Evening everyone
Just wanted to say that I probably won't be on here much for the rest of the month as sadly my Dad passed away last night. He had been very ill in hospital but it has still come as a huge shock. I'm determined to keep a rough eye on what is being spent but to be honest I'm really not bothered if we spend too much this month. I hope you all keep on track with your NSD's and your budgets and remember
We don't fail, we look, we learn and we move on

No, what bit do they do? the £1200 shopping with loads of cheese or the going into a magic world through a tree? :rotfl::rotfl:
PennyGrabber, yeah, I also heard that. I always have carrots and peas from frozen.
Anyone has any ideas for desserts with 4 kiwis?
They LOVE cheese!!!! But they took a rocket to the moon not a trip through cyberspace(now thinking cybermen and Dr Who oh dear):rotfl::rotfl:
