    Just a little older than my DS then. I have a DD a bit younger as well.

    Hope the weather stays dry and the wind picks up for you (but not too much, of course).

    Well it didn't rain, stuff relatively dry just toasting off on radiators now.

    DS off to his dad's and a peaceful study filled weekend planned for me... Think I'll head to the gym tonight for a wee break though, it's been a hard day:o!

    I've noticed a few bits of fake xmas tree about - how authentic is that even dropping needles like a real one :D?

    Having a night off studying - so far I've been to the supermarket followed by the gym for a swim/sauna :D I should maybe get a social life in 2013... mind you I've spent all but £10 of January's entertainment budget so maybe not...

    Today's bargain was 6 lemons for 14p in Mr T (which was strangely devoid of food) so it would be rude not to have a wee v & t wouldn't it...

    NSD today :D, not even a coffee at the gym which I usually excuse on the grounds that reading their magazines stops me buying them;)

    After a couple of weeks of excess I've been mainly eating healthy things today - porridge with cranberries, omlette and pasta with a tomato and pine nut sauce:A. ok I've had some chocolate but I've been studying... lunch tomorrow is hopefully tomato and courgette soup found in the dark recesses of the freezer, mind you it could be any random tomato based thing really:o

    Think I may go for a swim again later and try to have an early night in preparation to going back to normality on Monday.

    I have never even heard of that Beanie, I love brussel sprouts though but DS isn't keen - honestly you'd never think he was mine :o we both hate twix mind and Kinnie (vile Maltese drink).

    Today's bargains were two bagettes at 5p each from Mr A, stuck in freezer to use next couple of times we have pasta :D

    It's yummy El, I make it a lot just cut up a courgette or two and stick it in pot with some pasatta and stock cook for about 15 mins, cool a bit then blitz the lot - voila WW friendly soup but also quite tasty and filling :D
