    Have just had to frantically juggle some funds around to keep the joint account looking happy. Am pleased to say it all looks sorted but I'm so glad that I check my accounts online every other day. Disaster averted :)

    A pirate ship sounds like fun pammy :) I'm still going to do the 4x4 trip - noone can stop me!

    I find I've lost my ommph with batch cooking and meal planning :cool: I'm very good at making lists at what we've got and meals we could make but tend to get distracted thereafter.

    Therefore my action plan is to get back into the swing of batch cooking/meal planning in March. Hopefully it should easier then as the weather will be nicer (we hope) and veg can start to be grown. Even just reducing the grocery spend by £20 would be great. Especially as we're going to by the car in March and be in debt by £7000 :cool:

    I saw that Argo had a bread maker for sale at £18, got all excited and then realised there's none at the stores near us :( I will continue to pray for one on freecycle.

    Me too... I had a biking holiday there in 2001. It rained for the entire week and I think I had trenchfoot when I got home, but the roads were amazing :p Kept stopping to admire the scenery :D

    hello

    I would like to join the MFW community but am not sure which thread I need to join - there are so many - can someone point me in the right direction please?? Is there a 'main' one??

    Thanks!

    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!
