    Great news about the nomination :) Boo to the other stuff :( Awards ceremony is something good for you to look forward to, hopefully you'll feel brighter by then.

    I like the sound of beetroot rice. I hadn't thought of that. I like the sound of 20p too :)

    The bargains make such a difference to the food bill don't they?
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 800/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100

    They do make such a difference.
    Not normally lucky though.

    Havent posted in a while.
    Plodding on & still falling.
    House stuff seems to be at a standstill.
    Waiting for date for interior door to be replaced and one conservatory window.
    Awaiting second quote for second part of fence.
    It is not going to be pretty that I do know.
    However as it wont last winter it must be done.
    I have a shortfall of money available to pay for it all.
    We shall see.
    I am not loosing weight.
    I have a sore throat.

    Anyway, happy Friday all :)

    Yes, otherwise you don't want your neighbours to be saying:
