    Hi HI

    I've been reading through your diary over the past couple of weeks and just wanted to say hello. I am in awe of what you have accomplished so far, and to echo everyone else, you should be so proud of yourself. You have really inspired me too, I have cut my food budget and am going to dig out the slow cooker that's lurking at the back of my cupboard and start using it regularly - I can't wait to try the lava cake!

    No real update today.

    Not doing much, not spending anything. Weather seems nice so we are going to head out to the park with a picnic.

    In 2 days it marks the 3 month mark from when I first started this diary and wow there's been some changes!

    Thank you for all the replies :D

    Like I say I can only decorate once the kids are in bed and I've done my other jobs so it's taking longer than I would like :( Mum's back Wednesday though and the two older ones will probably go for a sleepover giving me more time to get it finished! I want to try and order the carpet on Friday so that's my aim.

    Slowcooker is the love of my life ;) Makes grocery budgets go a lot further!

    just a note on ebay HI, and anyone else.

    ebay used to keep the information on "watchers" and if an offer had come in (for best offer auctions obvs). to the seller only, but they are rolling it out, where the buyer (or viewer / potential buyer) can now see on the listing "there are 3 watchers on this item" and / or "there are 2 competing offers on this item" which SHOULD hopefully wind up the buyers to place better bids / offers and therefore higher prices. as a business seller i have noticed that my average price per item has gone up slightly and im putting it down to this newly visible info viewer-side!

    Thank eBay has lots of watches, 2 items with bids only 99p nothing to exciting :rotfl:

    DLA have sent a letter saying it is taking longer than usual bur reassured it is being looked at and after speaking to them it seems the people involved (its from 4 different health trusts) have sent a lot of info over. Fingers crossed.

    Income support should be done this week ( I hope I want to get the carpet :o)
