    I have vague plans of going to Aldi this weekend for more fresh fruit and veg, as te quality is pretty ok for what you pay for it. I need a couple of other bits too but hate the supermarket at the weekend :(
    :hello: If you are heading to our local Aldi - maybe check the Mr S too. They have a few things on at 30p/pack (similar to MrM style packs I think? They are either 3 oranges, 4 apples, small pack mushrooms, 4 baking spuds or 500g bag of carrots...)
    Mortgage free as of 12/08/20!

    Hi all!

    Myself and Mr F have made a decision - we're getting the Fresian Fiesta
    carpink.gif- I have told him that's going to be its name as well :D The cow-print seat covers have been rejected on the grounds of good taste, but I have tasked him with finding me a cow-themed air freshener to put in the car cow.gif

    Last night we went out for a friend's birthday to La Tasca (Spanish themed restaurant) and had a very nice night - the bill was £60 for the two of us though as we split the bill between the 15 people attending. Luckily Mr Fresian was paying as that would have ruined my budget for the month yahoo.gif

    Plans for today aren't that exciting - supermarket for milk and bread, possibly going to a movie tonight. What is everyone else up to?

    "Good Taste" is not sufficient reason to reject cow-print fabrics.

    You'll be rebelling against furry dice soon as well... :eek:

    Hi f_f. It's good to hear you sounding positive again. I think the car's a good plan.

    The highlight of my day was standing in the cold watching DS1 play footie. I wouldn't mind but they lost 7-0 :eek:
    One step at a time ;)
