The Weekly Friday Feast

NikNikSenior Contributor22 May 2015, 5:12 pm AEST

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Sometimes I have given and received ... potted up plants ... spend the money on

r oot hormone .. and value add to the gift by paying attention to some plants that can be propagated

or other ideas ... I am not crafty so I stay well away from those type of presents ... too embarrassing.

Do what you do well.. or just av a go anyway.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Omfg.
So I said how I've been struggling with money?? I have been struggling way more than usual the last few months, but I put it down to bad luck with unexpected costs (traffic fine etc).
Turns out, past CBL had the bright idea to schedule recurring payments into and account I have for saving (hopefully for a house one day). This account is one that I cannot transfer money out of easily, I need to do it in a branch.
So. Past CBL set up recurring payments to this account in August, but forgot to tell CBL, who has been manually making payments to the same account regularly too.
Current CBL is laughing right now. I am quite relieved to find that I am not *quite* as bad with money as I thought.

@Former-Member why is one of Primrose's nicknames "pimple bum"?? I'm picturing a cat with pimples on their bum and failing... unless Prim is a hairless cat??

@Crazy_Bug_Lady - That's like finding $50 in your winter coat from last year that you forgot you had, but 10 x better!

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

All the money is in an account that I need to go into a branch to get hold of.
In saying that, I'm gonna try and find a branch that's open tomorrow and get some the money.
I figure after yesterday's appointment, all my hard work today, and I have a PDoc appointment on Tuesday, I am really gonna need a treat as a "pick-me-up" my treat is usually chinese takeout and soft drink. Seems silly, but it is heaven for me.

Finances is a nightmare and even worse when your mil is only complaining to you or your poor partner.
Do you like my new mil ( mother in law )

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

LOL!!!! @Crazy_Bug_Lady My partner came up with that one, because she is so small! He comes up with most of the nicknames! I came up with the Slinky Silky Supermodel, Catwalk Model & Thor. Katniss is very silky & walks skinky like & just looks perfect! Primrose recently got the name Catwalk model as she seems to be growing much more slowly than the others - she is the first to walk away from the cat bowl when I feed them wet food. Cacao got Thor - I don't know - he is such a boy & already getting muscly even though he is the youngest. Usually we actually just call Cacao "Boy" haha. He meows a lot!
