I WENT ONE WAY TO WORK TO EARN THE CASH - MY WIFE WENT THE OTHER WAY TOWARDS SELFRIDGES WITH THE CREDIT CARD
"See you soon darling," I bid her, optimistically.
"Oh no, I'll be a good few hours," she shouted as she hurried off into the Christmas shopping hustle and bustle of the West End.
"D'oh !"
Bless her, I'm sure she'll be sensible... "GULP."
So, I went to the gym, deadly quiet. No one in the aerobics room... bliss.
No one in the weights room... unheard of.
No one in the sauna... this was heaven.
One and a half hours of my own private space... How come? I'd been going to this same gym for over fifteen years and I had never known it to be like this...
Shower time...
Agggggghhhhhhhhhh, %$£^&&")*@?~!¬ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO HOT WATER
Absolutely ICE COLD.
There's always a reason.

Hi Chris
I have never spent someone elses money on myself - never had a man give me money or a card and said go and spend and have fun - wonder what it is like?

Hmm. Surely the gym has some kind of obligation to tell you up front there's no hot water? cold water showers sounds like some form of torture to me! Bet it was nice having the gym to yourself though!
SBP- for the first time in my adult life I am financially dependent, and I hate it. I hate that I don't have an income and I hate that I rely on Mr D to pay the bills, petrol, etc etc. Fortunately I was never a big shopper anyway, but now I really look at everything twice to decide if it's actually needed or not. Mr D tries very hard to make it easy, and never questions anything I buy and never moans about the bills. But I can't wait for my work permit to come through so I can contribute again.
Sorry, rant over.

Ello CLP Boy......
A waz walking through Selfridges on me way ter court the otherdee.... don't ask but 100% true!!!!!
Used the adjacent multi storey car park!
And a noticed so many un'appy looking rich looking women in there!!!!!
It goot me thinking what are all us 'umans about.
A mean why in poorer countries such as Ukraine do poorer people look 'appy when they ave less, yet we all wanter ave more, get more, yet so many women when they reach the 'eights of wealth.... they become miserable despite aving it all.... just goot me thinking as a walked through Selfridges!!!!!!!
A mean if I brought a lady from Ukraine and she ended up shopping in Selfridges would it make 'er 'appy????..... (noot that a can afford ter shop there) Complicated us 'umans!!!!!
I did see many pleasant looking 'appy ladies in Selfridges... noot all are miserable but am talkin about those few who look snooty.... posh..... the i'm superior look.... they don't look 'appy ter me!!!!!!!
Just thought i'd mention it all.... a nearly was going to the other dee but now that CLP - WHATTA COINCIDENCE - 'as i've goot to too!!!!!
I was walking through Selfridges and it got me thinking of Inna.... would she be 'appy there.... and maybe there's some kind of song idea there about materialism!!!

Hey Bond, how you doing? Boston was really good, thanks. Great to catch up with my friend, and we survived the scary drive to the outlet mall. It was a bit hair raising driving in the city, but fine on the main roads. All the Christmas lights were up, and with the snow it was all very festive! How's your weather? it's getting very cold here, but only a very light dusting of snow at the weekend.

Snooty isn't a good look is it.
And reminds me of my old granny upon meeting her Hyacinth-like new neighbour over the garden fence as she pegged out the toilet paper.

I've been kind of lurking/skimming today...from work. They have a big audit thing going on and I had to keep out of the way, hence in office on own most of the day.
I couldn't post as I don't have an email account set up at work yet, so there's me looking like a smurf in my blue uniform popping in here.
Just quickly following on from the previous blog, 3 highlights:
1. Getting this job, which is getting more interesting by the day.
2. Seeing George Michael...again!
3. Going to the Docklands in October and meeting genuinely nice and very friendly people.

I must confess - i have a steady income that matches(ish) Mr Eggs, however everynow and again I get wee windfalls (I could tell you the source but then I'd have to kill you!). My opinion is that its mine, for me, given to me - sometimes I put some into the joint acc to liquidise it abit more, however majority goes into my acc. The reason -well I'm a true scot, and Mr Egg is generous to a fault! I feel that if its in my account and therefore in my control then it will get spent on "proper" things and not just squandered on little things.
Needless to say that it never lasts long, but we have some nice things in the house! and this year we MAY get around to having a holiday.......Oh just reminded myself - must change name on passport!

I'm making my spesh spicy cubed potatoes tonight: peel and cube your spuds (about 2" cubes), submerge in boiling water for about 4 minutes (it HAS to be boiling) then drain well.
Meanwhile, heat a baking tray with a tiny bit of corn oil (until oil is smoking) then tip the drained parboiled cubes in the hot oil. Season with whatever takes your fancy (tonight - smoked paprika and chilli flakes) then pop back into the hot oven for about 40 minutes, giving 'em a shake about half way through (and the potato cubes!!!!!)
They will be served with gammon steaks (smoked, and NOT from Ireland), mushrooms, onion rings, peas and a side salad.

For all the Mums on the blog (new and old)
The Night before Christmas for MOMs
'Twas was the night before Christmas, when all thru the abode,
only one creature was stirring, and she was cleaning the commode.
The children were finally sleeping, all snug in their beds,
while visions of Nintendo 64 and Barbie, flipped through their heads.
The dad was snoring in front of the TV,
with a half-constructed bicycle on his knee.
So only the mom heard the reindeer hooves clatter,
which made her sigh, "Now what's the matter?"
With toilet bowl brush still clutched in her hand,
she descended the stairs, and saw the old man.
He was covered with ashes and soot, which fell with a shrug.
"Oh great," muttered the mom, "Now I have to clean the rug."
"Ho-ho-ho!" cried Santa, "I'm glad you're awake."
"Your gift was especially difficult to make."
"Thanks, Santa, but all I want is some time alone."
"Exactly!" he chuckled, "I've made you a clone."
"A clone?" she asked, "What good is that?
Run along, Santa, I've no time for chit-chat."
The mother's twin. Same hair, same eyes,
same double chin. "She'll cook, she'll dust, "
she'll mop every mess. You'll relax, take it easy,
watch The Young & the Restless." "Fantastic!" the mom cheered.
"My dream come true! "I'll shop. I'll read., I'll sleep a whole night
through! "
From the room above, the youngest began to fret.
"Mommy?! I scared... and I 'm wet."
The clone replied, "I'm coming, sweetheart."
"Hey," the mom smiled, "She knows her part."
The clone changed the small one, and hummed a tune,
as she bundled the child, in a blanket cocoon.
"You the best mommy ever. " I really love you."
The clone smiled and sighed, "I love you, too."
The mom frowned and said, "Sorry, Santa, no deal. "
That's my child's love, she's trying to steal."
Smiling wisely Santa said, "To me it is clear, "
Only one loving mother, is needed here."
The mom kissed her child, and tucked her into bed.
"Thank you, Santa, " for clearing my head.
I sometimes forget, it won't be very long,
when they'll be too old, for my cradle-song."
The clock on the mantle began to chime.
Santa whispered to the clone, "It works every time."
With the clone by his side Santa said, "Goodnight.
Merry Christmas, Mom, You'll be all right.
Merry christmas xx

Thanks Dragon.
You see I have made a decision.
I wasn't too sure about this job on the first day. Totally like nothing that I have done before. I felt myself going down my usual route of doubt. 'Have I done the right thing?' 'Am I going to be able to do this?'
And I decided that I am not going to fill my head with any of that doubt. This is a new challenge, could take me down a path, workwise, that I would never normally have considered.
So I work mostly in an office, in a smurf suit. But I get the best of both worlds, office work and the experience of learning about the process of a plant bakery.
I am going to be positive. So there.

There doesn't have to be a reason does there. I'm learning that there doesn't have to be a reason for feeling crap. Just accept that right now things are hard, but as you know, they won't always be so.
I'm hope that we do help you, you have been such a support on here.
Me?...well I'm not letting myself think anything other than day by day. One good day is a good thing, two even better.......day by day.
Lots of love to you.

hi Matt
- that sounds great - would be nice to meet for a pint
- I may not get to the M until 9 or 10, depending on the old locomotive, but you'd be very welcome to drop in - my mate and his girl are dropping by too, should be fun . . . I look forward to chatting sports cars with you . . .
Keep in touch

You know, that's the funny thing isn't it. Our nearest and dearest can do disgusting things and it's mildly amusing but the notion of other people doing them gives you the heeby-jeebies; you know, the old blackhead bounty thing...

