    I got the job!! So proud of myself.
    In other news, it's not the nsd I planned for, as I decided to get the children a toy/magazine/something to celebrate. I offered them anything they wanted for dinner, including going out, and dd chose hm pizza! It obviously tastes THAT good!!

    I'm going to eat later, as I don't fancy pizza, don't know what I'll have yet. Then going to have a long well-deserved soak in the tub.

    Catch you later!

    Put me down for €150, which is to cover 2 in a household.

    Didn't really do well with Aprils challange but that was more to do with a meddling OH than myself!

    Really need to buckle down on the groceries budget as this is where most of my extra money goes towards!
