Thanks they are fine now but really skinny(look starved ) but it is due to
all the work they did just to sleep... Sleep is not rest if you fight to breath
every breath... I am glad my name entertained your OH Is he winning?(PS3)
Wow that is a real treat to own!!

Hi, no he just lost, he was playing someone on the internet (PES or FIFA) they were Brazil and he was France. :rotfl:

Now off to bed. I will need a lie in tomorrow, at least it is Saturday - it was a long hard week at work.

Well I happily strolled round Asda for my shopping and spent about £14. I got loo rolls, washing liquid and some whoopsies.
I then got home and had to get DH to open the door for me because I was laden.
I was really looking forward to my glass of wine and feet up and he says "Where are you supposed to be?"
"?"
"Work just rang, here's your top your trousers are in td, I told them you'd just popped out"
":eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: ! How the heck did I forget I was supposed to be at work?"
If I'd known I was supposed to be in I would have considered ringing in sick because I feel so full of cold tonight.
So I was 45 mins late for work (hence not knowing the exact amount I spent- just hope my purse made it into the house from clamped under my arm).
I was absolutely mortified. It's been so busy tonight though that I've only just been able to come on break so I don't feel as bad as I can only fit in 45 mins.
Oh the shame though! I've never done it before!

Hi All

Put me down for the March Grocery shop.

Since joining this challenge i am really careful of what i spend in the supermarkets. My food bill has been cut in half just because i think about what i am buying and don't waste so much food.

It's all down to you guys and the support and advise on the forums - Thanks:o

For February I optimistically guessed a budget of £110 for us (2 adults, 3yo, 7 yo) actual cash spend was £107... yipeee!, but on top of that I used clubcard vouchers which would've meant it was £141. In March i won't have the vouchers so will set the budget at £140....fingers crossed

Hubby is going hunting with some of his men from work next weekend so I am hopefull of some free meat this month and have bought a cookbook from a charity shop called,"the sporting wife-game and fish cooking" in preparation.The free game will help my totals this month.
Once we have the dogs properly trained up to retrieve it will be a more regular thing.
