    Hello to All at FCC and much thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow! In again this week! Shoes shined, pe kits packed, uniform laided out, ironing done, goodies baked for lunch boxes. Debating a glass of wine or clean the kitchen floor? Shouts "Pigpen is it kitchen tomorrow?"

    I have made a good start for the week. I have laid out clothes on the spare bed for the next 4 days. Each week we buy rolls for lunch, freeze them and take them out the night before to make up. We have gone one step further and have made the rolls up before freezing them, now all I need to do is take them out to defrost in time for lunch. OH is a star and is going to get up with me the next few mornings to make my breakfast and a flask of tea to take to work.

    Spending Diary volunteers

    Now I am not setting up a rival list – this is just a reminder for those of us who put our heads above the parapet last week

    However, since I know I am not the only one with a ‘stationery habit’ :o I am setting us all a challenge.
    Before you go out and buy a shiny new notebook for this shiny new project see if you already have something you can use
    An old notebook which still has blank pages
    Does your handbag diary have ‘notes’ pages
    A few sheets of scrap paper stapled together


    Count me in please crafty :D I'll use my diary to record any spends this week if that's ok?

    toots you will be pleased to know that we have had dinner, I couldn't very well stop listing ebay stuff while we had pics still to upload now could I? :p

    We have 18 things listed and Dad has 4 :rotfl: Mum is doing her nut as she wants MORE listed! She doesn't want to list herself but wants Dad to up the ante as there are jobs that have been on the list for 'years' poor bloke! I can see I am going to have to liberate more used jiffy bags from work if we both keep listing stuff!!!
