    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Morning All - I'm still pretty down but think it's important to make myself post here, regardless of mood. It does help to spur me through the day.

    For me yesterday:
    - clickies and scratchies
    - checked banking
    - surveys
    - 6 hours in the garden (cleared pebbles from one area, cleaned them bag by bag, cleared new space, laid weed mats, laid pebbles, cut the grass, swept and tidied, pulled out evil weeds)
    - did 2 loads of washing - low temp/line dried
    - dusted and hoovered house
    - meals from stores
    - used freebie toiletries
    - used free texts

    And for today, I will:
    - do scratchies and clicks
    - check for freebies
    - make a big pasta bolognese in SC
    - do some competitions
    - ironing (as little as possible, of course)
    - cut front grass, and tidy
    - update signature here
    - do a meal plan for this week (will try to stretch whatI've got, to delay another Mr T order)
    - find some time to do some stitching

    Hugs to everyone
