    :T Well done!

    We completed our 7th yesterday and aiming for another today. (I actually replied to this last night but suspect I previewed and forgot to submit :doh:)

    Editing to add: Actually I just realised that I had to rush off and update my signature with the new NSD and that's why I forgot to hit submit. Airhead, sometimes, really.

    NSD today is a bust. Friend's bday on friday and she asked for a MAC make-up brush cleaner: £9.50

    I feel like a failure

    Don't beat yourself up, sometimes its just so hard to do them. I thought I was going to manage a couple this week but so far I've had no luck.

    today bought DS & DDIL2B a blender/smoothie maker so they can make healthy soups and smoothies. Got it half price at £20 instead of £40 and put my foot down when originally they wanted red one instead of pink as that was £3 more. Then paid for some veg for them and had to put another £10 petrol in my car after all the running around I've done since Monday. Never mind, he's home and is worth much more than that.

    Yes, weather is crazy, picked DGD1 up from school and she put her sun glasses on because it was so sunny. By the time we drove the 10 miles to my office we needed umbrellas instead.

    Hi Granny

    Thanks for stopping by! I will try not to be so hard on myself.

    I have done some other Money Saving to try to offset. I have hung all the clothes up inside no tuble dryer. Dinner again from freezer and pantry.

    Couldn't mow the lawn as too wet but gosh does it need it.

    Oversnacked on peanut butter, but not to the point of making myself ill.

    Helped Mom with some ebay stuff.

    Working until 10, and then collapse!
