    LHB, you'll get used to us.

    Paid another chunk off the debt, £135.68 off cards and £90 off the overdraft. Going to try and get an Asda order sorted for next week.

    DD1 has sent me a text, she has been to X-country and come 21st but beat some of her old schhol chum, all the girls in her year and another girl who was also going for the scholarship exam. Well done DD!

    Got a chap servicing the boiler, hope he doesn't take too long as I need to get the nags done.

    Hi Shaun, how's you?

    Morning V, yes every time I make a payment I update that part of the siggy. It includes overdraft repayments as well.

    Managed to get the horses out and mucked out, had 2 days worth. Off to Wilkinsons shortly to get OH a beer barrel for his home brew.

    Ahh DB, I do have some lemons that are going to need my attention. Are you spying on me?

    Spent £50 in Wilkinsons, barrell. co2 injector and bulbs, a new beer mix, bath salts, moggie food, new mop head and bath salts.

    Then went to Asda and spent £127.72 but I'm only including £118 as part of my grocery spend because I got OH 2 new t shirts for 4 quid each. Very pleased with that and should come in on target. Also got a sack of spuds and some horsey carrots (that quite often get used at home).

    After a late start feeling pleased with what we have got done. Couldn't find Ds2 any trainers so he'll have to put with what he's got.

    DS1 has been beating and come back after an excellent day and he got paid.
