    Oh Mrs B, don't be sad. OH will be home soon, that will make you smile. Well, hopefully !

    You sure you haven't taken on too much work ?

    Hope you get some time to relax at the weekend , much deserved in my opinion xxx

    Hi Mrs B, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling low. maybe you are doing too much? I hope you are feeling brighter soon.

    I have an allotment too and DD tells me she saw a lot of weeds in it. I really need to get there soon but it is 2oC today and a cold wind too. It is not feeling like the end of May.

    brill news about Mr B coming home soon. Take care of yourself xx

    Thanks lovely friends in the box!!! It's lovely that you popped in.

    Am feeling a little chirpier today. Just hit an exhausted low patch. Still have to do some work over weekend..along with several other people...but at least OH gets home tomorrow and its a long weekend...BUT...where oh where is the sun we we promised???!!!! Not blooming in Brizzle that's for sure. Sky is glowering ready for a storm more like.

    On the MSE front, am still not spending any more..apart from increased childcare costs..but OH's OT easily covers that when he is away. So 3 NSDs!!! yippee!!!

    I have also Tilly Tidied each day...and read the paper online...the small things!! :-)

    Have a great weekend everyone and yes Pooh and Piq and everyone..the allotment is calling!! Pity my PSB and sweet one have failed to do he decent thing :-(

    Hi Mrs PG and all..

    - small victories. £202 in from the panels so have put against the horrible BC...should make an impact when I redo the sig
    - reduction in a credit card we sometimes use for big ticket items and which OH uses when away from horrendous 21% to 15%
    - relisted eBay, just the one item...on slightly reduced starting price but postage is horrendous. Not sure it will go...has anyone had luck with that FaceBay thang??? I am not a FB user so not sure how it works
    - credit limit just increased on my work CC..blimey what have I done to deserve that..makes no odds though as always clear it down eventually with my expenses...but just shows you what a weird world Debtdom is..
    - now about to meal plan and get dressed as my OH comes home in a few hours!!! Girls have finally got out of bed too!! :-)
