  • Rach I miss out on the YS talk as I don't have a Tesco :(. I think there is talk of one being built but I'll have to wait and see.

    Good morning all. Nice lazy lie in this morning although I have been awake since 7 to make sure DS got out to school. I have 4 whole days to myself :j. Today I have hospital. I am going to pop into the shops in Glasgow though and get a dressing gown for my best friend's birthday tomorrow. DD also needs black trousers to start her pub job tomorrow and she is skint ( surprise surprise) so guess who has the honour of buying the trousers. Going to get DS a couple of tops and hopefully that'll see him through the summer.

    Tomorrow I have an eye test and my (very honest) friend is coming with me to choose new specs. I know she will give me an honest opinion. We will then head fro a bite to eat and a catch up. I am then out for dinner tomorrow night for my other friend's birthday. On Thursday I am taking my wee Aunty for lunch and then carpet shopping for her and on Friday I have no plans :D. Great wee week ahead catching up will everyone.

    Am off for a shower and then heading out. Catch you all later xx

  • Loving the motivation.

    We have a bad yellow sticker habit. we feed it with 2 freezers.

    bought 10 reduced packs of belly pork yesterday.
    Trying to shift that debt!
  • 10 packs of pork!! That's practically a whole pig. Smashing :)

    I just spent £30.92 on approved foods. I have stocked up on kitchen towels, shower gel, handwash and tissues. I also bought a box of cake mix and 2 packets of skimmed milk as I have tonnes of flour to make bread and you need skimmed milk for that. It is very expensive in the shops so this was a great deal. I am however now about half way through my shopping budget for the month :eek:

    Post came in for DD there and I texted her to say I thought it was her tickets for T in the park. She told me to open them and oops it is 2 tickets for the Nutcracker for me for my birthday :o. Feel guilty that I have spoiled her surprise but excellent pressie for me :D
