    Hi beanie and SA :wave:

    Yes I do feel energised, maybe as OH is away I have a lot more thinking time, and I don't have to take anyone else into account - it's kinda my way or the highway ;) :rotfl:

    Two more AFDs over weekend and all being well, another today. Although if this traffic doesn't shift who knows what will happen?? Road rage??! Also a NSD today. Yesterday was ultimately a LSD - spent a princely £2.60 on bus back from club. We walked there (2 miles) but took a bus most of way back which I thought was fair. So a pretty frugal day.

    Also decluttered 2 more items. Not a sniff on Bay of E stuff though. Kids getting tea ready - good job too given the traffic (by the way am not driving in case you were worried!!)

    Have a good evening all

    Thanks MFM..another one bagged :) 5 in a row :)

    And a LSD. Fish purchased for a lucious tea. One freezer defrosted too, so will build that into the meal plan for next week.

    Not sure can count today as a LSD..seems to have been a spendy day but it's been £10 bakers, £12 Co-op groceries, and a new kitchen tap as the old one was knackered. Hardly feels decadent!!

    Making tea now....might need a glass of wine...

    You're doing brilliantly. Much better than me with the AFDs, although I've actually been drinking less as keep falling asleep, plus I've got to be careful now I'm on the painkillers, trying to leave a long gap between the last lot of tablets and the first glass of wine!

    Thanks- your support is always appreciated - I do thrive on praise ;):D

    A nice day today - OH knackered but back. Won't have a AFD today - but did have one yesterday.

    Lasagne in oven for tea for kids. We are going over to friends - Hope OH lasts and doesn't face plant into the soup :eek:

    Hope everyone has a good weekend
