Re firelighters, am sure they can also be made by collecting fircones & dipping them in something, but can't recall what.

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Milliemummy.

Back at work today:

Leftover pizza for lunch
YS pasta from freezer for dinner
Early night, I'm so very tired!

it is a bit cold in the house in some sections so instead of turning the entire heating system up a few degrees, I will use the space heater we have and just heat the room in which I am staying.

We will eat all of our meals from home (except dh's lunch). I have a menu plan in place for meals for the rest of the week and there should be no more restaurants in our immediate future.

had to buy a gift for a friend's new baby...saved 50% with sales and coupon codes and rewards.

Hugs to you Milliemummy really hoping everything will be ok soon.

Ally -Glad your partner is on the mend now.

Foxgloves -so what is the reason for the gas increase?

Ziggy - hope the work goes well.

FVD - Thanks for the bike advice. I will definitely kick off if needs be but I also think we have made a mistake on the type of bike we bought. We just didn't think we'd be doing this many miles per day so it's like buying a Robin reliant to do John o groats to lands end better quality bike needed really.

Long day today. Started with some awesome luck as I found a fiver in the street. My first note since starting the roadkill challenge in november. Takes my total for Feb to £6.55.

I cleaned the bathroom and kitchen at my shop which took me from 9.30 to 2pm. That included doing 2 fridges inside and out and a lot of cupboard scrubbing. It is starting to look better now. Husband will be going there tonight after work poor man to do another 3 hours of floor laying. May have found a good handy man who says he can put skirting boards on for £10 per hour plus materials so I think I will book him for the weekend.

I really haven't done much of use in the debt free ways today. Took after school snacks for son and packed lunch for me and husband. I did buy a coffee for me and chips and a sausage for son using my free fiver though. Why not!

It has been a NSD apart from cleaning supplies I bought on company card.

Have a good night all.

Good morning.

Not deserted you, just having a hard time at present...my dad was rushed into hospital and is quite poorly, was there all yesterday. DS2 and his friend being absolute stars running around for me and DS1 is going to clean up my dads house today so that will be a worry less.

Also think my job is on the line, not very good timing at all.

So today:

BLD from stores
Get to the hospital and see what is happening
Hoover
Whatever life throws at me...am totally living minute to minute at present.

Hope you all have a nice day. Will pop in when I am able.

Sending big hugs and best wishes, try not to be too hard on yourself either

Firefighters - toilet roll holder filled with fluff from dryer :-D can also make logs from newspaper. In the pub where I work I just use small twigs and paper and once it's going then build it up (we have firefighters but I save them for other people - some of the younger ones struggle to lit the fire with a full box of firefighters haha)
