    lol just think of the work out you've given your arms............

    then stick to tap water.

    I'm planning on taking up jogging now the weather has started getting better and its getting lighter, however its an expense to get some running shoes etc. Dont care what I wear to jog so Primark can take care of that for less than £10 I'm sure.

    Wont be till after Easter anyway :)

    Well since I last posted I've had really bad tonsilitus and been in bed and on antibiotics so I've been nowhere and spent nothing :rolleyes:

    Am now feeling better and have caught up with everyone's posts again. Well done to everyone and welcome back CAFCgirl and CAFTgirls mum I'm female by the way :rotfl:

    CAFCgirl I can see you've been cracking that whip and I will heed it's warning well :eek: I can't believe we're half way through though ;)

    Ciara wow your arms must be an extra 2" long and well done for walking :T
    Shirleypark I bet the fence looks great, good budgetting must be hard ignoring the pepsi lure ;)

    Glad your feeling better kiwi

    Fence is looking great. Was like this before and now looks like this Still got a long way to go to get the garden looking like I want, but it's a start.

    One thing I've learnt from this, I have a weakness for pepsi max, more so than chocolate which I'm not actually that bothered about.

    Day 20 - half way point :j

    I took your advice yesterday and bought my pototo seeds (as this is food didn't feel I was cheating).

    I was thinking yesterday, what is the first thing I will 'legally' buy when the challenge is finished? And mine will have to be easter eggs for DD and DS (hope there will be some left by that time :eek: ) - so what is everyone else going to spend their first 'legal' spend on - any thoughts? And CAFCGirl, if I was in school and your were the Marm - I think you would be my favourite teacher :rotfl: :rotfl: You are an inspiration :A

    Hi all, I am looking for some help. It is my friends 50th b'day this week and we have been invited to her party. I can easily make her a card but what can I get her or make her as a pressie that will not cost anything? How I wish I had stocked up my pressie drawer before Lent.
