Nice to see you back Elizabeth, wondered where you had got to.

MrsA, glad your feeling better 2day.

Princess loki, sounds like a difficult situation to be in, sometimes people forget that its not just the people who are ill or having ops etc, that are going through a difficult time, but those around them as well.

Mizzy, well done on your wins on the scratchcard, am thinking thats £20?!

Thanks guys, i know it will go quickish just not quick enough! Its also made me realise how much he means to me and the fact that putting my own long lists and hobbies before him is not the way to go!

So, the next two weeks will be very busy weeks for me so that i can get up to date with things so that when he does come back we can do something special together.

Hi all, well my last spend today, i gave into advertising and bought these knives in Tesco for £25. But there are loads and they last forever so im never going to have to buy another knife again! My idea behind the knife set is to make own food now have decent knives! Stir frys here i come!!
Bought some folder dividers and a drink too thats it.
Will sort out finances tonight once and for all. Got to get a travel card tomo for the month too.
Ive really struggled this month despite all my plans then bought that today! But now is the time to get it sorted. I really hope to have reached a 5k savings goal this month. What can i do guys!!

Here are the positive things today....and my plans
· Got Radio times mag through as part of my cheap magazine deals offer.....
· Got a free spiral veg cutter from tesco
· Taken out chicken to make home made nandos tomo after uni..will do for uni Thursday too!! Yum
· Staying in tonight...tv, wii fit, uni work
· Sort out finances for payday
· Meal plans
· Check phone bill
· Look for freebies
· Catch up with friends
· Look for ways to up my income
· Look for some free fun days out
· Add lose change to piggy bank

Andan hope you feel better soon, its for good reasons and your just on the end of the phone, it will be fine
