    Brrr. It's so so cold here. I may have to go and get the duvet from the spare room and have it on the sofa. Don't really want to put the heating on more.

    Had a NSD today - took leftover pizza for lunch and we've just had chicken fajitas for tea :) there are two wraps left over, so I'll use them for lunch tomorrow and Friday.

    Nothing else to report....!

    Blah. Had a really rubbish day at work - don't think I'm going to like Thursdays.

    Also, it was -11.5 degrees when I got to work- what?!? It's so cold here.

    Righto, best make a start on tea.

    It has been trying to snow here all day but I am glad it is melting as soon as it touches the ground.

    Looking forward to hearing your exciting news now that it is the weekend!

    Were you watching the tv last night? There was a tonight programme on about a family who thought they were spending £80 a week on groceries, were spending £150 odd I think, and they visited the supermarket four times a week. There was a chef called in to help them and he made a menu plan and it helped them to reduce their waste and spend the £80 they had been thinking they were spending on groceries. I was thinking that they could afford to pay another £70 a week of their mortgage like you are doing!

    I didn't see that - what channel was that on?

    Erm, okay....!

    So, tomorrow, we are getting two kittens.....! Well, they're 9 months old, brother and sister pair, lovely but very nervous around humans due to being strays :( but, I'm hoping with perseverance and food bribes, they'll be cuddling up soon :)

    I'm excited! And a little nervous - I'm definitely a dog person, but as both me and DH are out all day, this is the best thing. I am looking forward to it, just hope they like it at our house :o

    Obviously spends are going to go up a bit, but still trying to keep things plodding along!

    Eeee!
