    Hey medman :hello:

    I was born in Leeds 39 years ago and have never moved away.

    Where do you live now? Still 'up north' or have you ventured 'down south'?

    Evening diary,

    Been at work today so managed not to spend anything except £8.73 on waste.

    Day off tomorrow, need to do a shop at Sainsbury's - doing these weekly as I have some vouchers for a bonus 600 nectar points when you spend £30. Have a voucher for 8 weeks, so that will be another 4,800 nectar points at the end!!!
    Rest of tomorrow will be spent washing & ironing - JOY!

    Good luck with this, will be reading avidly.
    Mealplanning always kick starts me, and I find it so much less stressful than racking my brains each day.
