Morning
More than half way through March already! Time is just flying by.
We have snow againI have some pretty big important appointments this week. So crossing my fingers the snow won't disrupt public transport too much! I don't want to have to wait longer
Waiting isn't one of my good things.
We are having a quieter day today, think we all need it! Just pottering round the house, crafting and early baths etc.
Hope everyone is well

Snow day means no roast though :eek:
Smalls aren't too bothered, hmm unless I do a roast without the 'roast' maybe sausages? Not sure :rotfl:
We have moved the kitchen and living room furniture around and cleaned all the hidden corners. I need to take advantage when someone strong enough to move the furniture is hereSoon be back to doing it all on my own though!
Have soup to make too! We still have quite a few 'ready meals' in the freezer I made a few weeks ago. We seem to have loads of cheese to use (its already in the freezer so will keep) However there's about 7kg of grated in there now. DD use to have it everyday in some form in her lunches but now doesn't. Need to remember not to buy anymore!
Other than that the freezer is looking quite empty for us. Need to do a meat order again soon there isn't much choice left. Plenty of mince though!

Still trying to catch up with everyone.
Feeling a bit more in control today, food shop done £27. Two smalls in school, one taken to appointments. Roast on for dinner this eveningSmalls will be happy.
Have some things to print and make for more activities for youngest. Like to keep her busyWe made pancakes yesterday as part of the work sheets on her latest book.
No more spends planned this week, no major events happening. Countdown to school holidays is on and we cannot wait! Hope the weather has improved by then though :cool:

The snow has cleared here
Glad really we have some important appointments this week. Hoping for all good news!
Smalls had a good day at schoolJust catching up a bit more on here before dishing up dinner. I don't know how I've done it but I'm a day short on my meal plan :cool: Will have to have a look and sort that out.
I needed to buy a new tumble dryerSo the very small start to an emergency fund has nearly been wiped out again :mad: I don't think I'll ever get anywhere with this
So annoying!
