Shopping done got everything in Tesco so used some vouchers too. We seem to have two Club Card Accounts so get two letters quite handy sometimes. A bit of shame they are cutting down on the amount of Airmiles you can earn now. I was getting 80 now its only 60 so might exchange some vouchers before its too late. Would like a free flight for Christmas that would be handy.
Need to make some Ryebread and cook dinner for tonight another Danish one for my friend who is coming around tonight but not staying for lunch tomorrow so no need to extend the table. Phew.
Sorted the garden out the grass was soo long but it looks ok now. Got two pots with mini sunflowers they are really pretty will get some more of those next year so easy to grow too in pots.
Got a MS but cannot fit it in this weekend so will have to do it during the week but its quite a way away which a pain. MS last night meant we could go to IKEA but there was no a lot I wanted in the foodhall and did not dare ask DH to venture further in.
DH is now asking me if I have done the bread and tidied the 2nd bedroom ready for my friend so really need to get on with it. Catch up laterSave £12k in 25 No 49

No hotdogs are not that healthy but only 95p normally I really like them but the one I had last night was really not that good think its because I have just had the real thing in Denmark.
I love Swedish Meatballs too but find the ones in Sainsbury just as good as IKEA's and I think they are cheaper.
Still not done the ryebread but have Skyped with my mother, played Farmville and tidied the room.
TPA well done on the no drinking, I have had 3 glasses this week quite good for me.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Time for an update, Danish lunch went really well 7 of us and food worked fine. Ended up sitting outside with the fire on until 9pm so a long but good day. That is definitely the last of my 40th birthday celebrations now.
Boys are having their snip today so had to be kept in last night and no food. They did not like that one bit. Right now Jack is lying in my arms as I type purring away. He looks quite happy but does not know what awaits him when we leave in 30 min.
Got a MS quite far away tonight for dinner and DH does not want to go so have texted friend asking her but we shall see. If she says no I might be a bit stuck as I cannot go on my own really.
Got on the scales yesterday have not lost anything and I felt I had been good. Mind you I did have a few beers on Sunday night maybe that did it also only managed 2 times in the gym. Lets hope this week is better.
Any for my inspiration I had a look at the Danish estate agents this one has just come on the market same road only 1.195.000kroner thats £130,000 not too bad.

Please dont make me feel more guilty than I am, so empty without the boys here. Thomas cried all the way there but Jack was good as gold.
Got my friend to come with me to the MS tonight so DH does not have to come. Should now be a nice evening even if it is 1 hour drive each way which is a bit mad to be honest.Save £12k in 25 No 49
