Puppy is something wonderful you can focus on when ill and puppy will help cheer us all up on the thread. Have you thought of a name?

Ive just ordered red shoes from fleabay - bargain price £15 and I need them for work. It's too late now as I have paid, I have wanted this style for ages so I don't regret it. Well not a lot.... lol.

£15 is great price and you need them so well done on the red shoes.

We are still deciding on a name for her

Good Morning ! Some blue sky here but cloudy. I am going to pick up the new-to-me dining table later this morning, hope its as good as it looks. For £15 I thought I would take a chance and I will give it to the charity shop if it is not suitable for us. Its only 10mins from home and will fit in the back of my car, the seller has already removed the legs so should be ok.

Apart from that not much planned for the day. I am hoping to take it easy and rest my back. Maybe get some bedding washed later if it stays dry.

My friend came with me to collect the new table as DS didn't get in from work till 2am. Thankfully the lovely sellers lifted it into my car and it wasn't too heavy when my friend helped me get it out again and into the house.

DS doesn't like it because its a lot smaller than our current one but I think its much better and less opportunity to fill it with junk ! I took my friend to the pub for a drink afterwards as it was so hot and bought us both a diet coke so total cost £3.80. It was nice to sit and chat in the sun. Then I have slept this afternoon and am just going for a walk to get some air and exercise. I think once we have given the table a few days to get accustomed to the size it will be fine. I will put my old table on gumtree and try and get back the £15. Back to work tomorrow, where did the weekend go ??

today has gone by really quickly. Glorious though. Well done on new table. :j

Work not so good today. I keep plodding on all the time they keep paying me

After work I went to the pub for lunch with a friend. She bought me a drink and I had 8oz steak, onion rings. chips, mushrooms peas and half grilled tomato £5.99 with peppercorn sauce £1 lovely meal and great price. Afterwards I came home and had a snooze

We are now both happy with the new table so I have photographed the old one ready to put on gumtree. As DP's are coming Thursday I will take the legs off and put it in the utility room out of the way until they have gone home.

I was looking at room dividers to section the kitchen off from the dining part of my L shaped kitchen diner as part of puppy proofing and instead of spending nearly £100 I had a brainwave and DS brought down the sides of his old cot from the loft. As my DF (king of diy

) has agreed one of these will be fixed in place to go just over halfway across the room with one side sliding across in front of the other to make an exit/entrance way. This should be high enough whilst puppy is small to keep her out of trouble and cost should be minimal if any additional fixings/screws are needed. I knew I was keeping some of this clutter for a reason :money:

Well done on escaping from work. I completely get it!

I think it's great that you can use this gate feature from existing materials in the house. Very MSE:money::T:j:beer:

I wish I knew where you ate for such good prices. All the places I know are really expensive.

It rained today. Almost all of my dd's have gone, I have £100 cash for the rest of the month and will be living on my credit card:eek:
But that is because I have bought furniture and paid for two birthdays which are expensive £80 - I wont be giving out that kind of present any more on my new salary.

Skint_yet_Again · 5 July 2017 at 7:56PM

We have an agreement in our family that presents are limited to £10 for birthdays and £10-£15 for xmas apart from I spend a bit more on DS.

Have been feeling rather unwell the last few days. still working but sleeping a lot when I get home. DP's arrive tomorrow and the house is a tip ! The spare room is tidy and hoovered, just need to make their bed in a minute. Have done some ironing this afternoon but there is stuff everywhere. I did warn them when they decided to come

They are treating us to a takeaway tomorrow so at least I don't have to cook

Get a grip !
