    Hi All!

    Hugs Zafiro - I hope this week is better xxxx

    I have a new allotment!! Well half but didn't want bigger as I can't manage it. Have to draw straws to see which actual plot I get on a new site so here is praying that I get one near the tap! Can't wait as been a year since I left the last one due to bullying. Not going to happen again!

    Having chinese from freezer tonight. Only had two kids to feed tonight and one isn't feeling his best still so not much food out. Hoping he will be at school tomorrow though - he is perking up a bit :).

    No idea what we are eating tomorrow.
    3 kids(DS1 6 Nov, DS2 8 Feb, DS3 24 Dec) a hubby and two cats - I love to save every penny I can!

    Evening all.

    zafiro1984 - hope you are feeling better.

    Only spent 65p today on bread - so no NSD, but just ticking over.
    I'll probably buy cheese tomorrow and received some coupon today and one was for free 2l Cravendale.
    So, I'll have to start couponing again. I was trying to delay it until the end of March, but can't miss that. lol

    Naan bread pizzas were "spot on", had with HM wedgers. Bacon and egg butties for lunch.

    Not sure about tomorrow yet as weather has turned nasty!!
    See what tomorrow brings.

    ms_night_ryder - Brixton Hill?? You must live pretty close to where my Son lived, near Ruskin Park (Herne Hill)?? I'm sure we looked at a few 2nd hand shops up there, but they seemed pretty dear.

    So long as they *stay* frozen they don't. It's the thawing that turns them into little squish balls.

Lynsey been doing the spc now for 4 years and I have put the money towards a ( iPod..iPhone..& 2 iPads ) so I must be a Isheep :rotfl: not sure what too buy this year , last year I had to use it before time which was not very good so did not save as much as I would have liked . You are doing very well too.
