Hello everyone, lots of new small thingers and some regulars today!
A quiet day here, needed milk so not a NSD but not much out and budgeted for
Aimong for a tv bonaza tonight of Dr Who and Gavin & Stacey so will be at home. It's a bit chilly here though so will be snuggling up in one room with whole family to make most of heating in there. Need to venture into kitchen soon and that room is FREEZING!
Not really a reguar day but have checked bank and sliced off odd 'p's' into virtual sealed pot. I find when I'm being particularly careful with real money I have less to put into my real sealed pot.
Am going to try not to shop till next week and use up all bits we have - may need to buy the odd veg or something to make it edible.
Have a good rest of the day - enjoy whatever you are doing and keep warm!Getting there...slowly!
GC : must do better
NSD: very rare
No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.0 -
