lol we never think do we?

Maybe thats what lead us all here in the 1st place!!!

I take offence (only joking :rotfl: ), I do think, just not always in the right places :rotfl: (don't let OH read this, I'll never hear the last of it!)

Have you tried your library, ours has magazines in there and some very nice comfortable sofas right next to them though usually taken up by people reading the magazines.

Yes, I have. I usually read the local paper there but the magazines aren't quite what I like (and anyway, it's the freebies that make me buy the mags )
Hopefully, by the end of the challenge I will be weaned off them and won't mind not buying them. I'm already not bothered about buying chocolate (unheard of before) so should be able to tackle this one too.:rolleyes2

Evening gang. Wet and wild day here again. Plans to go out have been cancelled cos its too rough so its gonna be a night on MSE me thinks.
Had a busy day today helped out with a funeral lunch which is always hectic. was good to see the old ladies i used to work with and they gave me loads of home baking to take home oh yes! ive been needing a sugar fix!

Been thinking about what will be my first legal spend and i think it has to be diet coke and a creme egg. I think i might carry on with this challenge even after lent maybe go 4 weeks with no unnecessary spending then one day for my diet coke fix etc would be good for the bank account i guess.

ok im rambling on enough here. asta lasagne x

Hey PAP hun,

Don't leave us, we are all bound to slip up. Knowing me itll be two days before the end, and then I'll be !!!!!!!

You've had a hard time lately, so dont you dare go being hard on yourself. You've achieved more than I ever could and I've told you before I'm absolutely astounded by what you do for the people in your life!

You've done fantastically on this challenge, and I hate to see you sounding so down!

Besides lent is about (some religious boff may correct me here) appreciating the sacrifices that were made for our redemption, and flat bread comes in there somewhere too but ANYWAY................... I've had a word with a Mr G.O.D and the big JC and they pointed out that within lent and the whole sch-bang is forgiveness, so guess what chick, we all forgive you for your slip!

Plus (junk) food is essential!!!!
