    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.... :o 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! :D Woop! This sounds silly, but I eat chocolate most days, and i don't need it, AT ALL. I just need to remember that :o

    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 :p

    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 :p We also need to have a bit of a tidy up and hoover, but nothing else planned for today. A nice lazy Saturday :D

    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! :D

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