Spent a little bit of money yesterday bought my dad 4 ales from Mr T for £6 but I was really good as the 50 shades of grey was in and I resisted buying it as I am dying to know what all the fuss is about but I have ordered it from the library so I will just wait and see
.
Today's plans well the weather has ruined a few I was going to cut the grass but a bit wet at the moment so I might knit some hats for innocents smoothie and just have a bit of a tidy then that's it really for the first time in ages everything is caught up on housework wise.
I have seen a cross stitch kit I want off fleabay so going to save all my change for that and get it asap it was one I was going to do myself but it would have cost me at least £40 in materials and a woman on there makes her own and its £15 plus I won't have loads of materials left over
That's about it fo today how exciting am I

Morning
I love the hats you get with innocent smoothies, I've got one on my gear knob because it's alloy and gets cold in winter :rotfl:
It makes sense to get the kit off ebay at that price

Wow, lovely sounding mealplan there! Mmm, midweek roasts
We'll be having light food this week as I'm really trying to lose a few pounds - omelettes, soup, enchiladas - that kind of thing.
Oh, and my boss has recommended that book to me too - she was enthusing about it quite a bit today!

I can't wait to get it from the library supposed to be very raunchy :shocked: my best friend said she couldn't put it down :rotfl: so thought I would see what all the fuss was about for research purposes of course lol
I love a mid week roast and I can easily stretch a chicken into 3 meals for me and dd I even do one when I'm working top tip if you have a slow cooker roll about 3 large balls of tin foil in the bottom and place the chicken on top no water needed put it on high for an hour then leave it on low for 14 hours it's the best chicken ever falls off the bone and is moist too I've cooked it like that for years now I usually put a lemon inside as well the best ever chicken and then when you get home its really easy to have a roast dinner. It's dd's favourite dinner she loves it. water £82.00 Totally Paid June 2012, vanquis £290.00 Totally Paid July 2012, e.on £300.00 £189.00 Paid Sep 2012, Scott and co. £989 £918 Paid Oct 2012, s/p £400.00 £295 Dec 2012, o/d £2,000.00 Dec 2012, rent £1,600.00 Jan 2013, mum £1,500.00 £1,400.00 Feb 2013

You sound so organised on the debt free front, - my problem is itchy feet, trouble is my DD following me to a T....
Your OH sounds one in a million, xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
OK bit of a rant time!!! I got my credit report today and on there was only one default from Virgin media from 2008 :mad: to cut a long story short after I moved 300 miles away from that address they continued to send all my post there and not to my new one even though I had taken my new services from them the woman was so horrible and said well you must have got the letters until I asked when it was sent out to me she said the 15th June I moved house on the 1st June so no i didn't get them. Well its paid now so hopefully that will improve my rating a bit but going to write to them to put an amendment on my credit file and before anyone says it I didn't realise I hadn't paid it because I was told it would be put on my new address's bill didn't even think to check. Had a whole loads of issues getting my new services put on at the new address as well but that's also another long story glad I am now with sky. Rant over sorry
At least I don't have to add that to my list of debts.
Today I am going to do some of my cross stitch and the one load of washing, go food shopping and the bit of housework that needs doing so a fairly quiet day and very relaxing.water £82.00 Totally Paid June 2012, vanquis £290.00 Totally Paid July 2012, e.on £300.00 £189.00 Paid Sep 2012, Scott and co. £989 £918 Paid Oct 2012, s/p £400.00 £295 Dec 2012, o/d £2,000.00 Dec 2012, rent £1,600.00 Jan 2013, mum £1,500.00 £1,400.00 Feb 2013

Nice going! Nothing like coming under budget in the shopping. I'm getting there - had budgeted £200 for June and have another week or so yet. . . Not doing too badly.
What did you get in your BBQ pack?
