    NSD 4 for me!

    Had a little spend over the weekend - nothing major, just a couple of birthday cards, some groceries and essentials! It's getting tough because it's my friends birthday in 2 weeks and I really want a new dress. Normally I would literally buy about 5 - promising to take 4 back, but in reality would always end up with at least 2. I'm trying to be strict now, and either wear something again or make one under £30 purchase and stick to it! Probably sounds really silly I know! I'm also trying to plan buying her present and bits for her party on one day, after withdrawing a set amount of cash so I can't overspend!

    Glad you're all doing so well! X

    booked for yesterday and today.
    Saturday was a spend day as we bought decking oil, roofing felt and new curtains :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    At least the food shop was much cheaper with a list and no cheeky spends!!!!

    I failed on my first attempt! I got so busy helping my mum with paperwork last night that I went to bed ridiculously late and as such I didn't make my sandwich for work. :(

    I've made my sandwich for tomorrow already.

    So, onwards and upwards. :)

    Evening all - first day of the hols and yes, I've been on email half the day. however I did manage to find enough time to also go out and spend (incl some tap washers that the silly boy at the big orange DIY shop sold me which are wrong, I've opened the pack but going to take them back as I showed him the washer that needed replacing and he said the ones that don't fit ...would)

    Rising - perhaps you could get Maisie one of those head lamps :rotfl: poor thing, wonder if she had a bad experience peeing in the dark before (I know I have :rotfl:)

    Nargle - I have no idea about the kosher beans, is it anyting to do with how they are produced, or perhaps it has to be a kosher factory so there is no risk of cross contamination? ps did you see emslovesmickey's recipie for chicken and banana bread , sure Igor would like to try that :rotfl:
