    Hello everyone. Been a hectic couple of weeks at work and then had sick bug so not been around much so this is a bit of a summary! Have been trying to keep up the good work such as meals from stores, packed lunch for work (except this week as not felt like eating!), lots of line drying of washing (but like Ziggy its cba with regards to ironing it!!) and finding things to sell. Managed 7 NSD's - not sure if that's good or bad?!? Nearly finished Couch to 5k too!!:A

    Was quite strict with Easter eggs - just small ones this year keeping to a budget of £10.

    Roll on April - aiming to be better at meal planning this month..........:doh:

    Best wishes to you all. :)

    Thank you CCL for starting us this morning and wishing you a happy birthday :bdaycake:

    Ally hoping everything went okay for you today and OH actually looks after you & dosen't fuss you to much :cool:

    Today has been dry and mainly sunny, I've managed to wash and dry 4 loads on the line :D

    I've enjoyed my ready made meals today, they have saved me loads of time but also metal energy motivating myself to sort out meals.

    The children are recovering, slowly but recovering :)

    OH paid today so we had an email chat about where our money is heading this month.

    Back in the autumn we thought we would need to replace OH's car very quickly so we started looking around at both cars and how we were going to finance this, by some miracle his car is still going, over 250k miles on the clock, and we have managed to save nearly £8,500 :eek: :D:eek::D we have been constantly looking round for suitable vehicles and we now feel confident that if the worst should happen to his car we can replace it tomorrow from savings :j

    I have baked bread, a cake and some buns but I feel the day has got away from me.

    Tomorrow we have an early dentist appointment then straight of to a HE art workshop, I'll try and pop into tomorrow evening with an update and to see how you are all getting on.

    In honour of CCL I have decide to post in colour :)
