    Thanks all..not done much today.
    Bought DGS some pjs and dressing gown today for his easter present...got him England pjs as he loves football and a blue dressing gown only came to £9.48 in home bargains.
    I will buy DGD something when she is down..a pretty dress I think..they are coming down within the next couple of weeks..so that will be nice.

    Nipped to farmfoods to pick up bread 4 hovis wholemeal loaves is only £2 ans bought 36 weetabix £2..so good value there.

    While in home bargains picked up egg poaching pan,electric tin opener,food bags,freezer bags,serviettes ,batteries and bin bags along with DGS pjs and dressing gown and only spent £26 there..so not bad.

    Have stuck to my diet and have 6 1/2 points left still.

    Day 8 of not smoking...am a bit chesty and tired at the moment but it will pass.

    So have had a lazy day today.

    I'm glad you feel you've been lazy, Taxi! Seems enough to be getting on with to me, especially when you're recovering from a cold. And brill to the £200 off the debt!
