    Felt very uninspired with my meal for today but have made some potato salad and found a frozen chicken breast which I coated in cajun spices, so almost made a chicken salad meal. I have some watercress in the fridge I'll add to it. Not exciting but it'll keep me out of the supermarket later when at work.

    I think it sounds quite tasty even if you aren't that impressed with it. Good luck with the savings target :).

    It was actually quite tasty, and I nearly bought some chocolate, but found some at work that was left over from a valentines promotion, so have been stuffing thorntons all evening. Result!

    At least you were inspired to eat. I only finished work at 8 and now I really can't be bothered to eat!! Although Thorntons choccies could probably tempt me!

    Today is a different matter, no bread etc so HAVE to go to the shop for lunch. Still it's one day rather than three so not too bad, and there are still plenty of choccies at work for me to pilfer lol. I think the majority of the office have given up chocolate for Lent so it would be rude not to eat them!

    Thanks primula. I wont tell you what came out of the lump on my gum last night, but needless to say there is no lump there this morning and no pain!

    I bought goodies in the shop - naughty me! Am at work all weekend so am going to make a plan on how to make some extra cash.

    I am quite tired today after the weekend at work. I went out on Saturday night as well and didn't quite stick to my one drink that I was going to have - oops.
    Spent a bit of money on a takeaway last night as well as I was feeling rough and needed crap food to make me feel better.

    Today I have been making up new kits which is what I would love to sell eventualy. I have made a beaded bookmark kit and working on a "no tools required" kids jewellery kit.

    I have been really pleased with how the packaging has come out, and people have said they like it, so am hoping it sells then I can buy more bits and pieces.

    Listed a few bits on ebay this afternoon and will try to do some more tonight. I have also requested a couple of small amounts from TCB which will help towards this months total.

    Been to the gym at the weekend as well, and am hoping to go tonight or tomorrow afternoon. I HAVE to get into the habit to be able to train for the Race for Life in June.
