    The "normal" bit was meant to be tongue in cheek because I know that whatever the rest of you are, I'm certainly not normal myself. Glad it's made some people laugh, anyway. :)

    OMG I hope I haven't offended you - I was just joking myself !! AG

    It was a bit feeble wasn't it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Goodness, I take time out to catch up with Mr T, and bedlam ensues. I think all of us are probably a little barking, as we are on this mad journey :)

    School is on tomorrow but starting later than normal - sad son :(

    Night all, Tilly x

    62p a/c tidy OP.

    Payday has arrived, so savings pots are replenished.

    I will OP my February and March council tax today.

    I'll check my food spend as I haven't transferred money from the food savings pot. I'll transfer the real spends to my current a/c and OP the rest.

    Working from home today with a salad for lunch - will put some chilli seeds in to warm it up :)

    :( No lodger money :( to OP. I'm not going to like this and the kids were upset last night, as our last lodger was like a member of the family.

    Dinner this evening is cheating - breaded chicken, potato wedges and salad. I bought two packs from W/rose at bargainous prices early December but they haven't been eaten yet. I pack tonight.

    I checked the freezer last night, definitely more room but not as much as I had expected. How did we cram so much food in there? I will do a freezer inventory next Friday evening and see what meals I can create for February. I think we will be down to odds and s@ds but they still need using up :)

    Have a good day and I hope the roads are safe.

    You are on a roll as usual, I did a freezer inventory once it worked really well must do it again. I have 2 fridge freezer and might be getting another small freezer on loan so could do with knowing what I have where.

    Good luck with finding a new lodger.
