    Well done on the food wombling Miss EP!

    I have £2 egg sales (quiet, as it's the Easter break and I've not been out much) and another 14 collected for home use = £1.40.

    I'm sticking with the real deal as Creme eggs make me feel icky...they're too big, too sweet and too much. They are on a par with the dreaded chocolate orange. The smell of one of those turns my stomach._pale_

    The skids usually buy an orange chocolate egg for DH at Easter, so I'm not tempted to snorf it.

    Now mint chocolate is a different matter....:rotfl:

    Thanks - I'm definitely with you on the MINT (although I'm dairy-free but love DF Mint chocolate - Yummy). x

    How kind of you Florence it is a teeny bit of a cop out because I'm not totally Debt free, but as it is around £350 now and I have more in savings. I decided to go with that and stop myself feeling so under pressure :)

    Well done Bobarella - that is such FANTASTIC news. Well done you. You must be floating on air - celebratory drink??? xxx

    Hello Miss Empty Piggy

    Welcome back. Sounds like a very busy time for you. I seem to have you down with a higher score in March than you now have in your signature for April. Am I going mad?

    Bob

    Oh most definitely not - You probably have got it right and I've messed up. I was keeping a note in my bullet journal but during the house renovations we are having to move furniture etc around as we are having a total rewire. It's been an absolute nightmare but it's done now. Just got to decorate and sort out the plumbing and central heating - so not much left to do lol. I think I just thought I hadn't done anything last month so thought I'd best go with that. May I ask what you have got me down for for March? Many thanks for keeping me right. xxx
