    Just want to say you've inspired me to get on with the garden myself. I'm sick of nagging Mr SA to do it so time for me to take charge :)

  • Good Afternoon Diary,

    Wow guys I have switched my laptop on today to catch up with you lot and I am truly wowed by the lovely messages of support that I have had! My friends, family and colleagues in my real life are fantastic as are the ones in my money saving life! Love you lot :D. Heres to all you fantastic ladies taking control and getting stuff done.

    Me and the kids went to the panto last night and it was absolutely amazing. Part of me felt a little sad that he wasn't there as he used to love going and then the other part thought sod that he made his bed and its his problem that he's now not here to enjoy it with us. The girls laughed their heads off and it confirmed that spending such a lot on the tickets was absolutely the right thing to do!

    I have been shopping this morning and spent £80 between the farmshop and Mr Al's. It wouldn't have been that much but we have 5 guests coming for tea on Tuesday so I've bought chicken and beef and went a bit overboard on the puddings!!! The leftovers will be well used into other meals though :money:. My freezer is jam packed and we will not starve in January put it that way!!!!

    Just done my gas and electricity readings and £13 in credit. They wanted to knock my DD down but I've left it at the same for when it gets a little colder over winter.

    DD1 is making burgers for tea which I'm pleased about. They're always very nice and it saves me cooking.

    Think thats all for now xx

  • Morning Diary,

    Wow I am up so early this morning, think my cold is moving into my sinuses... hope it doesnt end in an infection :eek:.
    Have tossed and turned pretty much all night which is annoying but hey ho!

    No real plans for today other than tidy up a bit before my sister comes over later on. If I can be bothered I might take the tree down but if not I will do it on Wednesday.
    Ex is coming round at 11am to take the girls out for a bit. I can't see DD1 leaving the house though!

    Still got another week off work and to be honest I would just like to get back to work and routine now... you will probably never hear me say this again!

    Hope everyone enjoys NYE 2018! xx

    I think most people are itching to get back to normal routine now. A couple of days in and we'll all be moaning about it again :)
