    Tut Tut, I go away for a week (just from the computer not anywhere exciting) and you go completely off the rails :)

    I do like the lighter text in the naughty bits though; but you can't fool us into believing you only spent a £1 on dinner (well maybe for a few seconds, my eyes are not as good as they used to be) :rotfl:

    Hi ally. Graze is a company that sends out graze boxes which are filled with scrummy and healthy nibbles. You can order a free box and then cancel your account if you want too. :) I was only going to have the freebie but now I'm hooked. If you decide to give it a go would you mind using code 1V42PMPN to get your free box? I know its cheeky but I then get £1 off my next one.

    Oh lucky you - I love Bournemouth beach. Haven't been there for ages - used to take our boys there when they were little.....Happy Days:D
  • OMG

    Where do you get the energy !

    I have read your diary from top to bottom and you get so much done, I struggle just keeping the house clean and putting a meal on the table for OH to get home, Altho I do have a 18 month old son.

    I hope everything is truly successful for you you deserve it:j

    Oh, stacey, thank you for such a lovely post smiley_hug.gif
    I've been having a case of Febuary greys and you've made me feel better

    I guess we all feel that we're never doing enough (apart from evab though ;))
    I have no idea how I'd be like with a little un although I'm thinking of broaching the subject with DH later this year :p

    Bournemouth was great though and my feet killed after 5hrs dancing each day! We treated ourselves to fish n chips on the beach :)

    So the diet and the budget have both taken a beating!

    I have bought 10 items (one is a pressy) total cost £95 but I should get 5% cashback throuh Quidco.
    Hubby took the day off work and spent a small fortune:eek:. Just over £500 on floor tiles and £260 on two new tyres:eek::eek::eek:. We just need to buy the kitchen now:rotfl:.

    Finished negotiations with the window firm; £3,500 for windows, fascias and soffits(sp?).

    Glad you had a good time SML, we used to go to Bournemouth every year & I still love it :)
