    Thanks for the recipe HAW.

    Welcome :D If you ever try them out let me know how you get on!!

    Spend day today :( Have booked myself and 3x DDs in for a bit of pampering in a couple of weeks so had to pay the deposit for that. Also got my eyebrows done. And had to get a couple pressies for niece and nephew too!

    Have another couple of big spends this month still:
    -rest of the ££ for the pampering for me and DDs
    -I'm treating my friend (and me!!) for a spa/pampering for her 30th
    -car tax up at end of month

    On a positive note, as you can see by my signature, I've hit my First Direct target, so in a months time I'll be able to actually access that money, plus interest. Woohoo!! :j

    Happy hump day everybody! Sun is finally shining here again :cool:

    Registering NSD #3/10.

    Definitely not an NSD tomorrow as I will be doing the shopping. Hoping for at least one NSD over the weekend, although as we will be away no guarantees!

    Will update again on Monday.

    Hi all
    Finally got my head outta my !!! and myself outta work to find sometime to count my days. Sadly only 3 so far. I'd resorted to sending the hubby for stuff and he inevitably forgot something meaning another trip the next day :( nvm onwards and upwards. Hope everyone's well and doing well on the challenge:) gonna have a proper read thru and catch up with what I've missed this far :j
