  • Hello all, been busy with work so not been on posting few days. I hope everyone is well and has been good moneysaving. Unfortunately a few things have cropped up and ive been terrible with spending. Buts its payday and im trying to get back into money saving. Especially as i looks like work is reducing our wages and stuff.
    So anyways, the positives, having to get a new vacuum i got one in tesco’s cheap, and got a free healthy baby goodie bag. Had some eczema crème and tissues for me and baby bits i can donate to a neighbours daughter whose having a baby anytime now!
    Im at the vitality show tomo hoping to get some freebies and not spend to much there....
    Im spending tonight reorganising finances, look freebies and bits

    Hope work don't reduce your hours too much tallie and good luck with the savings for this month.

    Fay, we just have shrubs in our garden. Not sure if you can tell from the photos but my garden is on a slope which makes it a real pain, at the bottom which is the bit you can't see, we have a patio area but that never gets the sun so makes planting difficult. As for what we have in that garden its mainly a combination of next doors garden and the owner who used to live here planted awful prickly bushes through out it, hence my hands being cut up. Am intending to use the smaller area at the bottom for our plants and they will be going in containers anyway. Some of the flower seeds that you sent me have now started to germinate which is great, so even when i can't work in the garden i am working on what to grow and get out there!

    I have discussed the 101 things with OH and he is really interested, so looks like I shall be joining your challenge! Do you reckon I can get away with including the things that I had already started? Its just college stuff and reaching target weight but it was my beginning and made me determind to keep going and achieve more.

    Absolutely Cleosmum, i included things i knew i was off to start or had begun to make a start on.

    At the end of the day the challenge is your challenge and although we will all cheer you on, its what works for you. Some people like to tick things off theirs straight away so may adapt their targets where other people wont tick it off until it is completed to perfection. No one is right or wrong on it and if it keeps you motivated then do what you think is right.

    I love my challenge though and am surprised by how much i have learned already along the way.

    Am especially glad that your OH is interested in it though, nice to have that support there and someone to take part with you.

    hey again.

    I do have joined the 101 challenge and am currently trying to work out how to make the blog and add my list!!

    Been out to B&Q (eek £72) but got loads and loads and loads. Came home and planted 2 trays of strawberrys, cucumbers, chilli peppers and beetroots. Have also repotted the sweetcorn and will try and get those in the garden as soon as the beds are made. Catch you all in the morning!

    :eek: Bad News -Vet thinks poor horsey may have laminitis, which is what we were hoping against.
    :eek: :eek: More bad news - a bout of it years ago means it was excluded on his insurance.
    :D Good News - We seem to have picked it up early so should be treatable, box rest and medication started today,and change of food.
    Oh well its only money :rolleyes: Vet booked again for Monday:rolleyes: Not very DFW.
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.

    awww, poor horsy. Best food I have ever come across for laminitis is Happy Hoof. We use for our chunky exmoor as was recommended and its just a fab complete food. Hope he feels better soon
