  • Hi Pennywise + HWG !hellowave.gif Thanks for your support girls

    Penny - no limit for my wee fund - just as much as possible as a security blanket until I'm back earning decent pennies again! All of it will hopefully end up in the pocket of Mr Halifax Bank of Scotland sigh.gif


    Well I've been quite good today on the eating front again! Here's the menu

    Brekkie - Bowl of dry sugarpuffs + coffee
    Lunch - Chicken sandwich, half a bowl of veggie soup (before I decided it was yuck!) + small glass of coke
    Dinner - Battered Haddock portion, handful of chips, spoonful of veg + small glass of coke
    Snacks = NONE!

    Not too shabby I recon haphapbyaurorabahuki.gif

    Money - I traded in £5 worth of Mr T's clubcard vouchers for £20 voucher for Bella Italia. Either next Wednesday or the following OH and I are going out! We will use this voucher plus Orange 2 for 1 at the cinema to see Harry Potter! Should good be a nice wee night of quality time - we havn't been alone since DS was born 5 months ago. hugoups.gif

    shopping has clocked in at £239.76 - so a teeny 24p to transfer to the scared fund scared3.gif.

    Toy Story 3 DVD was delivered today - pre ordered it from Tesco ages ago and forgot all about it until the £9 odds came off my account earlier in the month. I have hid it for Santa Clause
