  • Hello Folks!

    Managed to get DH to look at this site last night and what an effect it had!! Within about half an hour he had retrieved all of the cook books from the kitchen and we made a meal plan for the week (turned 10pm mind!!) Then he forced me to go to the all night tesco, do the shopping and fill the car up. He seems determined that the rest of this week will be no spend days!! Haven't seen him looking so inspired in ages....:j :j :j :j

    That's great news TSoC - it'll be so much easier if you OH is on board!

    Well done!

    OK I spent £2.50, on two bottles of Diet Coke (on special offer) and a packet of cookies as a treat for my son and his friends who were over to play. So not too bad really!

    £2.05 on bus fare instead of £3.10 because the bus drivers give child tickets to anyone local they can get away with!
