SF's keeping on the straight and narrow!

Hi SF,

Just caught up on your diary, pretty inspiring. Glad you had a break at half term, Feb is definitely time for space from the classroom.

Don't forget that a little chocolate is actually good for you!

Thanks for taking the time to read and post! I love chocolate, but can't just have a little bit.... I think it's best if I just avoid it!

Hya SF, glad you had a great half-term. You did well to even find £150 to put into savings, and as you said, you've both had car insurance and a holiday break, so pretty good I'd say! :T

Good luck with your first week back. :heart2:

Thanks keiss sometimes it's hard to see when you're doing well!

Well, first of a new month! I love the start of a new month, it's time to start new and fresh. This month will see my first school production finished and shown to proud parents Hopefully we'll have sorted out more wedding stuff - including a date on which I am going to try on my first wedding dress!

I've also made it through the first day without chocolate! Woop! This sounds silly, but I eat chocolate most days, and i don't need it, AT ALL. I just need to remember that

First NSD also in the pot

....dreading getting our next electricty bill as we've had the heating on high for ages - our house is just so cold there are drafts and there's laminate flooring, and because it's not our house, we're only renting, we can't change it!....

Hi Pet; sorry it's a bit late but still over with me muvva so getting on here is sporadic at best

Check out the 'Preparing For Winter' threads for LOADS of tips on what you can do to help keep the cold out & the fuel bills down EVEN when you're renting. It's little things like stuffing a leg of your old tights with tightly rolled newspapers to make a draught excluder, or pinning [nappy pins if you can find them but safety ones just as good, then easy to remove when needed] a cheap fleece to the hems of existing curtains as liners.

Thanks BMF - I'll have a look over there

Been on a course the last two days, so brain is well and truly over-loaded tonight. Will update properly tomorrow x

Had a lovely sleep last night so feeling much better today

We need to get some more food in today, but might send OH as I can't be bothered We also need to have a bit of a tidy up and hoover, but nothing else planned for today. A nice lazy Saturday

Got The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo to watch tonight on DVD, which I'm looking forward to - I've just read the book so I'm hoping the film will be good! We're also having HM chicken curry with rice and naan which should be yummy.

I love weekends!

I also haven't had chocolate yet so far - even turned down a free brownie yesterday! :eek: That is practically unheard of....
