    I'm not doing an awful lot. I've just made some potato and leek soup which I'm probably going to freeze. I'd like to do a food plan for the week ahead, I'm only giving us three a £25 food budget for the week. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I'm happier eating food made from scratch and it will save money.

    I've tried to convert my dad to internet shopping because I know it would save us money given that even I can't stop myself from picking up things we really don't need, but he's being a pain in the backside about it because asda don't deliver here and that's where he usually shops. I keep telling him that my mum shopped in tesco for years and he never complained, but this doesn't make any difference. It's like he wants to throw money away.

    As a result I'm also trying to dig out my sisters veg book so I can decide what to grow this year and plan when to starrt it off. I'll save money on food if it kills me... Unfortunately I'm not good with the cold so growing anything during winter has gone to pot a bit. I grew so much last year, it was great fun.

    I haven't really been pulling my weight on dooyoo again. I'm going to write a review now but I need to think of something to do it on. I'll never get my TV at this rate lol.

    I think they are just taking the p*** so am sure will get banned soon. The other reviews are bad too but not in a rude away.

    If you understand it start off with a small bet. Just watch out for some of the footie matches being cancelled over this weekend which is making things awkward.

    I haven't used that site Jen but it's got some good info on and some good tips for the free bets, am going to look through those when I get my darn money back from the other site.