And on that subject, tell me if I'm wrong.
Upon my return from Ireland some time back, gaggin' for a cuppa and slightly peckish, Renee announced "there's some corned beef in the fridge."
Just for once, I thought "Ooh yum, a nice corned beef butty." So I located said slab of meaty sh**e and cut a big chunk off. I was curious, though, as to what the peculiar polythene wrapping stuff was that she'd put over it.
So after I'd eaten me butty and was replacing the milk in the fridge I asked, "Mum, what's this stuff you've wrapped the corned beef in?"
"Oh yes," says she, "I found some of Sally's old doggy-doo bags....."
EEEEW euuurgh ah bearrrth...I haven't touched corned beef since.
PS. She hadn't re-cycled them.. I hope...

So, Christoff .... what did you ask Santa for? I suppose you are getting all your Christmases rolled into one with the bonnie wee babe-to-be! Pass our love on to Natasha - I was heavily pregnant at this time of year with Big Wee Lass - loved it cos I had central heating built in!! But it did mean waddling over snow and ice which was rather scary! The January flew in and suddenly, on the 3rd February, there she was!!! Scary stuff!! But look at her now, sitting glued to Wonderpets, gluing baubles onto her Christmas tree!!! Bless!
She emailed (yes, emailed .... it is the new millenium after all!!) Santa the other day and was delighted to hear his voice and get a letter back! She asked for a robot dog, a bouncy castle and a scooter (phew - we have two of those between ourselves and her Noni and Gramps!) - and in the letter Santa patiently explained that, whether it was a pretend or real dog, they needed a lot of looking after, etc, etc!! As for his comments on the scooter - she had to promise to 'wear a helmet and follow the safety instructions' if he was able to bring her one!! Hey-ho-ho-ho - even Santa isn't safe from H&S!!!

REAL TREE all the way for us, don't care about the mess, it's the whole process of going to the forestry commission and selecting a couple of trees...one inside and one outside dontcha know. Then trying to get them in the car (last year we went in 2 cars...one for me and the Boy and one for Mr Jo and the trees....)
Then the fun begins, the over estimation of your living room space allocated for said tree, and the subequent rearrangement of all furniture and chopping off of branches are great fun when linked to a bottle or two of festive plonk.
And the smell...mmmmmm.
Unfortunately this year the Boy is fixated on the one word he can say in context (light) and on grabbing all things sparkly, so while our tree might look very pretty when we put it up...I don't think it will stay that way for very long.

As for decorations, every Christmas since we've been together we've ventured into the West End and raided the likes of Selfridges, Liberty, Harrods and purchased a piece or two (or three or four ...) every year. So, none of our decorations on the tree match per se, but having said that, they're probably worth more pound for pound than the rest of the contents of our humble abode!! I'll take some pix of it when it's all done over the weekend and plonk them on FB.

Afternoon each!
Conscientious lurker over last few days and have had the giggles as usual!
Brave man CLP letting Tash off...but its seems u got away with it! My only experience of spending lots of another persons money was when my ex had just left me for his secretary...he forgot i had a second credit card on his account..oh dear! New bags, shoes, boots and a whole winter wardrobe were purchased..and as horrible as it sounds i didnt feel guilty for one second! (would have loved to have seen his face on receipt of the statment tho!)
Im also lucky to earn bout same as GM and we split everything..just works for us.. but bless him, he has paid for some extras on my new car for me that i wasnt going to have cos of the cost.. bless his little cotton socks! (another of those dam*ed sayings!)
Right..off to look at nominations on the dark side... i have my winners in mind!
Oh..and really should be doing the ironing... any offers to help...??!
Hope everyone feeling perky this pm..
smiles..

it says the single is out of stock - does this mean that even if we buy it the sale won't get counted?

Multi-millionaire worries about wife going shopping and maxing out the credit card?

Blimey I try to catch up and what do I get:
Knickers in trees in Scotland - well beats baubles but it must be chilly on the way home.
A yearning for childrens toys I have never heard of ......... Who was Mr Freeze ....second thoughts I don't want to know?
More yearnings for men in kilts and what they have or haven't below them - that'll be the cold weather!
SBP after men in dresses as well as claiming to have had a bingo the beaver .... !
Nominations galore and finally... Debs has re-invented herself as a smurf.
Too much I need to lie down to understand it all!
