    apple muncher - Thanks for running the March challenge.
    Yesterday was a spend day. Had the hairdresser around to do my hair. Got a few treats also. Walked to and from the park - did walked the park run. Also walked to and from the local bus garage as they had some buses which stopped running in 1979.
    Went to my Mum's grave today. When I came back went for 2 laps round the park. Changed my route just slightly. Going to spend the rest of the day chilling out, but going to do a small amount of housework.
    Still using up what I have already in. Been mindful about waste.

    NSD 17/15

    We didn't go out as there is a football match on here and we really didn't want to get caught in the crowds. Not the nicest experience.

    Thank you, Apple for the challenge. I did not too badly. I love these challenges. They focus the mind. I won't be able to take part in April as we are on holiday for most of the month. But in true MSE fashion we will have a wonderful time without wasting money.

    Have a lovely Mother's Day everyone and good luck with April.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    Today I am grateful for a good session at kids klub, for dh getting hold of what he thinks should be what he needs to mend the wash machine, for a chat with some people in Spanish, for dd sorting out some of her books, for taking photos for gumt for after our hols, for the sun coming out, for dh cooking my tea, for sorting out the failing hems on my work trousers.


    Thank you to all turtles who have journeyed through March with me. See you in April!

    Thankyou apple, for a fabulous March thread.
    I confess to being a bit neglectful of my finances over the month - but only because I was so busy for much of it, and things changed again with the debt/legals and work has been tough.
    However, I have survived it and have enjoyed a peaceful weekend with my family.
