    Morning - and what a beautiful morning it is..the sun has come out! Yes I know it probably wont last the day - but I need to enjoy it whilst it is here.

    Hoping for another NSD today - and tomorrow - but let me get through today first :D.

    Morning All - So Wednesday is upon us again..so not a lot to report as i have another week or so until pay day :o so unless everything sells I will not be making any big changes to my debt - but on a plus it is not going up either..:D

    What news can I share - have decided to become all domesticated ( cooking from scratch I mean ) and realised that infact the only things I excel at are puddings, cakes and generally everything that is bad for me..:rotfl: I can cook - but seem to be lacking imagination when it comes to meals..will need to have a look at some cookery books, I think to see if I can be inspired...

    Anyway have a good day xx

    Aamberle, you say that like it's a bad thing :) Sounds good to me!! Found any exciting recipes? DH wants me to make a bananna tea loaf so need to find one for that.

    Morning - We made it to Friday :j:j. Thats another week closer to payday..

    Not much to report really. Waiting to the weekend to start on the recipe book review..Need to fond some inspiration - but have been really good and been doing the freezer challenge ( or whatever its called) It is actually true - the amount of food we have that we forget about is scarey - anyway once that is all emptied out I will be defrosting and then I will do one big shop and start all over again. Obviously this will be after payday :D .

    On the money front. Snuck in yesterday with a little payment ( amazon sales) with a payment on a CC ( the last one charging me interest) i will get rid of it somehow..( dramatic cackle/laugh in my head playing)..but today have a scheduled payment coming out for one of the 0% cards...so have updated signature as it makes me feel so much better seeing it slowly going down.. Also had an NSD yesterday..which was nice.

    Anyway enough rambling from me - have a happy Friday Xx
