I Can Sense

[gness]

The late MrG tearing his hair out again.

I have had the electrical fault repaired without having to buy a new washing machine......£400 saved?

I have blitzed the garage and been ruthless so I don't have to buy the shed I was planning to put what is really rubbish in.....£500 saved?

So with the £900 savings I now have I am going to have a holiday. I can't see a problem with this way of thinking but my late husband tried for thirty years to explain that I hadn't actually got the money I have saved.

Honestly! Men! It took him ages to accept that a £20 birthday gift I received could be spent seven times.....☺☺☺

gness, go splash your hard won savings on a fabulous holiday. Where are you planning on going?
Men just don't understand our fiscal dexterity.

[gness]

They don't do they, Daisy....they can be so dim at times...

Don't know where to go yet....a bit of sunshine and lots of birds I think..☺

[pixie373]

You are absolutely right, gness. That's exactly how i would look at it. Enjoy your free holiday :-)xx

That sounds lovely,but down here today we had beautiful sunshine all day (I dried washing outside) and plenty of birds. (Including I must admit the last of the turkey made into a pie.)

I went into town today and bought four books from Waterstones. When I got back I told Mr T that I had bought them with my Christmas money. (I didn't have any Christmas money) He just said, 'Oh, good'!

[DaisyNonna]

Gorgeous here today, if only the days were longer. I hate the dark.

[DaisyNonna]

Way to go Tilly!

[Hopkirk]

[DaisyNonna]

[Psybbo]

[giveup]

I'm with Psybbo,we're waiting in the wings!!!

[gness]

C'mon, Hoppy....if we were running the country how much better it would be......☺

[carrust]

The lunatics would definatley be running the asylum...

[pixie373]

But a better class of lunatics:-)

[woofgang]

of course you have got it.
Has the washing machine shop got it? No!
Has the shed supply firm got it? No!

Therefore you must have it :)

actually you gave me a smile. It was a running joke between my late beloved DH and me. Whenever we saved money by shopping around, DIY and so on, one of us would always say to the other "So what shall we spend it on?"

[DaisyNonna]

I really fancy jumpstarting some country's economy by holidaying there.
My New Year's Resolution?

[gness]

As Pixie says, Rusty...the sane lunatics haven't done us any favours have they so imagine if the ladies of AB were running the country...☺☺

Exactly, Woof....don't know where it is but it's mine and I shall enjoy it!

[DTCwordfan]

No wonder Ireland went down the tubes economically.........gness for Minister of Finance!

[gness]

Mine is much simpler than yours, Daisy...I just want to not fall over...:-(

[Psybbo]

DTC, it's on the way up!
