    DH was seemingly impressed with my kitchen re-arrangements.

    We went to visit some friends earlier. I've referred to them at other points in my diary. They are the friends that are very lovely but very foolish with their pennies. Anyway, Mr had a pay rise and a tax rebate........ they have no saves of any kind and have to rent due to debt collectors chasing them and owing HUGE amounts of wonga.

    So, of course, they spent the money within a week of receiving it on a new and very expensive puppy. Very cute but, but...........

    They did consider a holiday (they haven't had one for approx 9 years) but decided a new puppy would be better - it can join the other dog, cat, fish and pet python!

    Anyway, Chilli was lovely, enough for two more portions which are currently sitting in their plastic tubs cooling down ready for the freezer.

    Still have enough meals to last until next weekend but have written up the next two week meal plan and shopping list anyway, even though I wont actually shop for it until the end of the week.

    DH went to Mr S for bread, pittas and tropical juice earlier.....

    He also came back with: Orange Juice, 3 X Aero bars, large bag peanut M&M' and caramel desserts - clearly spent too much time chit chatting in the garden with puppy man earlier.

    I know, when they moved they asked if we would like to have it. Erm, no thanks!!!!!!!

    I had a dream last night that a snake was biting my arm off. Wonder what that means in dream land.

    You need to imagine you're describing it to an alien Lula who has no idea of what a snake is so no preconceived ideas. Same with 'arm', then you'll work out what it really was about.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I'm even more confused now..... I think I will just put it down to reading those news stories about escaped snakes..... Easier that way.... Too much to think about when I checked it out on dream websites. X

    Or perhaps Mr. Lula was just looking for some 'attention' :D

    Morning!

    Thankfully no more snake dreams last night.

    35p TT to MOP account.

    Roll on pay day - 10 sleeps

    Not going to Body Combat today - 2 reasons. I've declared that weekends should exercise free. Secondly, my sports bra hasn't arrived yet - Body Combat is quite vigorous, nuff said!
