Hello brizzledfw,
Mackerel is still in freezer lol! I might try this recipe, i'm having the family over on easter Sunday so could do it as a pate for more adventurous folks I would love the recipe please do PM me and I will let you know how it works out

Talking of fish, I met my mum and a couple of old family friends today and we ended up with our feet in a tank of Garra Rufa fish!!!! We nearly got thrown out for squealing!

Its different I will give it that! It was a bit like walking through seaweed -yuch! Don't know if I would have it done again but my feet do feel softer! ttfn cgx

2. Save £2 a day until 2/6 to pay for 2 spa trips - 1 for mums 70th and 1 for mates 5oth!

Great news

Compingirl

OK sold 2 items with watchers on 9 others so feeling optimistic. Still got so many items to list its untrue. Most are kids clothes so have decided if they dont sell im might relist the odd one but the rest are being carbooted then its off to a charity shop.

Picked up another MS so thats good, not updating signature till month end

Compingirl

Quite pleased, sold 5 e-bay items and got watchers on 11 others so glad I did it now. Ran out of steam to list on Sunday - too busy but looking forward to next free listing day already :j Hope I sell a few more items

Went to pub last night with my friend for a couple of hours and a good natter but must have overdone it 'cos i've had hangover all day at work lol! That doesn't happen very often

OH has started and almost finished kids bathroom so well chuffed at him - its amazing what a bit of white paint and a new mirror can do lol, and without any major traumas but he's still got the new lightfitting to fit so there's still time:D

I am desperate for Thursday & new visa period to come so I can do a mega shop - according to OH and DS's we have 'nothing to eat' (ie no pop crisp chocolate etc!) although freezer is still quite healthy. I'm out of fabric softener and dishwasher tablets too but determined to wait - i am the Queen of 'eaking it out ' might have to buy some eggs then at least I can whip up a few buns to keep them all sweet:cool:

Dentist tomorrow, so fully intending to spend pm on sofa with a good book

Just waiting for another month to end and bring payday with it. Can't believe it will be April - month 4 - already!!! Where is it all going?? cgx

You know you can use Tesco clubcard vouchers for A. Towers if you have any laying around.......

Compingirl

Yes, I looked into that but I've only got £15 worth of vouchers so not enough - ive opted for 2 for 1 using cokezone vouchers £76 for all for of us but you have to buy on the gate on the day.

I like the sound of your theme park road trip - sounds good fun - I meant to congratulate you on the dieting too, you are doing so well

Just checked e-bay 7 sold & 7 others being watched - slow and steady and £55 has tracked on Quidco for changing my broadband, so my mini totals are coming along nicelycgx

Hello there....wow you've been mega busy. Well done on the ebay stuff. I'm hanging my head in shame at not having done anything on that subject but it will get done!

AT sounds fun
