    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    I was quite worried my grocery budget was a bit high in comparison to some on here, but I really don't see where I can cut it anymore? So its nice to see someone say its okay.

    Monday morning it is :D

    A shorter week in school this week as they have a day off on Friday for training. Although Friday is the day youngest nursery teachers do the home visit so no lay in here :rotfl:

    Cooker delivery should be arranged today :D Excited for that one!

    Just having a coffee and catching up while I wait for the washer then I have no plans and no cleaning :eek: I've got it all done, no I didn't wet the bed this morning ;) OH was like a herd of elephants getting ready for work at 4am though! :mad:

    So today will just be pottering, Lasagne in the slow cooker for dinner tonight and curry is prepped in the other sc for tomorrow from the chicken from yesterdays roast. I will always find something to clean but it feels nice being done for 9.30 maybe I should do it early more often!

  • Yay to the cooker delivery! That will make life a bit easier :)

    Well done you for getting all the cleaning done already. I was wide awake at 5.30 this morning so instead of going back to sleep for an hour I decided to get up and do a bit of housework & get a load of washing done. I feel very smug now ;)

    It was less than 24 hours! I was surprised! Paypal always takes 72 hours for me when I withdraw from selling etc so I expected circle to be similar.

    Another school day over :D

    Dinner is on and kids are playing out, the weather has been nicer than I thought it would be.

    Mum has asked if I want to go away next May with them. Taking all my will power to say no I can't afford too :( :cool:
