    Hi SF just read your whole diary! I am sooo envious of your lovely cakes, I wouldn't be able to leave them alone, they'd be gone in no time! I'm sorry finding a job has been difficult but I'm sure things will pick up soon. Chin up my lovely x
    :hello: and thanks for the lovely comment! :o I will keep plodding, all you can do... :D

    I'm really tired this morning, think it's going to be a long day... :wall:

    I'm aiming for a NSD today; I've bought my lunch with me and it's all healthy things, I just need to stick to the plan! I think today will be pretty busy, so I'm hoping it'll go fast and I'll soon be at home again with my feet up :D DH's parents have dropped off some meat for us - some sausages, bacon and black pudding, so I'm going to do DH a fry-up for his tea, with some toast and baked beans and I'll have the rest of the beans on some toast with a rasher or two of bacon on the side I think. It'd be a shame to waste all of that - we never buy sausages or bacon or black pudding really, so it'll be a nice treat for DH :) I don't mind having beans on toast for tea either, and it's healthy, so a win all round :) just have to put the meal I was supposed to be doing tonight on the backburner, but then that means I've already got a meal sorted for next week - bonus! :D

    :hello: Keiss - nice to see you! The sausages were yummy ;) as was the bacon, beans and toast I had for tea...! :o healthy eating not managed today, but it was very yummy :D

    Feeling a bit "meh" today after having a weird day at work. Don't want to go into details but am feeling very fed up and hurt about things. Blah. Onwards and upwards - 8th NSD of the month in the SF household today which is always good, and I've transferred another few pennies to the house deposit pot.

    Here's to tomorrow being better!

    Thanks taxi - you were up late/early!

    Quite tired this morning, so I'm going to need coffee today :p It won't be a NSD in the SF household as I'm going to need petrol on the way home from work.

    Ho hum :)
