    What a horrible day! it's very windy and pouring yet again as well as being very, very cold. Went to asda for some fruit and veg and it seems much cheaper than tescos...think I may try shopping for a month or two and see if I save anything - or if I end up spending the same but a stone heavier with their bargains! and yes I know lidl and aldi are cheaper still but I don't like them! todays treat was some whoopsied figs - I know how to live eh???

    DS is tidying a cupboard... there are toys in the middle of the room which he no longer wants (broken) and paper everywhere....he's refusing offers of help and I don't think he could leave the cupboard if he wanted to! just hope it's all gone by bedtime...

    he brought me a book through as he was incensed that it's in his cupboard when it's mine...yes that's what's causing the problem!

    I think he's just chucking stuff out today so he might not be too welcome Beanie! Now have lots of books to either ebay or take to charity shop and a full bin with broken stuff.

    not much happening here, budgets seem to be balancing but can't wait for pay day to get the debt down again.
    This weekend's aim will be to make some money!
