    Good morning! Thanks for the get well soon comments etc. Feeling still a bit ropey but dragged myself into work. Sth seems to be going round again. Might go to the shops today and get a few baking ingredients as it's FIL's birthday on Sat and I want to bake him sth.

    Took weekly meter readings yesterday and both gas and leccy are down again. Hopefully reduce the usage enough the next month or two to ask for a reduction in the DD over the summer months.

    More stuff fell off the roof overnight but hopefully the roofer will really come this weekend.

    It was the other stuff, I decided to join a dating website as I was coming up to 40 and thought maybe I should try and make an effort, bad mistake, I have managed to spend £500 and still not ended up with a man, did have a few dates but bit of waste of space :( actual website cost was only £40 the rest went on new clothes and babysitter (£5/hr may have to advertise myself as babysitter to earn some extra money)
    So lesson learned dating on hold till debts cleared as just can't afford it.

    I met my Hubby through a dating site. I had tried a couple and been on some disastrous dates before I met him. You gave it a go, guess it just wasn't the right time for you. I'm a firm believer if it's meant to be, it will be.

    Still clinging onto being under food budget, plan going well - will need to watch the weekend. We're going to a free wildlife festival so need to take some food with us. Any ideas to make it more interesting? - as we have pack lunch all week so would like to mix it up a bit.

    Have you thought about making quiche? Cheap and easy to make and you can throw all sorts of veg/cheese/meat into them to make it interesting. Or salad bowls maybe or even just different types of bread/wraps/pittas etc.

    It will be a SFD today, don't intend to spend til our big shop on Saturday.

    So yesterday wasnt a sfd, cost me £10 on hospital carpark:eek: and another £6 on food:eek: anyway she was worth it, so just off to make some dinner for them as she should be out this afternoon and I can take it with me to their house
