Well literally about 10 minutes after posting this I got a phone call from Mum to tell me my Grandad (Dad's Dad) had had a stroke Managed to get to the hospital and visit in the afternoon and seems OK, he just doesn't have the use of his left arm atm but everything else like speech seems alright?
Will know more today I think.

Sorry to hear this hope things get better for him soon. xxx

Evening

Good news is it Grandad's stroke wasn't too serious and he's been discharged :j It has made me realise that he's not invincible though

This weekend has been very sport orientated, football yesterday, watching the olympics last night and rugby this afternoon - I'm tired from watching it :rotfl: Unfortunately it means that it's been quite a spendy weekend. Need to tot up how much I've got left over

Hope everyone's had a good weekend.

please-let-me-be-lucky

Glad you've had some good news re your Grandad. Hope he continues to improve quickly Xx

Thanks lovelies need to check how he's been since he's been home.

Well I have a confession to make, I managed to get a Pansonic BM off ebay for £25 :j it was collection only but they let me organise my own courier It should be here today :j
Hmmm haven't told OH yet :rotfl:

Not a lot planned for today, going to bake some biscuits after doing the kitchen which is on today's fly lady anyway

The sun is out (for now) so I might wash my car as well

Morning, back to work - full 4 this "week" so working all weekend which I don't enjoy but it does mean I won't be spending money which is a good thing.

The bread was lovely, I'm looking forward to trying out other recipes OH wasn't grumpy about it either - his main reason for me not getting one was nowhere to keep it but it fits on top of the fridge/freezer

Car insurance due next week so that will be a big chunk of wages gone, but I've shopped about and got it £67 cheaper than my renewal price.
Once that is paid I will be saving each month towards next years.

Morning Badger - Good work on breadmaker - we have one and I used to use it loads, and if I am honest maybe use it once a month now tops..so if you find some great recipes, would you mind sharing?

Also good news on the MSE front you are doing really well.

HAve a good day x

Good morning

Just had a look on TCB and I think it was £75 cashback for the company who have given me the cheapest quote :j

Have put all the bits in the BM this morning so there should hopefully be a nice loaf ready for when I get home tonight. Have probably read things wrong on the scales though at 6am :rotfl:
I've posted a link on your diary Aamberle hopefully you'll find some recipes on there that you can use, ooh I put a recipe as well. It's yummy.
Going to try sun dried tomato bread next week:D

Currently up to 7 NSDs and hoping for another today. I'm going to resist buying a bacon butty tomorrow when everyone puts their orders in:o

Just counting down til payday now *hurry up Monday, hurry up Monday*
