Well had a no spend day yesterday, went out for tea as children in need was on but used vouchers - so that was lovely , n called in on some friends so no heating one either!!.
Been at the other job this am, then got drawn back in as there was offers on like 3 chickens ( raw) fro £10, so got that - lots of vegs etc £71 lighter i left - but stocked up again , and put all money on saving card so got £150 to spend in dec ( technically a free months shopping) and got a £20 gift card free of work as a gesture of good will.
Down side , weighed myself and put 1/2 stone on due to the damn op... grrr got a bmaid fitting on sat - any tips for quick weight loss??!!!
Off to see the Oh's gran now , sp we dont need to put heating on.

Busy visiting night last night, fingers crossed i will be able to catch up on all the diarys soon!!!

Today long list :
visit 3rd friend who has declined from telling me she is expecting ( the joys of being barron! - my 3 best mates get up the duff and care not to tell me!)
buy oh some new trainers and workboots - they are falling apart and hurting his feet
change beds x2
hoover

do oh's bag of food for tomorrow


getting giddy as going op my 1800 this week- yay!!! thats £2800 in total since july when i signed up

Thanks MS friends!!!!

Also going to see what the balance is and perhaps use the "december food money" to even it out and round it down..... oh my i'm getting like natty, Peonie, and Tilly with the funny number game!!!!

then again i have a feeling that dec may be expensive with the OH's bday meal...........

we shall see lets concentrate on one bit at a time!

Well done for all of the cooking, your freezer must be at breaking point now! I love having lots of meals in the freezer to call upon as and when required.

Sorry to hear about your best friends keeping it from you, I guess they worry about hurting your feelings but don't realise that by keeping you out if it that they end up hurting you even more. Hugs xx
