I know she's great! But then I did let her stay at my house last night when I wasn't there so when she offered to clean the kitchen it may have been due to her making a mess?? Lol either way she is my bestie xxx

Afternoon ladies (and Karb;))
Joining in a bit late again here...I did read this morning but was in a rush to get out so didn't post my list.
Another gorgeous day here...sadly no washing to go out, wish I'd put my bedding in this morning, but bit late now.

I nipped out this morning to the shops - bought me some work trousers (most of my old ones are too big...one good thing about having Crohns, cant keep weight on:rotfl:) - so went for the £20 ones I saw in Next not long ago - bargain:). Also got some day and night creams in Boots on 3 for 2. In Asda I did a small shop (£29 and sneaked in a nice stripey spring top for £10...oops:o)

Been to the Uni library too...lots of reading for me now:D

Ok, here's the list:

• check banking
• meal from plan tonight - chicken, salami, pepper risotto...yum - just for me, girls having roast at the out-laws;)
• rubbish/recycling out for the morning
• heating off
• clean bedding on girls' beds
• hoover through quickly
• make tomorrow's packed lunches
• forgot to pay uni library fees...oops, but saved me a couple of quid for now;)
• check ebay for new bag for dd2 for school
• clean washing to put away

Ok, that'll do me for now - enjoy what's left of the weekend:A

Hi all, thanks to pixiechick for remembering me

A NSD for me today, as I'm not intending to leave the house.

DW went to the warehouse this morning to get stock for her stall, but her parents were goung to town so gave her a lift. Saved me the petrol.

I took the opportunity to do some jobs in the garden while it was nice.

Weeded the gardens, got out all of the moss from between the paving slabs, and patched up the front fence, which DS had wrecked while playing football. It really needs a new fence, but my patchwork will do for the time being.

Dinner was a £2.99 chicken from Aldi, some 1p Tesco stuffing, plus a load of veg that needed using up. The whole thing probably cost around a fiver to feed 6 of us. Very tasty it was too. I say its because I cooked

Other DFW things today:
Checked online banking
Laundry is drying on the line, no heating needed today.
Showered using toiletries I brought home from last week's hotel stay (hotel was paid for by work)

Hope you've all had a good weekend

Hi all

Just a quick update:

- glorious afternoon at allotment with picnic. Great in the sunshine. Friend popped by with his kids and helped us! Very nice. We then went down the park for a sundowner..well coffee for me and HM beers for the boys! All very nice.

- booked our camp site..opted for Forest Hols so no excuse not to get on the bikes and generally be outdoorsy this easter. Was £110 but for 4 nights for 4 of us could be worse

- got a few bits at the corner shop.. Cheapie frozen peas and crushed garlic and ginger which seemed very good value. Saves us from the supermarket for another few days so grand total spend today was £4.27
for groceries and £110 for campsite. Pretty restrained I guess on the household stuff this weekend. No doubt the weather makes a difference. Sunshine always makes me more inclined to laze about and not spend.

Have a good eve all.

Bit bummed out today for some reason but as well as starting loft project have tidied out my jewellry which makes life a lot easier.

Sadly my central heating seems to have give up the ghost so we now have extra jumpers on and i will try and find a plumber tommorow. The boiler is 25 years old so i suspect I need to start looking for a new one
