    Morning Diary,

    Happy Saturday!!! Got a busy but pottering kind of a day today.
    DD2 is off to her friends for the evening, DH is going out and DD1 has a friend over from 2.

    DD1s bedding is just in the washer and then I've got another 2 loads to do... don't know where it all comes from :eek:.

    I also need to pop to Mr Al's for a couple of things we forgot the other day. Also the farmshop for sausages for tomorrows tea. Could also do with a top up of petrol so will get that whilst I'm out and about too. Looks like a spendyish day too :cool:.

    I have my friend coming round tonight and were having a pizza and chips which is already ready in the freezer.

    Think thats about all really. The fog has finally lifted!!! Still cloudy but at least we can see the top of the street now.

    Hope all ok x

    Just noticed my post above says takeaway for tea... this should read fakeaway! It was sooooo delicious and DH got 3 portions for work lunches.

    I did think that was unlike you? Recipe please.


    Meant to add that if you do buy Fuschias look for 'Hardy' ones as they will survive the winter.

    Morning Redo,

    Its just the Mayflower sauce which you can pick up from home bargains. I just add cooked chicken, onions and peas and then serve with homemade egg fried rice. So tasty and such a good but healthy substitute!

    Thanks for the tip re the hardy fuchsias.

    Just done my meter readings, we have just dipped into debit with 2 weeks left to go :eek:. I can't believe we still have the heating coming on in April! Hopefully this will change next week as the weather is meant to pick right up.

    Afternoon Diary,

    Had a lovely weekend thank you all!!

    Enjoyed my pizza and catch up with friend last night and DD enjoyed having her friend over.
    DD2 is still with her friend but I'm expecting them both back any minute really and her friend is staying for tea.

    So today been to N3xt to collect a parcel of some crop tops for DD1. Bought my favourite reed diffuser whilst I was there too :cool:, £4 spent and it could have been a NSD but never mind. At least my hallway smells devine :rotfl:

    One of my 3bay items is just about to sell for £4.20 at least. Chuffed with this as its a dress DD2 has hardly worn and only cost me £10. The other item which is an old pair of DD1s football boots has a couple of watchers but no bids as yet.

    I think I may have secured us a lower rate on the mortgage aswell, just need DH to complete his part. Im not counting my chickens just yet as it all seems a bit too easy for me!! Basically because were not changing the term or the amount its seems straightforward and should be sorted for our next payment :money:. It will save us over £100 a month which will be brilliant :money:. Will keep you posted.

    Think thats about all, hope all ok. Back to work tomorrow boooooooooo xx
