    Benben, thanks for the tip on M&S meals that have WW points, that has been a real help this week.
  • Good luck!

    Ooooh, that actually looks really impressive GQ, thankyou :T :T
    Pleased the ww M&S meals are helping Tootallulah, any loss this week?

    Today has been a funny day, we had a massive power cut this morning and nearly all got sent home from school (pitch black and no heating), but then it came back on so we had to stay :(:( After that though the kids were all pretty hyper and not in the mood for lessons for the rest of the day :)

    I've just done a survey that has taken me to within £1 of a £50 payout, so will be checking my inbox daily for one to take me to that level, hopefully that will be a nice chunk towards next months target :D

    Nothing much else to report, a nsd so far but we need to get some milk and bits so it won't last. Hoping for a fairly lazy night tonight, we have an inset day tomorrow so a bit more relaxed than usual ;)

    Chips were £1.50, milk etc was £2.30. Baths done, a nice chat with ds, finished reading Danny Champion of the World together and now he's safely delivered to the land of nod :D:D

    Evening all, aah another weekend is here :j This evening I seem to have found the cleaning bug and have been tidying and pottering and getting bits done :D

    Spends today = £9 in co-op, really really can't wait to get a proper weekly shop done this weekend and stop this daily trip to the shops lark :o

    This weekend we have several little indoor jobs to get done, ds homework, a thankyou letter to write, birthday drinks tomorrow night for a friend and food shopping too. Think thats about it at the moment.

    Oh, and sorting the end of month banking and checking the budget for next month :)

    Morning all, just spent £19 on a family and friends railcard for the year, ds keeps on and on asking if we can go on trains so I figured it will be recouped quite quickly ;)

    So the flat is relatively tidy, a few bits and pieces still to be done. A fairly quiet day, its so cold out I don't want to venture far. My scales at home said 11 st 7 this morning :j I know the official weigh-in won't be like that, (later in the day and fully clothed ;)) but its a boost nonetheless :)

    Just chased the csa again ... he still hasn't sent in any payslips, they have contacted his empoyer but haven't had a reply yet (they have until feb 7th to reply but he no longer works there now anyway) ... so I won't be getting any money in February either, which will make it 5 months since he contributed a penny towards ds, may possibly get some in March ... WASTE OF SPACE :mad: :mad: :mad:
