    I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    Morning Everyone!

    Today i am making sausage rolls and pasties for the boys to have for lunches.
    I am also going to plan some lunches for myself. I am only working 2 days next week, and the boys are away with their Dad from Thursday evening till Sunday afternoon. So hopefully a cheaper week!
