    No pennies for my pot today :( took back some lightbulbs we bought, to Mr T today but as I bought them on my card I had to have the refund to my card :(:(

    Oooo Sue, I just couldnt believe how bold he was :eek: there was no shufty round to see if anyone was watching it was just pick it up and walk out with it in his hand for all to see :eek:

    Well today I had my first attempt at making bread and butter pudding, it looks ok, and both kids liked it (but could I make it next time without the sultanas) but it looks very . . . stodgy I suppose is the term im looking for and having never made it before im not sure if thats how its supposed to look :think: anything that is stodgy in the middle always makes me think its undercooked :o The recipe did ask for 500ml of milk so maybe it was just an excess of fluid in it :think: or gluten free bread might not absorb as well as normal bread :think:

    If anyone happens to have a good bread and butter pudding recipe, or can confirm that IS how its supposed to look id be ever so grateful :o

    Well another no spends day for me again - but roll on payday next month as I will have a few hours from my night shifts to add to my car savings - I'm hoping to buy my car in may - after 3 years of finance I'm paying off the balance so hopefully then more ££££ for my pocket :T:T:

    Well tues is payday so hopefully lots more potting next month - I've really missed not putting in bits and pieces over the last couple of weeks. Even tho overall I've not been a potter for very long:rotfl::rotfl:

    Another £1 potted this weekend which I found laying around on the mantel piece - I have warned H2B that I will be potting anything I find!

    Signature updated!

    I have £13 in pound coins in my purse which I am hoping will last me the week as I am also doing the WSC and have promised myself I will not be visiting the cash machine until pay day a week tomorrow so am keeping this money in my purse for 'just in case' - I will be potting anything that is left at the end of the week on Sunday!

    Evening


    I had my long lie in this morning and then got up and joined WW again.


    Potted £2 too. Quite a productive day considering I have only been up for around 6 hours :D


    I am going on a belated Christmas shopping trip tomorrow but back to work on Tuesday.
