  • Hi all!

    Another couple of days gone in a blur of overeating and over spending :o. Have also had some long doggie walks though.

    Have got myself in a bit of a muddle with money though, with being paid some stuff early due to Bank Holidays etc :(. Had to borrow £50 from MiL to cover everything due out on Tuesday. Will pay her back Friday. Hate it when I get it 'wrong' :mad:.

    I've been the same. Thought I had a fair bit of money left over but after calculating properly have a lot less than first thought. It must be the time of year!

  • Happy New Year all :beer:. I hope 2017 brings you everything you desire Xx

    Went to Mum's for a buffet lunch yesterday, so a NSD achieved and we were all fed for free :T. Still feeling the pinch money wise, so I'm intending on a lot more NSDs.

    Back on the diet wagon so will get back to meal planning too. Need to do a freezer/cupboard inventory and go from there to keep the costs down this month. It's DS2's birthday soon so any money saved is good money!
