Leafy - I don't have tea bags - but thanks you've reminded me I need to buy some Earl Gray (is that right?) for my mum's visit.

Appy - you lead them onto the lawn, and let go. They even eat plantains, thistles (from the stem up) etc, and add fertiliser. They do sometimes lie down on the job though.

My next bill isn't due for a month... so apart from the rent every week the rest of my wages is mine till then.

I put this down to not having any Kids/Mortgage/Credit Cards/Loans/Student Loans/Phone Contracts/Car payments etc

I tend to go by the "if I don't actually have enough of my money to get it... I don't buy it" rule. It's worked for me so far.
I suppose having a life/family means ^^^that isn't really an option in this day and age

I've had the same £50 in my wallet for more than a week.

I use the card for food shopping but cash for petrol .

Haven't really been anywhere much so both cars still have enough fuel but going out tomorrow to spend

a bit of the 50.

My finances are so complicated I have to budget - rent, debts, livery (and winter hay,bedding) vet bills, utilities, credit cards, student loans, plus multiple work contracts - I have to budget to keep control.
I'm lucky in that I'm managing financially, and have paid back £6k of debt this year so far, so not whinging. I'm just a bit make-do-and mend smile .

She can eat it all back up again. They tend to do that - puppies, I mean, not lady drivers stuck in traffic.

I don't think I've ever known anyone be so open about their financial matters Leafy. I'm very private about all of mine - only my Wife knows about my earnings/investments and so on.

:American TV announcer voice:

"Some details have been altered to protect the innocent"

I ain't that daft smile

But you do have a valid point, I'll keep it to myself from now on... (I get distracted easily and need good friends to point out the obvious sometimes thumbup )

Thinking about it though... how much do I earn, who do I bank with, account/sort/branch/PIN code, do phone or internet bank, what are my out goings, am I paid weekly/monthly/quarterly?
I have given away very little, all "they" have is an amount... and I just went shopping so that's wrong as well now hehe
