    * I have leftover veggie pasta bake for lunch, so a no spend day
    * Convinced OH to drive us home to our folks tomorrow for a long weekend (he's unable to do his OT this Saturday as he cut his hand and has stitches, my poorly Carpenter) - so will save money and have lovely family time too
    * Got to work at 8 instead of 9:30 and listed 15 things on eBay. Have a lunchtime list too
    * Recommended MSE to my friend Anna who's having a rough time of it

    Good day, so far. Can't wait to get 'home' on Friday night.

    called up my mummy and decided to go home for a few days which means i won't have to spend any money to feed myself...and no doubt she'll try and force some money on me again. she tried to give me £20 when i was away with her. i hid it in her car and told her when i got home. she got VERY angry with me :mad: :rotfl:

    Had a great "free" day with my two kids: went to feed the ducks and played in the park, and in the afternoon went to a free "play with paint" session at Sure Start. Kids ate home-made lollies from reduced angel delight (10 lollies for 25p). Picked first tomatoes from greenhouse, spring onions and beans both grown in pots (seeds for free from dad, compost cheap from uncle). Best of all, sold a run down boat that has been littering my garden for 2 years (a project my husband took on that never got done) for £1000.00! been for sale for ages, made a loss but it's gone now and money in the bank!
    Tomorrow - Free Sure Start Yoga Bugs session for kids...determined summer holidays will be free!
