    So..plans for the weekend

    1. Do some paid work... (essential!)
    2. Keep checking PC website as its down and I want to redeem some points
    3. Enjoy my new totally decluttered study! Am here now and its lush and makes me feel calm and happy :)
    4. Haven't shifted a large piece of furniture yet on Freecycle. :( Would hate to have to break it up but maybe thats the only way?
    5. Make HM pizza and HM chocolate cake for tea with friends. Will try and persuade DD2 to help..what are my chances ?:)
    6. Enjoy evening with friends this evening. Sunday lunch with another tomorrow and an evening with a fab local band with OH..

    All good things and hoping for a very low spend couple of days too

    Thanks lovely peeps.. V happy to send some West Country rain to NM!! Looks like it's a short lived heatwave so we'll have plenty to spare soon! :eek:

    All good with me. Just heading home. Won't be very MSE but have promised the girls a chippy tea... Hmm.

    My dentist told me this morning if I don't get a night guard made and wear it consistently I would be looking at very expensive dental work in the future. I'm a teeth grinder and it's causing big problems. So I had to dip into savings to pay upfront for this to be made. I guess that's MSE in the long run. Better a little money now instead of a whole lot of money later.

    What is a chippy tea? I keep seeing people post that but not sure... I'm thinking there are fried potatoes involved?
