    Brilliant thank you, to quite one of the big supermarkets every little helps!
    Bad day money wise as my car is losing power and garage can't see it til next Wednesday and the pet rabbit managed to break some nails this morning causing lots of blood, an emergency vet visit and a £39 bill.

    Been reading not posting for a few days while I worked through some stuff. Finally left work and have a heap of stuff to sell and more from decluttering. Have spent very little and walked everywhere to save driving the dodgy car.
    Today is loud music and cleaning time, just me and DS as DD is away, and I already miss her

    Home today with a new laptop from my mum and a pile of chocs from my dad. Nothing else done apart from relaxing but a long to do list to get through this week

    A day off money making and money saving today, just needed a break from thinking about it. Some tidying, some stitching and knitting and general pottering around, anything that was free lol. Tomorrow is sorting out the food, menu planning, batch cooking and baking.

    Mass tidy up in progress after an amazing nights sleep in daughters room because she's way and hubby was raising the rafters with snoring! On target to have finished cleaning/clearing/cooking by 2pm in time for rugby on the TV.

    Loitering rather than posting recently, had a lot of stuff on including flu but on the mend now, just dizzy spells left over to finish off with. Money wise, no idea tbh, have had to rely on hubby sorting stuff so we're probably skint and no money making either. By end of the week I hope to have stayed awake long enough to work out what's going on and start again.
