    And should I add a 'garden spend'?

    Don't get me wrong I think I know where its going, and I think its mainly into the garden/galavanting and the kids.

    Yes. Or SELL the kids........

    Dearest Greying, they're too involved in studies to hear you so I'll ponder that one quietly. Just let me say this I'm so thankful I'm in Scotland with only subsistence to worry about and not fees.

    (Sorry my neighbours!)

    I notice you didn't encourage reducing galavanting or garden spends :)

    Whilst I remember.

    Sowed

    Carrots
    Peas - three types
    Beans - french and runner
    Courgettes (a gazillion, don't let me moan about gluts)
    Beetroot
    Spring onions and bunching onions
    Swiss chard
    Nasturtiums several thousand.

    Not done leeks yet, I'm in two minds but they do fill a hungry gap.

    Cuttings of nepeta went into the greenhouse too and wild garlic from the window boxes (babies a month or so ago) now in garden. Remind me when I've been overrun, I ACTUALLY planted it. But I tried some wild garlic pesto and it was lush I tell you.

    Basil also planted as seeds, I know its late but they'll come.

    Its still cold here so I'm not chastising myself too much for my tardiness.

    Greenhouse is now full.

    :)

    Add shampoo and conditioner and dishwasher tablets to the shopping list.

    Well that's comforting to hear :rotfl:

    I, on the other hand, have been out running in a short sleeved t shirt :D But I was freezing once I'd actually stopped *running* so I'm not sure it counts :D
