Great news on the house Kel :T
Determined - on freezing hob nobs, I layer them in greasproof and then put them in plastic bags so they don't stick together, in theory I can then get them out individually :rotfl:like that ever happens!!! I do then just keep the paper in side the bag in the drawer and reuse for the next batch - if they make it that far
List for today:
Chase up AWOL breakfast bar leg - done, arriving friday
Big jumper on at home whilst I'm working instead of heating -done
Meals from planner and stores - done
E-mail seller from play who I bought a DVD off, had 100% feedback when I did, DVD not arrived, went on to e-mail them, he's had a whole load of negative feedback in the last week meaning they're now at 35% :mad: Anyone know if I can claim my money back ?
Move some money around in the bank and update my spreadheet, see if I can make a PAD to my CC - done, small pad
Update my christmas present spreadsheet - done
Cancel milk for tomorrow, will buy cheaper at supermarket -done
