    Keeping you in thoughts and prayers Sophiesmum.

    Thanks andan for keeping the thread going, it helps to keep me on track.

    Today I took the day off work to sort out masses of stuff for Sunday's carboot sale, just hope the weather improves. I have read the tips on the carboot thread and I'm ready!!

    I also picked blackberries in the pouring rain, peeled what seemed like thousands of apples, also free! All currently simmering on the hob.

    Checked my statements and ebay - have 2 bids! updated spreadsheet and found time to ride and groom my horse!

    • Got 2 bottles of Lenor (with my bottle caps at Asda - one before work and one after work, also for my mum :A )
    • and The sun paper with free Sun voucher
    • Asda bargains was a big bottle of reduced milk 20p for my mum, jalapeno houmous 10p and tamasalata 10p and 2 lots of bread rolls (not reduced but 2 for £1 instead of 69p/pk).
    • We went out to get KFC in the evening for some spicy wings but used snapfax for 10% discount and paid with luncheon vouchers and 19p cash
    • Asda to swap another bottle cap for a voucher for free bottle of Lenor
