You're garden is going to look glorious this summer - I hope that you'll post pictures for us to see.

Grocery challenge - course you can do it!!!

Thanks for the encouragement - Yes I will do it! I know what works - leave my purse at home then I won't spend at lunchtime and can also geta NSD too!

Changed my mind about going walking today and had a little lie in, decided to do a bit of gardening instead, finish off the cleaning, do the HHI then do some dreaded studying this afternoon. Will go on Good Friday instead and then can drop of the family's Easter Eggs instead (ordered yesterday the half price Continental Eggs with iced name £4.99 instead of £9.99, hoping they arrive in time now)

QVC dress refund arrived by email this morning another £18 arrived back in a/c so all done there. I did order a couple more dresses for summer so will see if these are any good or if they need to go back. Keep fancying a new dress or 2 for the nice weather plus they are nice and easy to wear with a pair of birkis

Right I'm up and breakfasted and looking forward to a glorious day ahead and the sky in blue and clear it's time to make a start!

All flying done now apart from ironing which is next on the list

More seeds planted - cabbage, lettuce, nasturtians, sweet peas and a check on everything else all seems ok out there! Need some more seed trays next weekend for some more planting!

All washing is drying on the line ready to bring in later on

Think I'll do a clothes swapover next weekend and get some summer stuff out and chuck, charity etc while I'm off work

Aiming for a NSD today and looks like I'll get one - 7

Puter's getting switched off shortly before I spend all afternoon on here!

Just had a little look for a few camping items for my holiday

Stove £9.99 +/£44.99
Pans £15.99
Water carrier £9.99
Kettle £10.79
Gas - no price yet
Powered cool box £41.99/ £49.99

Total 1 £96.75 (cool box + 1 x £9.99 burner)
Total 2 £56.75 (2 x £9.99 burners and no coolbox)
Total 3 £141.74 (coolbox, both stoves)

Just need to decide on a combination now and which one is a) most useful and b) best price for what it is

Yummy tea of potato boulangere and sausage casserole recipe from the GC thread - enough for another 2 meals this week which is good although a little samey!

It WAS a NSD afterall - which is also great coming in a No 7 - I'm aiming for more Mon/Tues and Wed and maybe even Thurs too - who knows? I think 4 in a row is a good aim for this week

Plus I'm getting a bit sick and tired of all my snacking so next week is going to be no chocolate snacking for Mon-Wed to aim for a start and I plan on finally getting out on a trial run on my bike on one of these days too

Looking forward the next week as last day on Thurs before a week and a half off and although lots of study to do it'll be great not to be at work!
