Rallied and now is on a downhill slope again..yes its horrible.

am up your way SBO (well sort of ..Newcastle so not really but certainly closer than Bristol!) next month..I will wave from the train

Plodding away here. Kind of chimes with the weather I guess!

please-let-me-be-lucky

Darn..we should really get those diaries sorted!! This missing each other as we scoot around the country jwil will never do. Am really looking forward to see Newcastle again PLMBL..I do have a soft spot for it (and Durham..). Maybe I am in the wrong part of the country:rotfl:

So some good news..the hens that haven't laid since July..and I was thinking about the pot;) well we have just realised that the reason one hasn't stirred since last week very much is cos she was broody and sitting on 9 eggs....:eek::T Hope they are OK (should be). its a great feeling to have our 'own' eggs in our fridge again..have to say blooming early but guess it is very mild

Had a good work chat with a colleague last night (and a glass of wine!) and feel like we are making some progress there too. It all helps.

OH is stressing again about work. DDs are weighed down by homework and after school stuff but all manageable when we are not tired. OH came home on time yesterday, I had dinner ready and DD2 went to bed hour earlier than normal. It must have worked a little as she was in a great mood this morning...I think she is suffering at the moment from lack of sleep and its affecting her attitude a lot.

Avoiding doing the spreaddies at the moment..must kick myself into action as I would SO like to be straight by the end of March and that is only 6 weeks away!:eek:

More good news..have reached £4300s..yippee

Will update my sign later as a treat/reward for doing the spreadsheets. Have had heating on for most of the day..for the cat you understand also cos sitting down all the time I am getting chilly despite the triple layers!

All washing on racks though and a freezer dinner defrosting for the hungry hordes when they come home

A friend may be lending me (maybe for a month or two, maybe longer) an undercounter freezer. Cant wait..it will be SO useful. Very kind of her and I am very keen that OH goes and gets it on Friday

jwil

Yay to being in the £4300s and for fresh eggs!

One day I'm sure we'll have to arrange a meet up

Thanks everyone. It does feel like progress and part of it is budgeting. Pure and simple. And not spending money you haven't got yet! Its been a slow learning process, clearly:o, and I have never felt like I was a particularly slow learner but on this I must be :rotfl:

Have friends coming over for dinner so need to prepare that today so its all ready to just pop on the table. May well have to go to the vets first though

Must get around to doing some work now.. hope everyone has a decent day

Sorry your little friend need to see the vet again. All the best with that Budgeting is a real trick and something we could all do better. Well, I could as I take my eye off the ball and the husband spends it...
