    Hi there
    I have insisted that if hubby is chilly...he put some clothes on...why oh why does he live in shorts n tee shirt and then sit at the PC right by the thermostat and turn it on??...so he put his joggers on and what do ya know...half an hour later they were off again because "im all hot now"... his defence is..well we are in credit....arghhhh - i know we are..and thats the way i want it...we are moving to germany at the end of the month..and since the DD comes out of my account..guess whos got a refund coming..yippeee

    I have made my own bread..and had dippy egg n soldiers..hmmm i love that and its so filling.

    made my own chicken n sweetcorn soup last night..better than a takeaway any day..and ridiculously easy and cheap.....

    i have also refused my hubbies offer to buy me some goodies..pop, choc from the shop when he went for the paper..

    Hello!

    This weekend I have:

    * Done four loads of economy washing and got it all dried on the line.
    * Piggy comps & QuidCo searches.
    * Ordered a health food via QuidCo from a place that does free p&p for orders over £4.95 :T
    * Received some free potted plants for the garden, from BF's lovely Mum.
    * Sold something on EBAY.
    * Won something on EBAY that is cheaper than shops!

    I think that's it for this weekend.

    * Have done car boot this morning got £52 (Didn't sell much so will go again next weekend)
    * Done MS today so got lunch for ''free''.
    * Had 2 bbq's so only brought bottle of non alcoholic wine and 2 cans of carling.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    evening all
    I've spent only 35p today, made my lunch for work tomorrow, decided not to place a bid on a top I spotted on eBay, and went for a long countryside walk to enjoy the sunshine instead of heading to the pub ...
    Overpay!
