Morning Alice,

Haha to DH asking about the thins, I really like the half and half ones.
We had some mouldy bread last week and im going to write to H0vis about it as it was in date aswell.

Enjoy your strawberries xx

Ours was H0vis too, although it was dated that day.:(

DSs ticket sorted, he comes home this weekend.:j

I felt on top of the world this afternoon, now I've come home I irritated.

DS2 copped out because it looks like he's been on the games console most of the day. Although he did manage to scrawl two revision cards for Biology.

DS3 has definitely got cabin fever, he has been really naughty at the childminders, she did let him play outside when the rain had stopped but he fell in a puddle on the patio and had a compete meltdown. I really feel for her this week.:(

This sounds strange but I'm quite nervous about DS1 coming back, he's had/having the time of his life and I suppose I'm worried about how he's going to feel when he comes home, albeit for a short time. I'm also not sure how we are going to help/do our bit to fund next year but it's a case of he's started so he must finish.......we'll find a way.

I've had a voucher for a t3sc0 online shop so thinking might do that for this weekend.

Meal plan done and t3sc0 online shopping done.:)

Have compared car insurance quotes, to be honest the renewal quote is one of the cheapest. Still going to be a bit cheeky and see if I can get it any cheaper though.;)

Had to keep myself busy tonight the mood I'm in, think an early night is called for.:o

The bank balance is looking good today.:D I got paid yesterday and OH got paid today.......shame most of it will be going out of the account over the next few days.:(

Plan for tonight, shopping coming, will call car insurance see if they can reduce the premium anymore and will get DS1s bedroom sorted.....so he can at least get to his bed when he comes home.

Will need to get extra petrol for trip to the airport.

Back to feeling positive, amazing what a goods nights sleep can do!;)

Feeling very pleased with myself, got £20 off the car insurance. Will be paying £18.41 per month. Which is in line with the cheapest on the comparison websites.

They offered breakdown cover for £10 less than the @@, npw we could swap the current @@ cover to the 'other car' and then take out new cover with t3sc0 and both cars would be covered.....but we haven't got £28 'spare' at the moment.

Have sorted DS1s bedroom and the pile of paperwork that was growing on the side in the kitchen.:)

Need to pay £10 for DS3s school trip next week.

Healthy eating still going well.:)

Morning Alice,

Its not good re the bread though, ive had bread thats lasted longer than that!

Thanks mummy, every little bit helps! Just wish I could save the 'savings' if you know what I mean.

Looks like pegging out weather at the weekend.......at last!

No major spending planned for this weekend so that should keep the spends down. Just need to get some birthday and 'special' cards and a bday present for a male relative.

Looking forward to seeing DS1 tomorrow.:D

That's exactly what I thought:rotfl:

I must remember I am 33 and not 93!!!

Last weekend was terrible and I was antsy all day about the washing - I did manage to get 2 loads dry over the bank holiday weekend but not enough for me to feel better about the washing!!

Have a good weekend and hope DS1 arrives safely

Thanks EE, DS1 is back safe and sound.:)

That's exactly how I feel when I can't get the washing dried on the line :rotfl:

Did manage to get 2 loads dried on the line today though.
