ONIONS! oh my word, they saved me. Googled and found that if you chop an onion and place it in a bowl by the bed it helps, gave it a shot and WOW within 20 mins my constant cough had practically stopped !! Thought id share, its kind of money saving seeing as an onion is cheaper than any medicine lol

Morning!

More snow here today, urgh! It's taking the mick now! Damn you winter!

It's all blizzardy and I wanted to pop out to the supermarket to buy myself a very tasty but MSE lunch.

Hope your cough gets better Happytails, those tickly coughs can be so irritating - stock up on onions!

I'm in a bit of a lull at the moment. I've sent off a few reclaim letters, just waiting for responses now. Looking for the next few ideas to bring some percents in. Hmm...I'd really love to get into selling at craft fayres but it's expensive to get started. I'll have to do some research into that!

Where is the snow? We haven't had any in South Wales and I wouldn't have minded this week with being off work.

Thanks for the tip about onions happytails - I've never heard of that before.

I'm just waiting for tomorrow so I can pay another 3% off that blasted car

Happy %ing everyone :j

Well it's still snowing big fluffy flakes here (Midlands) not sticking though. What's left on the ground is left over from last Friday when the roads were really bad. 'Spose it's better than April showers (which I presume will be next)

Payday for us tomorrow.

Tesco shop planned. Got a £4 off £40 spend there and a code for a free malteser bunny. Pay 1 car road tax, luckily it's only £20. Pay for some night time cloth nappy bits for dd2 (£25) and pay mil back for Fridays meal. Need to fill up both cars of petrol too and get my morrisons miles points :beer: got to call the bank to reduce my overdraft too £990 gone!! £1000 left after tomorrow. Yey I can't wait.
