    It's Friday

    Well the day has arrived and I am so excited,
    The car I hope will be fixed and life will get back to some sort of normality.
    Emma is not working this weekend, which is always great .
    May book our holiday if all is well with the car.
    And last but not lease, we are all going to live on £ 40 per. Calendar month after reading Michaels shopping bill,
    I am truly blessed,

    I agree Steve, and if everyone followed the 'Michael Diet' the savings could solve the UK debt problem....

    Arthur, recommending it and being able to afford it are two very different things....

    I just calculated my finances,i wonder if i will be able to work till i am 807?



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    If you stopped going to Costa coffee you could knock years of that figure, better still move in with Michael then pay half to the dripping fund and you will be quids in.

    It all depends on how many grains of salt you sprinkle onto it, plus you can't put to many on as the salt shaker has not been filled for 70+ years, it's still half full.

    My original plan was retire at 50,thats gone out of the window my kids in his 4'th year of uni,studying medicine,its a long course,and when i hit 50 i realised theres a lot of things i need to see and do,that all costs cash,flying lessons this year for example,so as i said i am planning to retire at 807 we all have bucket lists and they all cost cash sadly.

    Well my first plan of many was to retire at 60 , should have enough by then ,
    The next 37 plans was to retire at the end of every bloody day.
    But the plan is now to retire when Emma says I can, which is in her eyes 60 ,as that is what we agreed in the first place.
    Being only 58, and yes I know I don't look it ,I still have a year to try to convince her to go early, but every month we are here we save 5 months living over in the Philippines, or put it another way 5.2 years spending £40 a month

    Every morning just slowly go up and down on your toes 50 times but first start with 15 then work up to 50 over a couple of weeks, trust it will do you good
