    You guys are amazing, had my first tears this morning, not at the situation, but at the amount of support i've had.
    When i first joined in with the challenge i knew it would sort out my spending, but i never realised i would meet the most amazing supportive bunch of people that i am proud to think of as friends now! :A

    See you all later!!

    Caught one! :j

    So up to 6/12... do I have enough days left to make the target? Yes, 8 more days of march left so I should get there!

    Today is already spendy, bought my Mum the Michael Jackson Wii game for her birthday, and apart from train tickets I think I only need to get a birthday and mothers day card, and a socket set for mothers' day (if it's what she wants, who am I to argue?!). Although... I could maybe get the socket set in April, on the 1st or 2nd. It's not as if the price of them will be hiked up for mothers' day now is it!? :rotfl:

    (((((Hugs))))) winging their way to you BDINI, you're right, there's a great bunch of folk here on MSE (and a few particular threads, including this one :happyhear ).

    Thanks for all the kind wishes everyone...it is really appreciated.

    My eye isn't too bad atm, but it usually gets progressively worse through the day. Sunlight aggravates it, so I will have to keep the sunglasses on if I head out into the garden...my one day at home this week, so taking things easy (well, a bit!). :j

    Going to have a special delivery sometime today...a new TV!!! DH has obviously been thinking about it for ages, but only suggested it at the weekend. So I spent ages trying to source the best deal for one. Up 'til now, the most we have ever spent on a tv has been £80! We are now smashing this limit, but won't be paying for 6 months (0% deal on Mr T card
    ;))...well, we might pay a bit off each month to whittle it down a bit. Also used loads of Mr T vouchers, which also brought it down. Can't believe we wil be getting a tv that will be easier to watch - 32", and we will be able to watch iPl@yer on it too (DS wants to watch Y@uT@be!!). It may be wider, but being thinner, will mean it'll take up much less space than the present humungous one with a tiny screen :D We've had a few problems since we moved the furniture in the sitting room, the room is great, just watching tv isn't!

    Now off to get the bread started...late again
