'5 and a bit miles'

I am delighted to report that I have whizzed through my list of jobs for this weekend and only have college stuff left to do:j:j
DS has tidied his room and informed me he is now £2 richer as he found so many 20p pieces around the floor - looks much better so hope he keeps it that way:o.
It's quite nice here at the moment, hope the artic weather passes us by, I don't do cold well:o
Trying out the donner kebab recipe later from the takeaway book, hoping DS might help out, I've told him we'll cook something from it each Saturday when he's in - hoping by the time he's old enough to move out he'll know how to look after himself...Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Apart from that 30p on on!poll so back up to £2
Hi skint spice, I saw that too on frugal queens blog. The problem is the rest of the family they will not let anything go, I think it weighs you down and the money is far better spent on doing stuff than buying stuff.MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -
Good idea on the cooking with DS.
