    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    heatings just about to kick in , in about 5 mins, trying to not have it on much

    hubby went to the meat van yesterday and bought a pile of meat to fill the freezer, once he seperated the items into bags of 4 we have 19 meals from it :) plus with what was in the freezer we should only have to now buy fresh veg and milk bread and packed lunch stuff .

    He spent £40 were hoping its going to be a cheaper shopping month this month lol Paul wants to do 28-28th of each month as a spending month cause thats when he gets paid

    Good idea Claire, have you got a slow cooker? They're great for meat, stews etc.

    I have a fish man that comes round every Wednesday with the most delicious, gorgeously fresh fish :T

    Wow,that's impressive Beanie!
    Ellidee-just caught up,so sorry to hear about your SIL,I know it's been a while coming,but it never makes it easier. I'm glad your BIL was there, He'd have been distraught if he hadn't. Life's carp sometimes...........
    Snaggs-my sister and hubby split last week, after 17 years. The lies are all coming out now. She's been seeing someone else since July, despite denying it.BIL willing to have her back,so time will tell. I think it's tragic that the IVF stuff just put too much pressure on your sis relationship-that was what you were saying?

    Had a lovely night last night-pub is in finals for best pub chef in Sussex,and my word, I can see why!Started with scallops on black pudding with red cabbage and parsnip chips, followed by a lamb shank in a port redcurrant and star anise sauce with mash-absolutely stunning..oh,and a glass or two of fizz;)
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
