Morning guys :hello: well I didn't get to the pub, but I did have a bottle of wine and watched a film with oh which was pretty good!
Today is a day of having fun and relaxing :T we are going to go for a mega walk & have a roast in a pub I think :beer: (have been recommended a pub that does a lovely roast for £4!)
I will finish off the above things - although think I will have to leave the car bits until during the week as I didn't get back in time for the shops yesterday....
I will also:- wrap up ebay sales as soon as they pay - currently I am £1.98 richer!!!
- list a couple of bits on ebay
- update spending diary

Hi everyone :hello:
Have a great day DNMS - night in sounds fab
OF - are you creating the photobook yourself or using a particular website? I was going to do one for my mum's bday in April.
I've got lots of yoga bits and bobs planned today - lesson planning and essay writing :j Taught my first class yesterday at a friend of a friend's gym - just 2 students and one was my hubby but felt like a good start!OH was on hand for some honest feedback too
Hoping to go out on my bike too. Nowhere far - still just building up my confidence before I hit the roads!
OH is talking about visiting his parents but then I won't get my essays done...
Got a friend visiting tomorrow so going to look for a 2 for 1 meal deal type thing in town and then come back here to drink some vino tinto.
Bought mother's day pressies from perfume parlour - and it was free delivery over £10 - that was 3 bottles - so made sense to buy myself one
Housework and washing on the agenda too.
Have a great day everyone! :beer:0 -
Morning all!
I'm mid-cleaning, just a quick coffee (and easter egg) break so thought I'd spend the 10 mins wisely by posting here
Lots to do today, housework-wise, might even get in the garden later and sort out the mess out there, and need to sort things out with car too...unblock window washers superscrimpers stylee and top up water etc
Small things for today:
- meals from stores
- surveys, clicks and bingo
- bumped facebook sales
- collect floor tiles for bathroom i'm buying on facebook - £15 :money:
- heating off
- some washing on airers
Thought I'd add something to my posts - my least mse thing of the day, as I'm slipping a bit and think if I have to report my slip ups it might make me think twice! Hope you don't mind, in fact I hope some people will join me doing this? So, least mse thing today is I have the dreaded dryer on - couldn't be bothered with sorting washing out yesterday and need unifomrs sorted so got them in the dryer, everyhting not needed is on the airers thoughGOD BLESS DURAN DURAN

I'm with you Spenda. Nothing to declare so far although have updated my spreadsheet and :eek: its not like I'm buying anything wildly extravagant but each day its between £6 & £25 :eek::eek:
Also thought we should play the who I am game as we haven't done it for a while :T
Ok me - I'm 36, live with my oh & have 2 children. I work in housing. My most favourite thing to do is going to a spa, laughing till my sides hurt
