    thanks Uni, i'll have to have a look at it, going into town tomorrow for knitting circle so will have a walk around Asda afterwards. Must remember to get some keys cut for the builder as well because he's starting the bathroom next week :)

    Your hard work and positivity pours out of you - even if you don't realise it - you're a shoulders back, get on with it kinda girl.

    Good you've got through to the next stage with your journey - you're right about not recognising your life - look at how far you've come already!

    Purple bedding sounds interesting - can you dye something you've already got or is that a bit too frugal?

    If you're worried about scoffing too much chewy stuff good that you've recognised it and gone back to liquid for a bit - you'll come good.

    Yay to bathrooms being done soon! xxxxx

    thanks ladies for popping by whilst i've been mia.

    been spending too much time playing online games, too much time at work and spending too much money on the house. but we are progressing with the bathroom even if it doesn't feel like it as it's just a bare shell with some holes chased into the walls. At least we bought the tiles over the weekend.

    I'm not going to worry too much about purple bedding, i've got some perfectly good green bedding which barely got used before i swapped up the size of our duvet so that will work just fine. for the amount of visitors we're likely to have it seems silly to go out and get new stuff.

    not really doing much out of the ordinary with the money savings stuff, still paying back Mavis at a slightly increased rate, hoping i can make a 'small' overpayment on the mortgage this month when we reach payday and i can see what position we're in.

    talking about payday that's at the end of the week! yay! can't come soon enough if you ask me!

    hope all is well with my friends on here.
