April Update
Well hi again.
I thought it about time I wrote a bit to my blog.
I have to say thank gooodness there have been no major disasters in the household lately, except for loss of my lovely big koi fish dyson ( anybody confused we called him dyson cos he went round the pond hoovering all the food up), the other fish I said I would report on and they are all present and correct, the pond is just about starting to clear enough to see their shapes moving. I maybe I shouldnt speak too soon.
I had a lovley evening at the frugal friends meeting in Birmingham, saw my mate Lily, and met Melanie for the first time, Emma t, Pixie, gavin and Donna, Paul, Andy and Bev, John Tegg, and Gwen. Martin, soulgrowth, another Gavin. I think that is everyone. A really nice evening, as it was the last time I went, lovley chats, food which was greatly received Melanie thank you, regardless of Basil and his troups lol. Please ,nobody be nervous of these meetings they are very relaxed, and so nice to meet others in similar situations, and put some faces to names. Birmingham city centre shocked me a little, very busy and I have to say not pleasantly either. It isnt the main going out bit but rather scary whilst waiting for my taxi. I only got approached twice, but I was ok , one chap wanted busfare as he had lost his mates and another I think, slightly worse the wear for standing up, but very polite and no problem I just said I only had my taxi fare. I wouldnt open my bag where I was. I felt quite safe though , as I know the cameras cover all areas around there, and the police are very sharp with trouble. I did jury service and I sat on a case in the city centre, and they showed the chap that was in trouble, all the way around the city for over an hour and didnt lose him once, talk about big brother, but reassuring all the same. Another venue will be needed for next time me thinks. At least one of the other hotels with its own carparking.
I am going to go to the debt debate in London and hubby is coming as well. I havent been to London since I was about 7 I think , when I went with the school, only thing I remember was the planetarium and the smell on the underground stations. It will be a nice day out for us as we are on holiday from the end of that week, well hubby is anyway I am still waiting to hear if I can have my holiday.
Our iva is still running smoothly and we are still saving every little penny we can. Weigh ins on the forum for our little weight loss club is working, except as a few will have read for the giant mixed grill my hubby made for me last night, such a good boy, and the wonderful chinese he is taking me for next saturday for our anniversary, 22 years he has had to put up with me. He will know about the chinese when he reads this after I have finished. ha ha hint hint.
Lots of lovely people joining the forum, Beans on Toast, who I secretely call sausage sandwich, another Ang, loads, quite a few accepted iva’s in recent times as well, so nice to see people get through the stress leading up to their meetings. Hopefully there will be many more the same celebrating in the future.
Lots of pickies of all the furry creatures you all love, and a special mention for Harry, who adopted Skippy and Dave recently, a very lucky boy. Congrats on your discharge too
skippy xx .
I shall stop here I think as there is not much else to report. just good luck to all from me.
