh im knackered! Got in, sorted the cat litter out (thankfully no cats had peed on my bed :j ) But Dylan had obviously been holding it all day refusing to go in the handful of litter, and had the longest pee i have heard a cat take! :rotfl: Such a good boy that one!

I realised I have had Monty 1 year today! :eek: Its gone sooo quickly!

Good girl Hayley, i dont think i could be arsed to do anything energetic tonight! Let alone a spinning class and cleaning!

Yep I agree with food and petrol prices, absolutely rediculous.

Aww, your cats are so good Amy. You have them well trained

Are you and the cats having a lil party to celebrate? :rotfl: my OH thinks i'm mad but i always throw a birthday party for my cat, i think i have the date right she was born, had her since she was 6 weeks, she's now 7 years old. She even gets a stocking at Christmas full with her fav things wrapped up. I of course unwrap all the gifts, i love presents!

Just changed my bed, now time to crack on with some ironing :cool:

They are pretty good, apart from Dylan decided a lamp was in his way (its been in that spot for 2 years) and its now in the bin! :rolleyes: Ah well!

Yep i know when they were both born. Monty - 8th March (my dad's birthday) and Dylan - 30th March. I saw Monty when he was about 3 days old! And yes this year was their 1st birthday and they got a pressie and a nice dinner!

I think its great, although i do talk to them far too much! :rotfl: Im sure my neighbours think im eitehr very very weird, or i have kids stashed away somewhere!

I got a £2 coin as well yay!! Its wierd my way of thinking now is as soon as I get one its not mine and has to go to live in the sealed pot!! Will open it at end of November to help with debt target.
bought a book off ebay for Xmas pressie , came this morning and had writing inside the front cover ( like a dedication type thing) that wasn't in the description. Emailed seller ( American ) to complain and she refunded purchase price , half the postage and said I could keep the book ! I've also managed to stick extra blank page over writing so u can't tell! What a bargain !

wow well done mm,
i am debating selling our wii me and dd don't really use it we have had it a few months and it just doesn;t get played on!! should fetch about £150 so i would lose £30 on it?!? any advice or opinions?

moneymabel

I would sell it- if u don't play it now its relatively new you won't in a years time and then it won't be worth as much . Look at the £30 loss as rental for the past few months and its not bad!

I totally agree with MM Jen. My lil bro has a wii, it was fun when he got it a couple of Christmas' ago when all the family was playing, but now it lives in a cupboard gathering dust.

I am trying to persuade my lil bro to buy a wii fit, but a 16 yr old doesn't see the point of a wii fit, ah well...!
