    Jesa - sounds like your Dad's funeral was lovely. Well done on doing the eulogy - I did them for my parents & years later I'm still glad that I pushed myself to do it. It can often be a difficult time after the funeral as the event you've been focussing on isn't there any more - be gentle on yourself. x

    It was soooo difficult to write, took me a whole day to write with buckets of tears but it helped me not cry so much on the day of the funeral as I had already been through all my memories. I'm feeling a little better today. Thanks for all the lovely hugs.

    Started weight watchers yesterday to take my mind off things. I get married in less than 3 months so I need to lose a stone to get into my dress. Starting walking to work too so am saving petrol and the environment at the same time.

    For the month so far (crikey I just realised I still have March challenge as my sig):

    £2.20 cashback and voucher used on Play order
    16p cash found
    £1.10 music magpie
    £2.68 & £10.68 & £3.18 amazon sales
    £53.58 & 4p cashback
    £70 Grand National win
    £9.23 playtrade sale
    £30 cashback for joining weight watchers online (completely free including when using one of their special offers at the moment too)

    Total: £182.85 so far

    Nothing financial to add but did get the rest of a bottle of wine free when I bought a friend a birthday drink after work. So paid less than £6 for the bottle, which was less than what two large glasses would have cost - in these parts (the south coast) that's considered a bargain ;)

    So not ignoring anyone, just not around, visiting family.

    Jesa, nice to see you posting again, well done on your moneymaking :) fab stuff. Keep smiling hun x
