    Just wanted to add sympathy stitchy

    This weekend I:
    * ate storecupboard food and baked some part baked rolls that were best before christmas - we will be eating these quite a bit as there are 14 to go!
    * drove home with "new" 2nd hand car at 60 not 70 as I was not in a rush, so conserved some fuel I hope
    * checked petrol prices website before filling tank with fuel
    * got 2 christmas gifts and selection of reduced veggies from Mr T so have meals planned for next 3 evenings :D
    * done my RM survey data entry
    * not been to town and spent money
    * got some new library books and had a read instead!
    * entered MOT and tax dates for new car onto calendar
    * entered date for end of "deal" on gas and elec so I know when I can shop around and switch again
    * paid cashback CC bill in full (just on time!)
