Been in about 45 mins from my HTC little worm trial. Did 6-8 and it was like riding a bike. Everythjng came back to me. I really enjoyed myself, which is obviously a plus point.
Had some little spends today. Will update tomorrow. I'm too tired tonight, and only just finished my tea and just chilling before bed.

Hi everyone - a few spends to report from the other day. 83p on Savers cocoa pops, £1 on salad and £3.50 on a big jar of good coffee (half price).
Had a lovely evening last night as we'd won tickets in a raffle to a charity comedy night. Not often we go out midweek now as we both work office hours, so it was really nice and we both love live comedy.
Had dinner before we went of smoked mackerel warmed through in the oven with the best homemade oven chips I've ever made and also a big ladleful of homemade ratatouille each - was sooooo good.Part time working mum | Married in 2014 | DS born 2015 & DD born 2018

Morning!
£3 spent on Tuesday night on YS stuff at Mr W's, a LOT of fruit & veg and two pots of yoghurt on special offer.
Going back there today for a refund as I was charged full price on an item also think I got a bit of mild food poisoning from their full price sushi. Was up from 3am y'day as I felt sick, very nasty.
Today is all back to normal and feeling ship shape! Hope you are all well. Some yummy ideas for dinners on here.
