    we had wedges, chicken burgers, and I had cheese cubes and silverskin onions with them. I think Im addicted to them.

    Had to do our weekly shop in Sainsburys because we've got no car, so went with sis and bro-in-law but we spent £35 and did quite well. Was well behaved and didnt buy any junk, and dh got loads of fruit and i bought veggies to cut up for the week to snack on with some dip :)

    I vow to be very good this week xx

    I think Im gonna end up buying the pick and mix LOL...... hopefully it wont cost me too much to fill the kilner jar..... plus the jar did only cost me £1 lol

    we can keep each other entertained with innane chatter then :)

    BTW Totally OT (arent all my posts) where can I get any heart sweets?(without having to pay awful pick and mic prices!
    I tried wilkinson but they didnt have anything (aside from pick&mix) and I couldnt find any in tesco express.....
    I bought a £1 kilner jar and was gonna fill it with heart shaped sweet for DH for valentines.... although he did remind me earlier that it is "just another day"..............

    God so totally devoid of any emotion! :rotfl:
    Asda sells lovehearts sweets and haribos and sherbert saucers - have fun. You could also try some of the pound shops - see what they have in. Good luck

    hi cafcgirl and cmd

    inane chatter ay?

    Well I am trying to live within a strict budget this week - ideally using cash to underline when it is gone it is gone

    I need to take something back to Asda for a refund of £7 so that would help with last night's overspend!

    I was pleased as found about £3.50 in my coat pocket this morning and DS has just owned up to not having given me the change from lunches last week and has just returned £4.05 which is great. We had a really serious chat with me and OH some of which I passed onto DS which is basically while I am off sick - we have to live within a strict budget or risk losing the house.... That got DS's attention - hence the cash refund LOL

    awww for DS, good on him....

    I see you were both just lurking in the shadows!

    Ive got a shot at some paid work, via bro in law, so thats good, need to get to CAB this week, keep putting it off but I really cant anymore.

    Need to arrange some house viewings as well. I need to move!
    Stupid gym still no refund and stupid x-boss still no wages, getting really annoyed now!
