I was good today and didn't buy chocolate when I went to get some milk.
I cooked up some Bramley apples and will put portions in the freezer for desserts.
I had a nap this afternoon! I rarely sleep during the day, so it's just more evidence of how exhausted I am at the moment.
I'll be shortly turning in for an early night!Borrowed £150,000 in an offset tracker mortgage in May 2007 - MFD May 2041 (67)

- DH has been suffering with a hangover from the stag all day and is doing my head in :mad:...on the positive side managed to distract him off the notion of a KFC and he managed to come home with quite a bit of money last night which has swiftly been removed from his pockets and is now safe and secure in my purse
- Sandwich fillings made for lunches during the week
- All clothes have been washed on a 30 degree quick wash and have come out nice and clean and are now drying on the clothes horse

MF activities for the weekend.
NSD on both days!- party on sat with wine already in and pressies already bought, then chilling yesterday.
Dinner/lunches out of what we already had in - managed to do 6 portions of chilli/spag bol, a cake and some sandwich fillings all out of stuff that needed to be used asap so felt very virtuous not heading out to the shops!. now just to survive the next 12 days till payday!
decluttered and found a dvd box set and old mobile that might make a few pennies
not really MF but applied for 0% credit card (for a year) in case bathroom/hols throw up any extras that need a few more paydays to pay off! will only use in emergency!
Aiming for a NSD week should have enough lunches and dinners in and dont "need" anything else!0 -

Not much today (but it is early).
I have sold one of my DVD bundles on ebay as a BIN, should make around £12.50 profit on it after postage and fees. It's not my money as I said the boys could keep the money from their DVD's. Kind, aren't I?0 -
