    Thats exactly how I feel!! I've filled more note books and backs of envelopes with random scribbles and figures, DH worries if he sits still for too long I'll start scribbling on him :rotfl:

    Happy April!! Can't help but wonder what this month will bring, seeing as March was so full of madcap ideas, falling in love with houses and finding daydreams to chase!

    Plans for April so far are:-

    1. Be a better budgetter and halve food budget (£40 to £20);
    2. Sell everything that isn't nailed down to clear HFC (balance of approx £400, interest at something like 23%);
    3. Maximise earned income (say yes to all overtime and any additional potential earners);
    4. Remember that yesterday was DH's last payday until 15th May :eek:;
    5. Think of free/very cheap things to keep DS amused during school holiday.

    Oh April is going to be really fun.....:cool:

    Moose it is then :D we like chocolate :rotfl:

    I'm ok I think - similar to you, trying to find effort! Know I've got to go chip frying in about 20 mins but really not up for it today, I've just got the pong out of my hair!

    DH has said he want's to take me out for dinner tonight bless him - told him we might be able to stretch to a Happy Meal each :rotfl:
