    Have spent a fortune online today but all planned for spends out of the house budget and all via TCB. Got DD a mattress and wardrobe from Argos 20% off code so brought the price right down. Paint ordered from Wilko for DD's room, our room and the hall. Good job Mr SA is in all day as next week will be delivery after delivery.

    Feel like I've achieved nothing today although got loads of washing dry in the wind. Will have to do the cleaning tomorrow when DD is out of the way.

  • .....also read on Uncanny’s thread that you’ve bought Mr SA a beer making kit! Good idea - that’ll keep him occupied. He can ponder over it on Saturday mornings while you’re at WW!:)

    As long as he doesn't make a mess in my new kitchen SSG!

    Took the dog on the park this morning with Mr SA on his scooter. Got really fed up of him zooming towards me and laughing when I told him off for scaring me. I don't find it funny at all. At one point he wasn't looking where he was going and the dog ran in front of him - that was a near miss!

    Have done the cleaning, not gone mad as the plasterer and his dust will be back tomorrow.

    Just need to do meal plan and make soup for work lunch now.
