Hi everyone

Opened a "proper bank account at Barcleys Have no credit in the UK so this has been really hard with everyone else (thankfully the Abbey gave me a knock back :beer: what a close escape I had there:D)

Thought about making a few wheat bags as pessies for exmas so trundled off to the pet food store and found chicken feed for 3.99 for 10 kilos,With some of the scraps of material that I already have this will my "job" for lent.

Thought about buying some fat balls for the birds but saw the price and re-thought that if I just bought the seed at 99p I could make my own with the fat I would normally just throw away.

Speaking of Lent I am going to stop going to the local bakery and devouring their lovely pecan and walnut danish pastries, This is going to KILL me:o but I will be good as it is costing too much and not good for my waist (am I protesting too loud?:rotfl:)

But will make some of the weetbix brownies as the boys love these and hate weetabix.
Got the washing on the airer, done at 30 and with HM made powder.

Later I am going to shred all the old papers and try to use it as cat litter never tried this before, so will see how it goes.

Hoe Cakes and chilli for dinner,,, boys will be pleased. these two are eating me out of house and home :rolleyes: do 15 year olds EVER get full? mind you they are both 6'2 and weight lift and wrestle so perhaps I should expect it. But yikes!!

OOOW I have my very own star, not sure how that happened!
