Wonderful weekend at a concrete chalet by the sea..have booked to go again next year..£88 for 3 nights (not that can ever use the third but oh well), paid the £30 deposit already so good cheap holiday
Spent £2.30 on papers on Saturday.
£25 on wonderful fish and chip lunch and drinks (inside as very rainy) on Sunday as well as bread and pastries (£4) on Sunday. So not bad for a holiday (oh and the deposit). Made the petrol stretch but am on red.
Long week work wise this week but will pop in when I can. Tilly Tidies being completed very day..Must update signature soon
Love to all xxMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Weekend sounds lovely, shame you didn't use the third night though.
Did you buy wetsuits int he end ? I am pretty sure I have summer wetsuits, never used lurking somewhere. They definitely don't fit my two so if I ever come across them I will let you know. They might be useful for your girls.
Well done to your OH on the OT and Freelance work.
Hope your long week wont be too exhausting for you.
Take care xxLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Hey granny..you're back:D where have you been???
All good I hope?
Thanks for popping by beanielou
So much work that don't know what to do next...I know!! A glass of wine :rotfl:
Back...have demolished a tomato, some bread and about to start a glass of wine..what does that say about me? :rotfl:
Today was fairly restrained
- fruit and veg from local greengrocers. All good stuff and much cheaper than a sm ( including some great stuff that was inexplicably reduced) but I did get asparagus which I love..so not strictly necessary:o
- pea and asparagus risotto for tea..yummy. Will make hollandaise sauce for the rest:D
- sent new work trousers to tailor
- posted parcel
- used the voucher on here to buy B@dy Sh@p basket (£84 worth costing £30) ..which I will give away as presents...don't use it much myself so not as great a temptation as some other beauty products I could mention!!

weekend sounds fun (if a little freezing!!)
I was debating going for the body shop thing but have for now decided against in case I get no more money from HER. I'd have also given it away as presents mind so no loss to me really
