    Not a fun week so far, I managed to get through the snow to work but missed my shopping day with best friend as all her kids schools were shut - not fair, it should be the other way round! :rotfl:

    It's use the credit card again day today :T just filled up the car £65.20 spent. Bought some Easter eggs on offer in Tesco last night and have so far eaten two :eek: I shall get dh to take he rest to work for safe keeping - very bad as I have been really good all week on the diet up until now :(

    Ds2 is out for the 2nd night in a row, this time a gig in north London, he needed picking up last night as would you believe it was really cold when he got off the train :D it might have to be dh's job as I am kicking off the birthday celebrations with some prosecco tonight :beer:

    I'm with Vix. Creme eggs are (or at least the old style used to be) delicious. :D

    Well done on the February figures, good luck on MFP.

    Thanks cookie, mine are in the log cabin and I'm too lazy to go out in the cold :D

    I had a nice birthday yesterday, a pub lunch with my parents, dh and all of the kids which is a rare thing, followed by a curry in the evening.

    Off out again today, shopping centre trip as pandora are doing free earrings over a certain spend so I'm getting dds Disney stuff for her 21st , I've been hanging on for a free gift and googling when they happen for months now :money:

    That’s why I’m not planning to stock up on Easter eggs, it would be far too much temptation.

    Happy birthday for yesterday :beer:
