    Very achey leg today - so much so I'm starting to limp a little and I'm hoping it eases off a bit tomorrow and its just the physio unpacking all the compact muscle thats causing this

    Time to update the budgets as nearly at the end of March

    March GC £86.79/£140 coming in £53.21 under
    March AFD going well and looks like it will be 29/31 AFDs
    Crazy Clothes Challenge has £5 added to the spends and stands at £68.75/£250 leaving £20 per month budget left

    Loose change pots still on the go for £2, 50p and 20p - £2 stands at £58
    £1 in the tin when use up on of the beauty stash products - £18
    SPC currently £60 as planned and next contribution is £20 for April next month
    £365 in 365 days still on target and next contribution is £30 for April next month

    Then its back to CC payments again

    All going well and fingers crossed the muscles loosen up soon in my leg!

    Hello,

    sorry to hear about your leg problems, just give yourself plenty of time to heal please. I know you're an activity whirlwind usually ;).

    Good news on the savings pots, I had to sneak a peek in mine & surprisingly it actually has helped me to want to keep going with it ( after a wobble).

    You're getting far more adventurous with your clothes too which is really inspiring me :T

    Thanks Lula - true, trying to wear some of the clothes I own at the moment for a change instead of the same old ones over and over.

    Todays things to do
    Clean bathroom
    Make up flavoured coffee
    Wash dog
    Bake cake or scones
    Find out where training is
    Plant seeds and plants
    Sweep up and tidy up bit of garden
    HHI
    Mother's day present and card

    Think thats enough for now - back later on

    Afternoon missus

    'flavoured coffee' is a mixture of cocoa powder, instant coffee and whitener to make up coffee mocha for a friend who liked it. I made up some jars for Christmas to put in food hampers

    Just off to make it up now and get going on the list

    Ok didn't do that much today but it was good to have a quiet day especially as my leg aches if I do my normal amount of activities so took it easy today

    Found a cake and dessert to bake for mother's day lunch next weekend and shopping list written for next weekend

    Popped to the shop for a few bits and picked up some big picture frames for mum's present and my new pictures on my wall. All looking good in the frames now and mum's is wrapped up ready to go

    Planted some more seeds - flowers today - sweet pea, nasturstians, lobelia and petunias. Salad leaves coming along nicely now

    Just need to sort a card out for mum now for next weekend then all ready

    Plan to clean a room a night as per flylady to free up next weekend as it was good this weekend not to spend it cleaning as usual

    Sooooooooo then what else?

    not much really apart from making a card and oh yes how could I forget? Better crack on with the reading for my assignment and exam, nearly forgot for a moment I had something to do!

    Picked up 5 grow bags today, now read back over the thread and realised it made sense to buy another 16 + 4 = 20 (total 25) which might be enough for now and would come in at £33 ish

    Also picked up 3 massive bags of sprouting seed potatoes for £1.74 x 2 - 48p and one more for £1.74 to split between me and a friend total £4.74 instead of full price of £9.48 as they are all half price and if you buy 2 it takes off 48p. Previous offer was buy 2 bags for £6 and this takes it down to 2 for £3 instead

    Really must stay out of there and stop buying the poorly plants so much this year - I know I can't especially the lettuce that they sell off at 20p a pack and can by nursed back to health and then eaten!

    Good luck with the gym dizzy - I hope it goes well for you

    I've just had my 2nd session of physio which was super painful - ouch! Also have some orthotic insoles too to try out in my shoes to support my foot when running and walking.
