    Sent DH to town for a few things from Mr S and urgently needed prescriptions. He came back with a load of crap we dont need and no prescriptions, having spent £60.

    Just back from a lovely hours hack which included fording a stream and a canter. Me on foot of course.

    Sounds fab. One day I will be brave enough to ford a stream and have a canter outside too :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Whoops - it is sometimes easily done though x - hope he went back for the prescriptions ?

    Today i have just started logging my spending down on my diary - exciting reading i know :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - its because i spent more than i realised in town :wall: in the end only £8.55 over i think though and i actually went through the supermarket receipt - all of that was essential spending - it was the other shops i'd nipped into where the odd item is cheaper than the supermarket and got lured in by the 'it's only so much...' :naughty: I may keep this thrilling exercise up for a few weeks - a spending diary is a good way to refocus for me i think and food shopping is definitely an area i need to cut back on :o

    Hope you have a lovely day :)

    Watty it was DD being brave not me. Actually ponyplops was all over terrified of the stream until she was half way accross when she stopped for a drink.

    Dedicated, he went back, an extra ten miles. I was NOT AMUSED.

    Today I am grateful for
    * surviving 6 kids in the house aged 2-12
    * the consequent 2 hour clubbing nap
    * a lovely fire
    * puppylove asleep on my feet
    * my family.

    Wishing all MFWs a frugal and fabulous 2014 with love and humility.xxx
