    I have been missing for a while but i have finally managed NSD 4 today. Had a spend every day monday i brought the weight watchers magazine, tuesday i brought a couple of things for DD1's birthday, wednesday i brought a game for her birthday and yesterday I had to buy a stamp. Silly little spends unless i buckle down by loads i will not make my target for this month. Any way i am now following the weight watchers diet at home this is saving me money by not going to meetings and i am managaing well at the moment and i have exercised every day this week so have less time to post now.

    Good evening all, spendy day today as I did some grocery shopping but on the plus side I did it in Aldis and Home Bargains and ended up saving a fair bit of cash. The things I bought there would have definitely cost more in the main supermarkets.

    Well, St Swithins Day nearly over and so far no sign of the wet stuff so I fully expect to have a prolonged period of fine, dry weather over the rest of the summer. If that does not materialise I will not be amused.

    As it will be the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing later this week, are we having a moon party?

    Well done on the grocery shop Nargle :T Will Igor be making moonshine for the party?! :eek:
    kerri - I missed the tap washers yesterday but agree with Jinty, it's an essential :D

    washers duely bought today...wasn't sure which size so erring on the side of caution I bought a pack of each and will return the ones I don't need.

    Now, silly question but DO I need to turn the water off? I read yes but my mum said she changed a tap washer without doing that?

    MSE dinner again tonight, last fish cake (I did freeze it before anyone gets worried :D) with salad and some frozen veg (well, I think I'll cook them before eating :rotfl:) Off to Mr A at some point over the weekend to make use of some more coupons - then that's me done with that until pay day.

    TGI Friday :beer:
