    Well, i feel nice and healthy after going to yoga, although i do feel slightly sick from moving all those toxins around my body, plus i got cramp in my leg which still hurts despite massaging it. However i can assure you that the yoga was fun and it made me realise how inflexible my body is compared to a lot of other people!!

    My friend has cancelled going out tonight as she is ill, so at least i won't spend any money tonight as me and OH have decided to stay in and watch one of my free trial dvds which is also on my 101 list, so were killing two birds with one stone! May also have a glass of wine later that i got ages ago.

    Hi - I have (at last!) reached the magic figure to get a £10 HMV voucher from Pigsback so ordered that today;
    Have been cleaning all day like some mad 1930s housewife and my place is spotless (and I'm feeling exceptionally smug about it);
    Went to the shopping centre today and spent £3 - on a latte and newspapers and that was it (not bad considering pay day was yesterday!)
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    AHHHHHHHHHH!

    I've just got a £50 parking ticket. I parked on a single yellow but the restriction was until midnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm seething about it! I went to see a colleague at my voluntary job about organising our training for next week.

    Oh well - I'll have to put it down to experience and see how I can pay the damn ticket.

    Back to the money saving tomorrow.

    :D Morning everyone :hello:
    So far I have:
    HM breakfast
    Washing at 30 degrees
    Heating off!

    Very shortly I will start to:

    See to animals
    Put washing out on the line to dry, as it looks nice and bright outside
    Put yesterday's washing onto airer inside just to air off after line drying yesterday = this silly house has no airing cupboard :mad:

    Pull game meat that has been simmering in the SC all night off the bones and reduce the stock, with a view to making a nice pie later.

    Go and visit DD1 for lunch = about 1 hours drive and toll bridge fee to pay, so not NSD. However, well worth it though to see her and little one!

    Not spend anything other than for fuel and toll bridge fee.

    Cook meal later when I get back for OH who is working all weekend (game pie as mentioned earlier - enough for tomorrow as well, plus another pie's worth of cooked meat to put back in freezer :D )

    Also make a pork and cider casserole for in the week when I get home from work all frazzled.

    Get him to light the fire if it is chilly this evening instead of putting on the central heating.

    Have a nice day everyone :j

    Good morning!!

    Today I will:

    -Hang washing outside (lovely bright morning)
    -Cook roast chicken for tea and make it last more than one meal
    -Do some gardening - lots of tidying up to do. It seems that lots of peeps on here are very dedicated gardeners doing things with seeds & greenhouses - unfortunately I am not.....I have always just bought stuff from garden centres for my pots & hanging baskets!! Will have to rethink that this year!
    -Go for a bike ride with the DDs

    So hopefully should be my first NSD since I became a DFW last Thursday!!
