    Another day another dollar. Am finding work hard though..exhausted all the time :( Anyway almost home now :)

    Think it's been a LSD..school dinner money and that's it. Will check with OH but think we have been nicely frugal today :)

    Done the TTs and updated the spreadsheets :)

    I did a double-take there until I realised that DW = Dish Washer, not Darling Wife :rotfl::rotfl:

    I thought the same thing :o Had to re-read to work it out :o

    So Mrs B, just a week left of being a DFW.......

    Me too - if I wasn't fairly confident that you yourself are the DW in your relationship, I might have been even more bewildered. :D

    Good to see I manage to confuse everyone around me :rotfl:

    Busy week but hey only 1 more full day at work. Heading home now, OH out for eve, but hopefully he has made me some tea first!!;)

    Not sure what we are planning this weekend, but think we need some fun. Work is gruelling so need to offset it a bit.

    Plan to relax with the diaries later so hope to see how everyone is doing :)

    Yes!!! HOK3Y has a small reprieve...I like the way the universe sometimes has a way of letting you know you are right to hang in there :)

    And in other news...walked home to an amazing HM biryani..with HM sauce, naan and organic salad. So delicious:D OH is a gem. Must have been cooking for hours, apparently it's a version of a JO Saving recipe. Very impressed and now beginning to recharge...just as well as I was pooped earlier

    £11 made on cashback points on my CC. It will be paid off in full though. Solar panels less good today but 82p. Usual TTs done.

    Impressed by Mrs T's post about a massage at the beginning of the week, I think I will book one for next week. A small treat for being DF;)

  • Evening Brizzle, get it booked :T

    I must admit it was fab and even better that it was free :j

    Those figures are definitely tumbling :)

    I hope work calms down, it's pretty pants when it's so tiring.

    Thanks guys.

    Actually I thought I would be technically free tomorrow but now I find out it will be Monday:) hey oh..that's OK..it's still within my goal :D

    I will also have some left over which is being put against the mortgage as per the new "Big Brizzle Household Plan" :rotfl:

    Lodger is moving out at the end of May :( I will really miss her. She has been fab. Now we need to think about advertising or else taking in an extra student..need to think which.

    Day off tomorrow. Much needed. Must sleep now :)
