    lol - we're both the same age (46) and as I'm menopausal I should be the one with the strops! ;):D


    Still, the kids and I have achieved a decent amount of stuff and the small ones enjoyed watching the hailstorm earlier :) Blue skies and fluffy clouds now!

    That's just what Mum says when kids are naughty.

    We had hail too. It was crazy.

    Back on the chain gang and working again. DH took DD1 out with the Plops so I could do planning.

    Other than that, washing, re seeded the lawn, spent too much in Mr S.

    Bought the kids Easter eggs today. What a tightwad!

    They didn't notice, they have so many.

    Are you tempted by their Easter eggs?
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Not at all. Sweet things are not my main problem...that would be cheese...and wine.

    Good question!

    Back in the day, I'd have voted for the chocolate. Last month, I'd have voted for the cheese. Then I got a food intolerance to *all* cheese, so I vote for the wine :):):)
