    Re-evaluate budget and work out how to cope whilst waiting for student finance to cough up!
    Plan meals to get used to not having to feed 18year old with hollow legs!

    Week 3 - continue from week 2
    Still keep onto student finance &

    Start looking for Christmas presents as I will now know how much money I have to spare for this

    Week 4 - details to follow!
    Week 5 -

    2) 4 alcohol free nights a week
    3) 4 NSDs a week
    4) pay off the egg card

    Up to day 3 for the alcohol free nights, and second NSD of the week. Not managed to do Davina again yet though. hopefully get it done a couple of times at the weekend. Out tomorrow night so no chance of tomorrow being alcohol free or a NSD!

    Ok I've caught up with thread now!

    I have just tried crochet for the first time, did a youtube video, ooh how they make it look so easy, I will keep practicing, I've always wanted a crochet blanket- I think it will take me a while to get to that stage, my granny square had a few mistakes in but it looked okish.

    Can't really do any exercise / housework my back is still hurting (hurt it last week) been to docs today and got codine for the pain.

    We are planing to take the kids swimming again this week, I took them myself last week. I have so far this week stuck to the meal plan and I only got delivered what I needed, hopefully I can keep this one up. (need to curb spending - I always over order, but this week I haven't so I save at least 30 pounds on what I'd normally get)

    Anyway hope everyone is doing well.
