Hello, hope everyone had a good weekend!

Look away smf2.....

the Malverns was great! There's about £70 worth of plants waiting to be planted,

What did you get?

We've been naughty too:D We bought 4 of these

for a garden wall. They look fantastic! And great for keeping herbs away from snails and slugs.

I'm sure they'll turn in more pleasure than a meal of that price and over a longer period this year too

Exactly what I think Stu All of them are planted now too and look lovely.

The wall mounts look lovely smf2, I'd never keep the pots alive thou as I'm terrible at watering I take it you cook quite a lot to need four for your herbs!

We finally had cavity wall insulation put in yesterday. While it won't have much effect on us now, since the heatings been turned off, I can look forward to a warmer house this winter:D We may even have loft insulation if we ever get round to laying it :rolleyes: (its just sat in the loft at the mo)

Heyho, I'm off to belly dancing tonight :rotfl:While I've got the belly for it this is actually the first time I'm going with my friend to have a look-see. Will let you know what its like tomorrow.

Hey,

Thanks for being the first to post on my MFW thread. I thought I'd see where you were at with yours and read some tips too.

Dance classes... my spending treat too! Also need new jazz shoes, can't believe I've made these ones last 7 and a half years.

'tis true hanging baskets and containers and pots need watering at least once a day:o

Good news on the cavity wall insulation. You'll be looking forward to lower fuel bills next winter.:T

Hope your new plants thrive and enjoy the belly dancing

Hi MRN :hello:

Belly dancing was good fun and a giggle, not sure if I will go again though...we will see....

Still haven't got my dancing shoes yet :rolleyes: keep not having the time to go and try them on

I've really got to sit down and sort out the spreadsheets I think the grocery challenge has gone awol

SmlSave

Its Friday! :T

You all gotta promise to beat me up Monday if I don't sort out my spreadsheets - promise?

I'm off swimming now, see you Monday

Mortgage_Reduction_Novice

Cyber fists coming your way if you fail on the spreadsheets!!!

SmlSave

I was good! I was good! :A Since the weather was so miserable I just sat in all Sunday and went through the paperwork that has been neglected.

I've overspent on the grocery challenge by +£50 for the last two months :eek: how bad is that?

So I've bought the Sun today to make use of the £5 Morrison voucher and on inspection of the freezer we've got plenty of food to keep us going, just the fresh stuff to keep stocked up on.

I will do better...I will do better....

On the wedding front:

• Most the invitations have gone out and several spelling mistakes pointed out to me I ,of course, am blaming OH and he is blaming me :rolleyes:
• My wedding dress still fits :T
• Waistcoats are being made for the men
• Hair trial on Saturday!

Only down thing this weekend was having to pay the car tax :mad: and the MOT is due soon too

Mortgage_Reduction_Novice

Well done... no cyber fists!

Not as bad as a friend as mine then - she booked her "hair trial" for the morning of the wedding!!! Then subsequently told the hairdressers that the wedding was called off. So naughty!
