    ^ I'm glad I was still up faffing around with Ocado orders and internet cashback deals - got my free Ebay purchase, wanted a scoop for the kitchen but didn't want to pay out so this was perfect as totally free. Was a bit of a panic buy though in case the deal ran out so I forgot TCB! Sure I will think of something more necessary now..

    dasophster, hope you managed to keep your dinner in!
    Lipstick, yes though tempted to go and look for my gloves early morning, still annoyed!! Bet someone had picked them up though.

    Morning all.

    dasophster - hope all are feeling better.

    ms_night_ryder - I saw that last night and was too tired to look, so just bought some packs of ink for us and my son - saves him some pennies and I use lots on couponing - just need some cheap paper now!! Still got approx 700 sheets, but panic when opening last packet. I knew that ebay offer wouldn't last long, there'll be plenty of arguments going on today. lol

    kirri - I'll search for that later, need to go for Dr's appointment this morning and may try the M&S Outlet again - still got that £15 itching to be spent.

    Toasted hot cross bun and coffee and then out.

    small spend in asda yesterday of £4.70 for OH's dinner/lunch. Pretty pleased with that really.

    Hoping for a NSD today and well for the rest of the week really!! Will do a quick lidl/sainsbobs shop for offers on the weekend, but we're really stocked up right now! Need to meal plan so we stick to what we've got in the house.

    Might do the dreaded and try on clothes i've push to the back of the wardrobe this weekend, lost nearly 10lbs so hopefully some will start fitting again!!

    will check in later guys!

    Morning all.

    Been trying to plan details of my trip and work out how much cash I'll need for meals etc. Unsure when to have a main meal for lunch or dinner on which days. Hoping £300 will be enough for meals, snacks and gifts. Also would like to have a more expensive main meal while out, something I'd enjoy more instead of pizza and crap, with it being Mother's day while I'm away, but depends if I can afford it.

    Will take some snacks will me. Could do with a travel kettle, might end up taking my kitchen one if I've enough room lol. Thought I had an old plastic one in the shed but think I dumped it. :mad:

    Bramble - hope the clothes fit, without breathing in too hard. :D

    dasophster - hope you all recover quickly.
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    Passed my MOT............just, good job it wasn't the Vet checking me over!!!
    Cars MOT tomorrow, hope to God that goes well.

    Took out a couple of pasties and a pie for lunch to have with peas, we'll just share as not too sure what each was is - sure one is a turkey and bacon pasty/slice. Took out some bread and the bread "stash" is virtually gone - Morries is on the cards on Saturday night! Pretty impressed with freezer space despite putting in 7 packs of diced chicken breasts last Saturday.
    Couldn't be bothered to go shopping and helping neighbour with her Sons flat tonight - might get to Sainsburys late on...........hope they haven't missed me and I hope I haven't missed much.

    Just checked my plants and tomato plants (planted Jan 3rd) are just starting to show their first truss. Marigolds have been poor, only about 25% germination and aquilegia even worse. "Pinched" a couple of sunflower seeds from the bird feed and three growing nicely, hope the birds appreciate my effort later in the year. Sown some poppy seeds the other day, but nowt yet!
