    Didn't get a chance to post earlier:D

    SnowyOwl, I need a smiley that says "behave yourself" :rotfl: Although 'tis a luvverly bum isn't it?:D DH's was like that, many, many years ago:rolleyes: Not sure mine's ever been that toned.

    Had a lovely *Ninny day* with DGSs and also nieces and great niece.

    anniebooklover, I can understand your frustration over Zimbabwe. Black and white will have no chance until * the beast* has gone. Breaks your heart to see the downfall and poverty of such potential.

    DH has to go to DS2 to help him fix his electrics tomorrow:eek: I hate electrics, the unseen danger:rolleyes:

    Must get to bed, got an early start tomorrow.

    Happy belated birthdays to Bargain Rzl and Master Taplady.:bdaycake: :bdaycake:
    You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Well done you!!:T

    I did something similar when i bought my first house - £50 a month went into a cardcash account at the halifax and that was all i had to spend for the month apart from bills and mortgage - covered food, petrol etc. As you an tell from the amount it was a good few years ago now!!!!!!! BUt it worked - that was all i could get at!

    I too am so sorry for your loss - dads are special people - i still miss mine badly 22 years on. hold the memories dear - nobody can take those from you.

    Wow - doesn't it just show you what can be achieved when we put our minds to it. Well done!

    Menu planning is such a winner. It saves you wasting food and ensures you have variety like you say. There are a number of websites I've found useful (of course here for recipes) but also the bbc's site and also this is handy:

    Keep up the good work and every time you wear your new tops, remember your achievements.
