    Hello Brizzle,:wave:

    I came over here after reading a post on Harri-bear's diary (about telling your husband about the debt). Have I really never posted in your diary before? It would appear not...

    I do tell my husband regularly our debt and progress (or sometimes lack of) but I am sure if I asked him what we owe right now he wouldn't have a clue.:rotfl:

    Anyway good luck, I have subscribed (at last):D

    Hi everyone, and especially the lovely banwa!

    Yes it was lovely carrot cake so definitely counted as 1 of my 5 a day!!!;-)

    Made Tilly Tidies..and will update sig this Friday.

    All good here, another day of living on work expenses but had to buy DD1 a pair of emergency boots as she is off on a trip this weekend...£48! But oh well, will be used for her sister in due course and last pair of walking boots was 2 years ago so she is a cheap shoe girl!

    Apart from that no spends, walked in then checked right out of the Deben@ams sale ...need to see about OH though..but nothing to suggest he has not been frugal...

    Love to all

    I think I have a DD who subscribes to Mara's version of healthy eating.:rotfl: I have come to count ketchup as one of her 5 a day!

    Good work on not giving in to sale temptation. The cost of children's shoes is outrageous!!:eek:

    Agree BH! And am still checking that they will fit her, they may be too tight across the foot :( no time to buy new ones..so pretty stressful!

    Have done Tilly Tidies. Need to pay a grocery bill but that's it. OH frantically working but no spends he says. Need to pay a school camp fee..and have just been out for a drink with the girls..much needed...but that's it! Babysitting on Friday so little chance to spend :D

    We have a Clark's outlet shop in Lake District. Even so DGD's first shoes cost £15. You got a good eal with the walking boots. And great you can hand them on to DD2.
    My four children didn't conform to normal growth patterns so at all times I had to have two pairs of each size of wellies, walking boots etc.

    I really prefer the old store, the new one doesn't seem to have very many billy bob bargains.
