Made a phone call to boss to tell her I wouldn't be returning to part time job I had recently started as it triggered off an old back injury. Dreading return call from her but now looking forward to sitting in garden and doing my hanging baskets. Happy Easter.NSK Zombie # SFD 7/15 Food Bank £0/£5

- A further week off work after that
- The sun is shining
- We are substantially less in debt than this time last year
- There is an ever growing chink of light at the end of the debt free tunnel

Because next week is my eldest's 8th birthday, and she thinks we're going out for the day when ACTUALLY we are going for a whole week (our first full week family holiday!) And because it is the 'Isle of Wight' they get to go on a ferry, and we can make like we're going abroad!
And on Monday I am finally doing a Boot Sale, so more money towards those debts (and a very useful clear out too!)
15 crafts for 2015 challenge.

The sun is cracking the flags here. My washing's on the line. Two more lovely days off work to go, and the kids are off school for another week so the roads will be nice and quiet when I go back on Tuesday. Oh, and there's the prospect of a chocolate egg tomorrow
