Morning.

Not updated for a few days, naughty me. Everything ticking along ok just seem to be very busy and being back at work i'm finding i'm really tired in an evening.

Went out last night to a charity do with friends, I drove which kept costs down, spent £5 on ticket, £2 onraffle tickets and £5 on a round of drinks. Won a raffle prize as well which was a bottle of wine that i'm keeping for DH birthday night away, very posh hotel but I looked at the menu and £30 upwards for a bottle of wine :eek:, we will have this in the room and save the pennies.

Ebay sales going well but I've fallen behind with surveys so need to catch up with those over the weekend.

Decided i'm not going grocery shopping over the weekend going to make it eek out until Monday when I go and pick glasses up and will do a shop then. Did have a veg box delivery yesterday which has helped and I've hidden crisps from DS so that there is enough for packed lunches on Monday.

Today DH has gone to do a days work for his friends company, so extra pay as he took today as hols from main Job, DD is at work and DS spent last night camping out with cadets so no doubt he will not be human when he gets home and will spend the day sleeping, so a nice quiet home day for me .

Funnily enough DS hasn't mentioned no crisps in the house and he is a crisp monster, he did make a big bag of microwave popcorn to munch on last night though.
I'm constantly having to find new hiding places for crisps, choc etc as DS always manages to find whatever is hidden, although I've hidden the crisps inside the bread maker.

Morning.

Happy Sunday morning for me as DS football match has been cancelled which means I havn't got an 18 mile round trip to stand on a wet muddy field, in the freezing rain . Petrol saved as well .

Rst chicken for tea and bread and milk out of freezer as well, so all meals from stores, will also make an apple crumble to use up some past there beat apples. Need to decide on meals for Mon,Tue& Wed and do a shopping list, Thursday is DH birthday and he wants to go with kids for tea out at local pub as we are away Friday.
