Hi LT!!
You can't beat thick soup for that lovely warming you from the inside out feeling! I made some potato and leek soup, but made it with only half the water recommended so it would take up a small space in the freezer. Whilst I was away house-sitting, OH de-frosted some for dinner one night; I told him add about the same volume again in water.... but he didn't. Cue one very concentrated bowl of soup!! Ooops!start = Wed 19th Nov 2008 £21,225
end = Mon 28th Sept 2015 DEBT FREE!
I love a good plan - it may not work.... but I love a good plan!0 -
lol to OH's being silly with soup. Anything with potato is a no no in the LT household.0

what has everyone got planned for the weekend?
mine is starting well as we're watching The Sound of Music, and it wasn't me who put it on
i called Scalifax today about some childrens savings accounts but as she didn't really tell me what i wanted to hear i may just go to the bank tomorrow and get the full information, maybe they'll say something different
going to a concert on sunday, my nephew is in an orchestra and they're playing their last concert for this season/year. They've just been on tour, not bad for a youff orchestra lol. My dad is planning on coming this time, so we're hoping he's got the energy to do that, my nephew is desparate for his grandad to come and see him which i can understand as my dads health isn't very good so there's not that many opportunities when he's fit enough to attend.0 -

can't remember spending anything this weekend
didn't go out on saturday and only when to see my nephew's performance yesterday which was already paid for so no additional money there. He did very well, as did all the youth orchestra's.
have left Mr LT a shopping list and some money for today so i'm hoping he gets the hint, if not we'll just go tonight and hopefully snaffle some more yellow stickered bargains.
not much else to report in the LT world at the moment. Just waiting for my CC statement to be drawn up, the date seems to be a moving feast so i never know exactly when its going to be. Going to put some petrol on it either today /tomorrow to get the balance to £300 so that i get my fiver free 0 -
looks like i've been missed0
