Sounds like your dress is going to be beautiful!

Thanks M2G - yes, I am so so so so so happy that he is committed to getting rid of the debts and is keeping to his budget!!

Ahh, Bob, you're so sweet. I am so excited about wearing my dress for a whole day - it's so pretty. Beads, tulle, train - ahhh!!!!!

Made beef stew for dinner tonight - MY GOD I make a good stew- even if I say so myself. Which I do.

I bought myself a new nicer dicer this week (the old one broke!) and I did not realise how reliant I am on using it - I actually love it so much. This new one made quick work of my swede for the stew - which I normally HATE chopping up.

It's 5 months today until the wedding - I am feeling really excited now, especially now we should be in our new house when we get married

What are you all having for dinner??

Beef stew???? All round to yours I say! What was your address again

Chez Bob we are having spaghetti with bacon, cheese, onions, carrots, and pesto. With salads.

Beef stew sounds good. We ended up having pancakes. Children's request and they helped to make them!

Pancakes for dinner - sounds amazing Honeysuckle

Tonight we have had shepherd's pie - half lentils, so tasty

I am really trying not to give in to the post-dinner chocolate cravings.

No news on the house as yet, but it's looking good for December bonus - which is paid in Feb. And frankly... I think I am going to struggle without it with everything that I have to pay for!!


How's everyone else's week going?

Hi Laura!

Post-any meal is when I always get the chocolate cravings - I really find it hard not to have something after every meal, even, I'm ashamed to say, occasionally breakfast But if the kids have been up in the night then you've got to get a bit of extra energy from somewhere, right?!

Shepherds pie sounds yummy. It was an easy tea in our house tonight because I was at work all day - so turkey stew from the freezer and HM bread with lots of butter Kids loved it and I was pleased because eldest was off school again with poorly throat so I'm hoping there is something medicinal in the turkey stew - they do say that don't they?

Great that you are looking to be on track for getting your bonus - it's amazing you are paying for a wedding, getting rid of your debt and buying a house all at once - wow!
