    Afternoon:D
    £35.10 on Onepoll...slow but sure;)

    Not much else to report - not spent much this week, a few NSDs and grocery account is back to the full £250. Just spent £4-odd today on 4 packs of mini cheddars and a loaf. I need to do a meal plan now and shopping list ready for tomorrow. i am seeing my tutor at 1.30 and need to nip to Arg0s for lightbulbs as well as T's for food.

    My lovely friend is coming on Sat lunchtime for some shopping then a night out. Girls are going to their friend's, ex is busy. DD2 had her brace fitted yesterday and though she's pleased with it, it is hurting her - aching teeth:o So she's going to stay here while my friend and i in town then go to her friend's.

    I enjoyed the walk home from school today - roll on Spring, this weather makes such a difference:T

    You're getting there on OnePoll. I'm still on £11 something...

    I bet you're looking forward to the weekend. Has your tummy settled down now?
    It's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :j

    It's better thank you yes - I'm sure it's dairy that does it:o It's not perfect but less grumbly than before.

    I am looking forward to my weekend thanks - but dd2 is off school not welll today, she's in my bed boiling hot with a sore throat. DD1 had the same earlier in the week...hopefully it won't last long as she's staying with my friend tomorrow night, not her dad. I'd be happier if she was at his if she's not 100%, but he's got something on.

    Off to work til 12, then T's - and meant to nip to college to see my tutor, will see how dd is, and if I can be bothered;)

    Well ex is now not going to go out so they can stay there - I'm much happier with that:D I can drop them there in the afternoon, they'll have a nice evening and get a roast the next day;)

    I need to go to T's soon...really can't be bothered, but there won't be another chance to go this weekend and we do need stuff today. Shouldn't be a huge shop, my list isn't massive. Mind you, I say that all the time and then £50 later.....:eek:

    DD is feeling a bit better, she slept while I was out. So hopefully that'll be the worst bit over. The brace is still a bit achy so she's not eating much - that and a sore throat can't be nice.

    Good afternoon from a rather delicate and very weary me:o:o

    Had a great night though with my friend...lots of wine/vodka...hence the state today;) But, it was one of those times when no matter how much I drank I didn't feel it even though I'm paying for it now! My problem is I wake up really early after drinking - 7am this morning:eek: Not great considering we went to bed at 3am:D I do feel ok now actually, just tired...the dodgy head has gone.

    Yesterday was a lovely afternoon in town too - we have a fab lunch of chicken wraps with salad and fries and a glass of wine. I bought a 2 tops and a cardi in H+M but I don't like the tops on so they're going back. I'll keep the cardi I think as it was only £7.99. My friend's mum had given money that paid for our lunch which was lovely. I spent £40 in the evening which was good considering we got a taxi in and back..£15 and £17...eeek:eek:

    So, not a very spendy weekend in the end - esp once I get the money back at H+M...I spent £35 and will get £23 back...I bought a £4 vest too which I'll keep.

    As girls were at the ex-mils they got a roast dinner so no cooking for me, thank goodness, I couldnt cope:rotfl: I have some cottage pie from the freezer to shove in the oven....a good hearty meal to sort me out:)

    Sounds like you had a nice time, and even better seeing as you didn't spend too much. I can never sleep after a heavy night. i think it's all the worry about how carp I'll feel in the morning :o Definitely can't manage hangovers these days.
