  • Didn’t do a great deal in the end today. Housework and shopping at Mr T’s is about the sum of it. Used 10p off a litre voucher for diesel so about £3 saved. DH bought me a rose for valentine’s day using that same £3 :rotfl:.

    Grandma should be home by the weekend :T.

  • Won £25 on the lotto last night :T. Spent some of it taking the kids trampolining and then bought pizza for their tea. DH and I had pasta as I’m still hoping for a loss on the scales again tomorrow.

    Also received the £50 cheque I’ve been waiting on from a survey site :D. Will bank that straight into Florida fund. Almost at cash out on two other sites too :j.

    Can’t believe it’s Friday tomorrow. Quickest half term ever :(.

    No, this one was P0pulus. I’m at 3625 on YouGov, so still need 1375 to cash out!

    Lost 2lbs today :T. DH lost 4lbs and is exactly at his Target weight :j.

    Very annoyed tonight. My poor friend went to visit her daughter’s grave (my Goddaughter), to find it absolutely covered in tonnes of earth by the grave diggers creating a new grave nearby. She rang to complain and they laughed at her and hung up :eek::mad:. So disrespectful and just no need. For the sake of a few more steps they could’ve put the earth on a patch of grass to the side of M’s grave. Disgusting behaviour!
