    I know what you mean about the bread!!!
    It is so tasty and so easy to make... But as long as you have added seeds/nuts etc - IT IS HEALTHY ;)

    Hi,

    Have just checked the Mortgage balance today as the payment for this month has been credited

    Balance - £99,854.02 so we are below the £100,000 mark for the first time :j

    6a00d83451db8d69e201156fee928e970b-800wi



    Must be a great feeling - can't wait until we are sub £100K :T:T:T:T


    PS we love our bread maker too

    Thanks SMF2

    I have bought the breadmaker yesterday from Costco. Cost us £80.48 so still cheaper than other places and also I have the peace of mind in case there is a fault...

    Now just need to buy a card for them (I may make one !!)

    Have done my first grocery shop for the month (Some from Costco and some from Asda).

    Total till today £14.62. Still have to buy some fruit for the week. Will update my signature

    I have done the meal plans for this week... Will be doing the cooking tomorrow

    Hi,

    We have had a no spend weekend :j

    I have done lots of cooking for the week and also as it was sunny today, there has been lots of washing done and a nice barbeque in the evening...

    DH has been busy gardening today...

    I have finally taken photographs of some stuff that I am going to Ebay next weekend.. It is mostly clothes and shoes and that too not designer, so I am not expecting much.

    Have done a Pinecone survey yesterday so £3 luncheon vouchers

    Have been applying for MS but only one company till now has found me competent for this. Others either don't have any requirement or my applications don't get successful :mad:

    So not much earnings there..

    Which MS companies have you signed up to MQ? And have you signed up to any survey sites?

    Hope to see you on the eBay thread. I've done nothing for a few days but still have got 4 parcels to wrap and send today. Wonder if I have enough stuff in my house to pay off my mortgage? :rotfl:
