    Hmm.. you know beanie, I was never that keen..but they haven't been touched yet!!

    Thinking about it... PG, its probably the coming home from school after not eating enough food during the day and snacks she was missing... She polished off a load of grapes this eve as she roamed the kitchen..I have put YS pork in the SC (with some apple juice, stock, thyme, leeks and mushrooms - my own recipe ;)) so she can serve that up tomorrow for dinner with rice and some kale (another thing she bought!:rotfl: But hey not knocking it..its a very seasonal and healthy choice!)

    More TTs..not sure quite whats going on with my account. Looks like its in credit, just, but it aint...:(:o

    Did I mention what OH and I are doing for Valentines? Can't remember, so here goes..we have booked for the following Friday ;) (so no supplements etc) and using a voucher MIL gave us for Xmas (which kindly includes wine:T). It was OH's idea....I was very impressed and needless to say am supporting it wholeheartedly:A

    If shes anything like my DD2 at the moment she will eat you out of house and home ! I have no idea where she puts it, but she is taller than me now and not yet 13. Our cupboards are always empty, as fast as I fill them she eats it all !

    Your Valentines Plans sounds just perfect to me ! I am a big believer in celebrating Valentines on a completely different day. xx

    With all your debt busting strategies I'm sure you'll meet your DFD date of March.

    I lurve iced gems. They don't really do them in NZ but I have occasionally treated the boys to some from the British shop and of course sneaked the odd one out of the packet for me. :p

    I hate iced gems, bleurgh!

    You are doing so well, and so close now!

    That's a great idea about getting your DD to do an online shop, I'm going to save that one up for many years in the future when little jwil is older and eating me out of house and home :D

    That sounds fab about Valentines, I refuse point blank to go out on the day. My birthday is shortly after, so we usually go out then anyway.

    Hello

    Yes I was pleased she did it..she is already building up a new list on the fridge but OH beat her to some of it with a quick trip to L,dls as he was passing..can't fault his logic but she was a bit miffed!

    Quiet few days as work took over but MSE wise it's been OK. Few big cheques having to go out the door for clubs and trips...not so great and makes the bank account seem very low. Heating on as was shivering at my desk but as WAH no commute costs so will all balance out.

    Have got free tickets to cinema next week so that will be a Valentines treat. Looking forward to a date with OH:rotfl: doesn't happen often :rotfl:

    A friend is coming over this weekend and we will probably stay in..looking forward to that. No need to grocery shop as have loads in and OH is making lots more yummy soup for lunches

    Woodburner on..it's chilly here but now feel very snug :D

    Have a good weekend folks :)
