    I had completely forgotten about my 20minute tip

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Weekly shop done and invested a few of my Nectar points in a T-shirt for Mr E and a top for me.Total spend on clothes 25p - this makes me very happy.:)

    I love knowing how people who are really good with money actually do it, and now, it appears, I have some insight. Thank you!

    Healing vibes for Pigpen, Ionafan, Serena and everyone else feeling under the weather.

    WMx3, RoD part-dusted *yuk* and fabric shop probably found for OH's sofa rebuild and recovering. He's been wanting this for at least a decade, so that's real progress. Now to get him to make the actual decision - he really can't take a decade over that.
    Better is good enough.

    This morning I have a beautiful black eye developing with subtle shades of purple and yellow, and I am mostly keeping my right eye shut whilst typing as it's still too difficult to focus with both eyes for more than a minute or so.

    Ow, hope that heals up soon. Lots of arnica. I've still got a tender knee from that fall in the uni car park a couple of weeks ago, clearly nasty goblins are lurking about tripping us up.

    Only a bit of fluttering the last day or two but Mr N is making up for me. In my defense, I had an assessment to do yesterday which whacked me out; all that thinking!
    This morning seems the BD was hiding under the bed as I didn't even get up to go to zumba; insane, as I love zumba and felt great when I'd gone back last week after such a break. Anyway finally got up, hung out 2 loads of washing Mr N had put on then we went out to so some gardening as it is very spring-like today. At last my sanity returned. Blooming brain; who'd have one? Think mine needs re-programming.

    Mr N took his mum to town yesterday (to get out of my way while I was assessing) and bumped into horse's new owner and children. Pleased to hear that the 15 yr old took him for a ride already and loves him; she also sent me a photo of her kissing him and has made it her FB photo. It makes it so much easier to know he will be well looked after and loved. So I should banish the BD which makes me unable to cope with change, and focus on how lovely the garden will be now we've got time to do it.

    Slow cooker - not a roast, but I did gammon at Christmas in the slow cooker and it was lovely. I put loads of water in and actually I think I brought it to boil then changed the water, as salt can make things dry out. The only meat I've "roasted" in it is chicken and that was ok.

    Mr N announced he will make more coconut macaroons this eve, as he only used half a can of condensed milk for my valentine's ones, so feels he should use it up!!!! I won't complain till I get on the scales.

    Not sure if I have decluttered much today but I'm sure several buckets of weeds and 2 unwanted berberis shrubs must count.

    Off to start writing up the assessment then have a shower now.

    Narco, I'm glad the horse is settled and loved but be kind to yoruself it is still a big adjustment.

    Been to town with DS3 as he needed a new school bag, choosing something new like that is difficult for him, have brought two home to try books in.

    Played a couple of board games with DS3 and sorted out a couple for the CS bag.

    I should have gone to visit my mother but I've run out of time, I'll ring her in a minute and I need to clean the bathroom but have ran out of GUAG, I think it is my cold slowing me down.
