    I'm so rubbish with social outings!
    Was meant to be having a night out with the girls from work but they all dropped like flies then none of them felt like it........... bit poop but had a lovely day with the BF (surprising!), got out in the sunshine and feel much better now :)

    Plans for tonight, watching a dvd and eating whatever goodies I can find in the house :)

    Sorry to have missed the midnight feast - old age is creeping up on me and I feel alseep :rotfl:

    Happy Easter to you all and many thanks for all your support and friendship over the last 40 days - I feel that I have made new friends, far and near. Looking forward to the next challenge - will try not to go mad this week - good start today as all the shops are shut so CAN'T spend any money (hhe! hee!) - mind you there is always the internet :D

    Happy Easter to you all and congrats to everyone who stuck with the challenge.

    I have really learned a lot by doing this challenge,not to mention saving money.I have found that I can manage without ' stuff ' that I previously considered essential and I have surprised myself by how little I can live on.

    I plan to stick with the good habits I have got in to,with maybe the odd lapse now and then,hehe.

    Good luck to everyone who is doing the next challenge.

    Happy Easter everyone!!:easter:


    We began our Easter after Mass last night. Went straight to pub and drank copious amounts of wine then went home and ate chocolate while watching Harry Potter. What happened in the end? I and DH both fell asleep. I am still desperate for hair conditioner and local shop just sells cheap stuff. I look like Hagrid (hair only!).
