    Afternoon all,

    Good to be back home again! What a hassle this morning with Ryanair flight! After getting up at 2:30am Spanish time to catch 6:40am flight.

    DFW things I can think of:
    • put away all the sachets of unused shampoo, body wash, suncream etc we took with us
    • didn't buy anything at airport/flight (which is v good for DH)
    • will do a washing shortly but v tired. :o
    • got 2 x £4 Luncheon voucher booklets in the mail
    • got e-mail from Boots customer services offering 300 points as an apology once I e-mail them my card no
    • we should be having something from the freezer for dinner tonight
    Will venture out to the shops later. Will report back later if I do/think of anything else.

    Andan, congratulations on passing your test!

    Welcome LabLover :D (the dog I presume rather than the place of work??)
    Great thread to choose for your first post - you'll be getting up early in order to post here each morning before work then? That's how I started......

    Andan, congratulations, but no :beer: until you get home :D;)

    Today I have
    • couple of loads on at 30 and line dried
    • will make a loaf in the BM
    • Did a MS assignment for lunch
    • will menu plan for the week to ensure no waste, and it will be mostly from the store cupboard....
    • Drinking Tea instead of wine tonight :o

    I cycled to the gym today rather than using the the car, althoughmy blinking chain snapped on the way back so it's going to cost a few quid to fix!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
