1 two loads of washing line dried (my favourite thing in the whole world - Im so easily pleased!)

2 lovely walk with my lovely dog on such a lovely autumn day.

3 watching poorly DD who's not eaten for the last 3 days due to a horrible bug tucking into a bowl of HM minestrone soup.

4 quick and easy tea - jacket spuds, b/beans & cheese with steamed cabbage.

5 catching a glimpse of that horrible US programme about spoilt 16 yr old brats and their revolting 'sweet sixteen' parties and hearing my DD's (nearly 16) saying how disgusting it is that teens can behave like that and worse still that their parents let them! (Sorry, not OS but just had to get that off my chest!!).

4 Getting out DS1s old birthday badges and reminiscing about when he was two / three, etc., that was REALLY sweet
5 Getting all the washing in off the line ... and STILL no heating on in this house

1. Like many others on here, line drying the washing
2. Seeing the freezer full of fruit and veg from the allotment
3. Using my price book at the supermarket - helps me feel more in control.
4. Finding a good home for the rabbit hutch via freecycle.
5. Making a batch of chocolate muffins using soya flour as an egg substitute and so keeping the cost down to 50p per dozen muffins.

Maybe off topic so in the spirit of it all:o
1. Realising that my sofa blanket means I don't need the heating on and save money.
2. Seeing my partner off with the dinner from yesterday as his lunch.
3. Walking to work in the crisp morning.
4. Making soup.
5. Being helped by someone on here.... for example how do you use the soya flour as egg substitute and what's your recipe?:D

Hmmmm, not sure if I have five or not....
1. Taking DS a lovely walk in his buggy to local shops, instread of all getting into car and driving to shops 13 miles away!
2. Using yesterdays leftover pastry to make a chocolate tart (Jamie Oliver recipe book)- used half his amount of ingredients and got a lovely choc tart plus enough left over to fill two ramekin basins with the leftover mix- 3 days puddings now ready and they all have choccie in - updated- the ramekin puds were lush- am on a sugar high now lol!
3. Mending DS highchair and cleaning it thoroughly instead of watching tv!
4. More lovely nappies drying.
5. Just about to sweep the lounge floor instead of hoovering it.
