Hi KM:

Yes you’re right that £300 would have tacked a third of that. I see where you are coming from.
I shall have to sit down and re-do my maths and see where I can go with this..

Yesterday we had spag bol for dinner and loads and loadsa cheese. We’re gonna have to have something with mince again today – cos that’s the only thing that’s left in the freezer!! I’m thinking Shepherd’s pie – cos we’ve got loadsa spuds left and a tin of peas. May pick up a handful of carrots on way home to add to it.

No movement on Ebay at all. The listings end Sat and Sun – so fingers crossed. Yesterday got DS the free Lego with the newspaper – so may go and get the paper today as well..also got a £4 refund from Primarni – top was too small. Also got DSs curtains finally sorted out (1.5 years without curtains!! :eek: ) they were in another room in the old place – but had no lining – my mate’s a seamstress so put lining on FOC!!

Back to work today and can feel a flu coming along..shall start ‘downing’ Vitamin C me thinks…

Yesterday on the way home I got DS the free Lego again - which he was well pleased with. The paper cost me 40p and then i spent 30p on two carrots! They went straight in my Shepherd;s pie.
I dunno what we'll have tonight. I'm really really brassic this month. I know for lunch DS'll end up with an omlette and corned beef. His dinner'll be fishfingers and mashed spuds. But what about the adults?? Need to raid the remnants of my freezer..

Lego? Newspaper? ..... I am intrigued now, mind sharing which newspaper it is? You're doing great, been following this thread for a few weeks now... how's things with the OH?

Hi Buzzbox: The offer is with the Mirror.Its on till month end I believe..

Last night I made chicken and peppers with rice. Today I’ve decided it’ll be lamb chops and cheesy cauli. Do I have the chops in though? Do I heck! I’ll need to meal plan for the next week me thinks..which’ll be inclusive of today.

Checked Ebay last night and I’ve got about 14 items on there. All are books bar 2 of DSs toys. Those two have 2 watchers each and hopefully I’ll get more cos I’ve added extra photographs to it. They’re both cash on collection so that’ll really help in building up my savings..

I am also going to be naughty and treat myself to a hot £1 drink at work today. :eek: It’ll almost blow my budget cos I’m meant to spend £5 max/month and I've spent £1.80 already – including this drink it’ll be £2.80. I’ve brought in sarnies etc for the day as I did yesterday so this’ll be my little treat !!

MORE IMPORTANTLY!!!:
I called the hospital yesterday and I've been given trhe all-clear. The pre-cancerous cells have been removed and the letters in the post. Shall have a 6-month check-up in the Nu Year but for now Its All Good!!! :dance:

Verbatim

Glad to hear your test results are good BG.

Hope the ebay does well too.

So pleased that you got the all clear -that's absolutely brilliant news and must be a huge weight off your mind.
