    The end of this week cannot come soon enough for me.

    Everyone is fed up at work and the boss just seems to be punishing us for have a holiday (which is a set holiday that we are not allowed to change!)

    Got to pop to BandQ on the way home and get the tacks for pinning down the weed matting for up the allotment (I am allowed to do this!) Our plan is to spread out some of the removed horsetail onto the weeded area and then cover with the matting. When you have piles of it dotted around the allotment, the horsetail doesn't grow up underneath it - so, its worth a go!

    Tonight's tea will be fish - not sure whether to do a med style fish pie (with sliced potatoes on the top) or Tagine Style Fish with cous cous. I will ask DH when I get home what he fancies.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Well done MCI!
    Thanks guys! Didn't know whether to apply for it or not seeing as we are saving to get another mortgage. But mortgage free for the time being is still a great feeling.

    What do you have to do to apply for it??

    Hi Lois:)Nice to see you - how you doing?

    You fill in an entry on the Mortgage Free Roll of Honour thread and then one of the lovely MSE people come along a couple of weeks later and give you a badge!

    I wasn't sure whether to do it as although I'm mortgage free (and have been for some time) my aim is to get another mortgage in the short term.

    The countdown to Friday continues...

    Two huge courgettes off the allotment yesterday - my friend who is looking after the allotment for me brought them to me.

    Persuaded DH to go up there tonight and dig over the onion patch.

    £co claim put in for the feliway.

    More 50ps into Penguin.

    Getting paid this week instead of next week, means next month will be the five weeker, but at least it means I can get my big shop sorted.

    Was bad last night and went out for tea - spent my football winnings, but back on the straight and narrow tonight and I am going to do that Med-Style Fish Pie with HG Broccoli and HG Purple Dwarf Beans.

    It must be a good year for courgettes - ours are growing like mad too I've never eaten so many courgettes in my life.

    We have a five week month too, it'll be an interesting challenge to see how far the budget will stretch:)

    Chops were not too bad - wasn't that hungry by the time we ate :(

    Today is just as busy at work.

    Just eaten a massive Chicken Salad - was lovely.

    Have been paid today, so will be shuffling and updating shortly.

    I will count those pesky 50ps next week.

    Not sure what we are doing for tea DH wanted to go to the cinema tonight, but he didn't mention it this morning - will just have to see.

    Hope everyone is well and looking forward to the weekend.

    PS £373 added to the house fund this month - should meet my target next month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on to the next:).
