    Evening diary,

    A bit of a late update from me today! Well either yesterday or today was supposed to be a NSD as I knew I needed petrol on one of the days. Well both days have turned out spend days :mad:.
    Last DH came home and announced we needed butter, I thought he asked me to buy some because he was taking it to work but no it was cos we had about a teaspoon full left! Also the petrol light had come on so off I trot to Tesco express for butter, milk (since I was there!) and petrol.
    Went to the fridge for the fruit for the kids packed lunches this morning and we had none of that either! So thats £4 spend on grapes and strawberries today. Tomorrow will also be a spend day as we need garlic bread for with our tea.

    Thanks BR, im dead giddy :D!!!

    Well DH got paid today so the joint account looks lovely.
    This evening after school I put jackets in for tea and also made lasagne for tomorrow and also a batch of cauliflower cheese since I was making cheese sauce for tea anyway. Had my jacket with cauliflower cheese and it was delicious.

    So tomorrow should be my first cycle day but its come really cold today so im just hoping it doesnt snow. Ive also got to hunt out a drawstring bag to carry my work clothes and toiletries in.

    Right think thats about all from me! Roll on the shopping coming Friday so we feel like weve something in the cupboards and fridge!!

    Catch up soon xx

  • Hi Mummy,

    Sub £14k Woo hoo :T:j

    It was seriously cold today - if it is as cold tomorrow please be careful out and about on your bike ;)

    I need to add fixing my wing mirror onto my list as some muppet has hit it when it was parked and smashed the casing on the back :mad: At least it was only my little clio and not the family car - OH would be furious :o
    Just keep swimming!

  • Morning diary,

    I survived my first cycle ride :j!!! Didnt dare go on the road much mind, lucky there werent many pedestrians about this morning. Took it nice and steady as I was worried there might be icy patches as it was 0 degrees according to my phone when I left. Took me around 40 mins which is longer than I thought it would take me but will definately improve on that next time.

    Nothing much else to report :D!! xx

    Hi Mummy!
    Just thought I would congratulate you on your debt busting!
    I don't post, but I often read to see how you are doing (seem to have very little time at the mo, a toddler and a new baby due very soon - I can't wait to not feel the size of a house and be struggling doing most things!!) your posts keep me inspired and we are still heading in a good direction (although with SMP i shall be pulling those purse strings tighter and tighter!!).
    Glad you enjoyed your well deserved holiday - I love CP, we go most years (out of terms time so it's affordable!)

    Hello Tootoo, thank you for popping in. Cant believe you are nearly due!!! I remember when you were just pregnant, that feels like 2 mins ago!
    Thank you for the congrats and pop in and announce when baby is born wont you?!

    Well ive had to buy my lunch :mad:. Had cauliflower cheese and mash in the fridge leftover to bring in and was too busy packing my shower gel etc I completely forgot! Also had limited funds due to only bringing my small purse with no cards for milk and garlic bread. Managed to get both of these and a chicken arribiatta (sp!) meal soup for £3.50 :T. It was delicious aswell and very filling. Ive now got the grand sum of 31p in my small purse!!!

  • Hi Mummy,

    Well done on your cycling, you will have to get a little timer and aim to beat your time each day. You will be in the Tour De France before you know it.

    Sub 14k now too WAHOO.

    Hi Mummy,
    Thank you - I shall pop in and let you know!
    I'm hoping I won't go too far overdue! Do you have any tips for being a mummy of two?!
    My toddler is generally very good, so I'm hoping that she won't get too jealous....!!

  • Morning diary,

    Nothing too exciting to report! Just made the 2 cc payments that needed doing so will update my signature when I get home.
    My shoulders are aching a little today, think my handle bars on the bike are too low so will ask DH to adjust them this evening.
    Other than that, everything is well :T.

    Cant believe this time next month it will be 2 years since I started this diary!!

    Haha Livvy cant imagine me being that good :rotfl:!!

    Tootoo, erm not sure what to advise as it was 3 years ago and ive slept and worried a lot since then!! My DD was very good too so im sure you will be fine. I used to always stress that the house wasnt tidy enough etc... dont do this!! Not worth it.

    Right best get on xx

    Afternoon diary,

    Just eating my leftovers lunch, a bit random but mashed potato, cauliflower cheese and cherry tomatoes! and a kiwi fruit.

    Still havent decided what to do for tea, its going to be something quick and easy as DH is complaining of an upset tummy! Just popped to MrS and bought 2 tins of beans and some Granny Sniffs as the kids call them :rotfl:. I ordered some of those to be delivered but they were cheaper in MrS so will amend my order this evening.
    Cant wait for my order to be delivered as the cupboards etc are bare.

    Right best get on xx
