Hello!!

Change of plans for today. DD's dad is coming to take her out so no trip to Longleat today. I hope he will come early for once (and not make me drive 40 miles to deliver DD because he is late and rushing :mad:). He will bring me two and half dogs to look after so after I have walked them with mine I hopefully will have lots of time to organise my sitting room and tackle other items on my to do list. Heading now to continue Hokey Cokey, tidy dry washing away and cut the grass...

Edit: My flow activity yesterday: Learned to play 4 cords on guitar which allowed me to play and sing two songs!!!

The 101 in 1001 days challenge is where you complete 101 things in 1001 days. Pavlovs dog posted the challenge. Here is the link to the thread about it, there are quite a few of us doing it now.

Fay, i haven't bought any grass seeds as yet but its on my to do list to do. Need to burn last lot of gardening stuff then cut grass before planting grass seeds but then they need to go down so we can have a nice lawn!

Tomato plants have grown a bit more, definitely noticed it when i got back from cornwall. How many tomato plants do you think i can put in each grow bag?

Hi everyone, happy BH weekend!

I'm feeling a little (ahem) delicate at the moment so I'm not anticipating achieving much today, except hopefully pick up some useful bits at the booty booty later.

Yesterday I had a fairly cheap entertainment packed day
1) took T to play at a friends house
2) picked up OH and B and went for a picnic in the park
3) Went to a houseparty with some friends from work. I bought cider to drink rather than my usual wine . I caught the bus there, but had to fork out £10 for a taxi home. Still, safety first I suppose.

Tomnorrow we are meeting friends at our annual local Donkey Derby which is usually good fun.

Hope you enjoy your weekend,
L x

Hi everyone, wow, everyone has been busy! Im still in pjs (again!) but stayed up to watch the boxing last night as OH had friends round, so thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Today will be totally moneysaving, I dont intend to spend any money but will spend time planning for May, updating my spending diary and setting targets etc. Also need to list yet more things on ebay :rolleyes:

So far I have

* Read papers online
* Caught up with a couple of threads on here
* Washing on 30
* Cashed out winning from yesterdays bet £7.50 :T I dont usually gamble, but got free betting slip from someone at work and somehow I managed to win!
* Checked my items on ebay
* Counted up penny jar and bagged them up
* Cashed in free love film rental
* Checked quidco

Hope everyone has a lovely day x
