    Morning diary.
    Need to make a hundred cakes today for a bake sale.
    When I say need, I mean DD has volunteered me but I've been told to make them only if I want to and have time.
    Better get my backside in gear!

    Well done with the cakes dipdap, they look absolutely lush.

    Countdown to bonus day, it's horrid to have it earmarked for certain things but hopefully it will be bigger enough to go over and above those things.

    Hey DB :)
    The car's booked in for service and we're expecting it to cost about £250.
    Looks like there won't be anything left from DH bonus for paying off debts but to look at it the other way at least we haven't got to find money for these things from elsewhere :)
    It's a bit gutting but kids have to get to school and the car needs to be running :)

    Nice surprise in my bank account today, forgot had a payment coming in :D
    I have 2 fridge freezers and a freezer (well I say have, should be had!), one of the fridge freezers (10 years old) gave up the ghost yesterday, so we plugged in the spare freezer (estimated 12 years old) and within a minute that had burnt itself out :mad:
    Hoping the one remaining fridge freezer (15 years old) holds on that little bit longer :(
    Money comes in and always seems to find a way of going back out as quickly as possible :mad:
    On the plus side jumped on the wii fat yesterday and I've lost 3lb :j
