    Dinah! Surely you have enough to keep you going!!!!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Haha the shoe's on the other foot - Birdie telling Dinah off for a change! Both were £5.99 in the Middlesbrough branch, some kind of Mother's Day promo I think.

    I'm so tired, lemon cake making was a total farce last night! We'd made it once before and it was amazing, but then of course as soon as you want to make one for a birthday cake it all goes wrong. Or rather the tin we used was too big and it came out a bit flat, so we started all over again, which means we'll be eating the flat one ourselves tonight - yum! Then OH went and tripped on the steps going into work and it's all gone a bit squashed anyway!

    Been checking my money, got a fair bit to last me but payday is still two weeks awat so don't want to get complacent. Been doing some sums, ; if I put that £38 worth of change into the bank, and move over the £23 I have in my 'loose change' pot, I'll have £295 in the MOF, can easily make that up to £300, which isn't bad for a month's savings I don't think :)

    Want to try and do two reviews today, and move two over to Ciao. Work is so busy at the moment though :(

    Oh woe. I promised myself I wouldn't keep checking the cottage but I totally have and now it says 'Let Agreed' :( Bit of a downer for the start of the weekend!

    Sorry to hear about the cottage Tete, but Dinah's right :o

    You've done really well on your MOF! :j

    What do you think of the Gordon Pub Food book? I've got it and think it's a bit rubbish. I have a whole list of books I want at the moment.

    Hope the flat lemon cake was yum! :D

    Sorry to hear about the cottage. Same thing happened to the one we liked but we have found a couple we are going to view this week.

    Hope you had a good weekend.

    Sorry to hear about the cottage Tete. It might be for the best and you might find a nicer one for less money :)

    Doesn't feel like it at the mo, there doesn't seem to be much out there. I was feeling OK about not going for a few months but then when moving really soon became a possibility I got excited and now the thought of staying with Dad til June or July makes me want to bang my head off a brick wall until I lose consciousness. I want out!
