Ah he's gorgeous

DontLetMeLetYouGo · 27/06/2016 16:53

Lila tell me about it. The £2 makes all the difference.

The only other thing he pays is DS swimming lessons. He does not have to pay for holidays or anything. His parents pay it all.

His grandparents wanted to do day trip to lapland. His dad refused to go as said he wouldn't pay for it. Instead I'm going with them and DS (we have good relationship) however I've offered to pay for half of DS to be polite and obviously for myself.

wreck he is gorgeous!!! So fluffy. I just want to snuggle him. Smile

£1.75 today for spicy Thai chicken noodle soup. super spicy!!! I had a sandwich packed for lunch but felt maybe a soup would help as I'm still feeling all snotbags. It helped. The spicy made my snots worse 😷😭. But better out that in right...?!

Walked home too as figured that the fresh air would do me good.

spent today organising my desk. And making a list for the week. Have organised another trip to London. Have sent my junior a gazillion things to do. She is going to hate me tomorrow.

Back on the savings wagon now. Paid £150 off my credit card which took a battering while I was in London last weekend.

Sold a mirror yesterday so £40 in the savings pot.

Current balances are £162 my ac £1820 joint ac. Dh got paid the other day so his money's went in.

Just lost a long post. Gist of it was welcome back Adora and welcome to Wreck's beautiful new cat, he's absolutely beautiful. You are going to be bulk buying lint rollers though Grin
Spent £8 on lunch and drinks today and £18 on a present but that is actually a joint gift so will get half back.
Should be marking end of year exams but am actually going to watch the footie with a beer!

CremeEggThief · 27/06/2016 20:06

55p on a bottle of water for Pilates, to get change.

Thanks for the lovely photo , Wreck.

AdoraBell · 27/06/2016 20:11

£10 cash for DD2's school dinners, they've had inset days so it's only 4 days this week.

Solicitor app messed up, it's next week, oops Blush, and DH bought the GF bread. Supermarket delivery due tomorrow, £94 Shock, need lots this week. Also, DH is here ATM so another mouth the feed makes a difference.

That cat is utterly gorgeous Wreck Grin

Fluffycloudland77 · 27/06/2016 20:39

AdoraBell · 27/06/2016 21:33

Aww lovely dogs, adora

Fluffycloudland77 · 27/06/2016 21:45

They are GORGEOUS. Poor pirate obviously has a need for comfort though.

ipsogenix · 27/06/2016 21:56

Biscuit is beautiful Wreck. Congratulations. :-)

Em That does sound very plausible. Very glad to hear that you have a possible explanation for that. I reckon it's always easier with these things if you at least know why. Hope it goes away soon, and stays away. [cuppa]Cake

Sorry to hear about your lovely dog Babs. It's really hard losing a pet isn't it? Flowers

Ememem84 · 27/06/2016 22:02

wish I had a pet so I could show it off too you guys are very lucky to have them.

Carnage starts in our house tomorrow. Stage 1 of new bathroom. Ripping the old one out. Eeek!

Mess. Dust. Destruction. Hoorah Confused

Will need to pop into boots as an running out of cotton wool pads. Although could buy online...

Em not sure if you're interested in reusable wipes at all but cheeky wipes are brilliant. I had them when ds was using cloth nappies but they're great for hands & faces too. I love them for make up removal.

lilacclery · 27/06/2016 23:30

Have to get photos of our dogs for the thread. Adora love yours
Italian your cat is fab too
I'm actually not a cat person even though it was my idea to get our two kittens a few weeks ago. I'm fond of these two thought Hmm
