    Sorry Ive missed so much on here, Im writing March off, its been terrible for me, spends everyday :( Roll on April !

    Karen, I know how you feel. I'm struggling this month too. Another spend day for me again as well. More unexpected work expenses and it's making it difficult to even get an in a row with any substance going. :mad: At least I can add them to my expenses claim for this month without having to wait a few weeks before getting repaid. :D

    The good news is...... my e-bay sales have done quite well (for me at least). Sold 3 items now and got just over £60 after fees. :D:j I hope this weekend is a free listing.

    Take care everyone, off to read back on the last few pages and update my signature.

    Couldn't be bothered going to the gym today, which meant I wasn't going to be near the big Mr T to get my shopping.

    But I decided I needed some of the bits before tomorrow, so I put on my large backpack and walked a round trip of over 3 miles to get to the next town and back to enable me to shop at a smaller Mr T who had almost everything on the list anyway. (Then stopped at Lid1 and A1di on the way home for the last few bits).

    I've also purchased another Group0n deal - but this one's mine all mine (other deals from there and W0wcher have been for me and OH to do together). So from Monday 6th May I'm doing 8 weeks of bootcamp!! The first test will be that two of the sessions (can do 3 a week) are 7-8pm, and I prefer to exercise before 11am :o The 3rd session is 1-2pm on a Saturday, so I'll then have a mad scramble to get home, showered and dressed before OH arrives at 4. I'll have to miss one Saturday (using a W0wcher deal), and may miss the very last as it's the day OH and I go away for a week - but as it's self-catering a couple of hours drive from home we could delay setting off until afterwards if I'm really mad keen not to miss out ;)

    Hoping to hit my second target tomorrow......

    I've unintentionally managed to have my first NSD, whoop!!

    I had planned to spend some money at ASDA on reduced veggies, alas I missed the bargains.

    However, 1 NSD / 6

    I can do this x
