    We are taking back the DGdawgs to DD2 after five weeks of keeping them. We have planned the trip to stop at a dive cafe in a tiny town that's on the way. Fantastic renowned steak fingers!!!!! Celebrated far and wide by fried steak finger lovers everywhere. :T:T:T

  • Ay up Pipster,

    Saw this article online, not too sure if we've cracked the waste/hunger issue unless we do this at every event where food is served, or whether we don't have the waste in the first place and there is plenty of affordable food for all.............................

  • Hey lovlies, not quite caught up with myself yet. hope you're all good.

    Working Mon-Wed this week and charity stuff in between.
    Swedish shop on Thursday maybe
    Friday a day off from everything
    NO weekend plans. yay.

    Head and laptop been buried in sand for weeks now. Got that out and need to check banks etc.

    Spoke to both childers free yesterday/skype/fb :) both are good.

    Meal plan looks a bit like this

    Brekkie - porridge and hazel nut milk. Which for those of you who know me, feels a bit cannibalistic. :P
    Lunch - salads with fridge contents today its ham. For himself its spag bog in small portions, x 4 thank goodness he'd eat it every day.

    Teas.

    Mon - Chicken wraps
    Tues - He's biking, I'm gym, soup after likely
    Wed - Leftovers - rice and other bits in freezer
    Thurs - meatballs, courgettes and other veg
    Fri - omlettes if the girls provide.

    Finally wrote invoice for wombles for july - whoops.
    Have a conference on 24th Aug need to get time off for that
    Also there's a promotional post at work (but full time) so I've asked for details of it to ponder, we'll see. Its likely much less money and many more hours.

    Best walking day last week I got 15 miles. WOOP.

    Have a great one, and promise I'll catch up later. We had visitors all weekend from Englandshire, was fun catching up.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:

    Less money and more hours doesn't sound like an ideal job change to me! :eek:
