Aw bless - its cold and wet and blowy mostly! Having slithered home - I'm not venturing out again - I was supposed to be going ot look at carpets etc at the new house - but not in this!

Where are you based now?

I'm in Yorkshire now, not too far away. I do love all the Scottish islands though. The last 'tour' we did was Mull & Iona. So pretty.

Josieb - looking forward to finding out how your baked spuds turn out. Might need to give that a try.

Good evening all!!

HAPPYYYY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYY MILLY!!!!!!!:bdaycake:_party_:wave:_party_

Hope you have had a great day!! xxxxx:beer:

Today I have:
- checked online banking (DH got paid so nicked it all )
- packed lunches
- hokey cokey
- lots of comps
- totted up spreadsheets - looking ok


Sad news - our desktop pc has gone to the great pc world in the sky :( It is nearly 7 years old, so I suppose that is a pretty good life
Up till Christmas it was our only pc, then my dad gave me his old laptop after Xmas :A (lovely daddy) so thankfully we still have a working machine.

Prob is, even in this last 2 months, everyone has got used to there being 2 computers - lappy MINE, desktop everyone else!! :rotfl: So guess what is happening now.....I'm fighting to keep my paws on it!!

We really cant afford another one at the moment, so I will just keep entering competitions to win one.....fingers crossed!!!!


Have a great evening everyone xx

Taken them out of the slow cooker and they're cooked through, just going to rub them with butter and stick in oven for a bit to try and crispy up...not sure though...

Hi everyone,

I LOVE these threads for ideas!

Today:

- Took homemade soup and a yoghurt to work for lunch, so no spend there.

- Paperwork for online banking came in today - This is the first time I've had the guts to actually sit down and work out exactly what my bills are and what I'm left with - Pretty surprised at how much money I SHOULD have left and now committing myself to figure out where it's all going with a tight weekly budget.

- I've already committed to 'dropping a brand' for the whole month to see how much I can save, so bought a savers loaf and some savers biscuits - great to hand over just £1 and actually get change back!

- Just made a HUUUUUUUGE pot of quorn pasta bolognaise which will feed us tonight and leave about 5 portions, so thats tomorrow's lunch and some of the weekend taken care of!

- Made a payment towards my IKEA Card - My priority to get rid of - but hoping to have some spare cash before next payday to make an extra payment if I continue to cut back.
