Comments

  • Didn't fill the car up, I have a 5p off per litre coupon for Tesco tomorrow.

    Only spent a fiver on a tin of Roses for my Mum. Normally spend £20 on flower delivery.

    I am going to the pub later and intend to only spend £30 maximum. Normally it is nearer £50.

    Will probably get takeaway but not an expensive one.
    £2 coin/ £46

    Hi everyone,
    Happy Mother's Day! Today I have:
    • line dried my washing for about a couple of hours, then got some exercise sprinting outside to take it back in when I saw it was raining!
    • had lunch cooked for me (mealplanner lunch) by dd1
    • had a NSD, but I will have to get some milk at some stage
    • did a bit more tidying in the yard, can't say I see a whole lot of difference yet:rotfl:
    • will settle down to paperwork this evening
    That's about it. Nice lazy day today. I hope everyone is having a great day!
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Not very much today but have:

    Filled up with petrol at Tescos with 5p off each litre
    Bought mother in law's present from Boots using Pigsback voucher
    Listed a nintendo wii game on ebay
    I will make risotto for dinner, which should also do for a couple of lunches during the week
    Instead of taking mother in law out for lunch, she suggested she cooked for us, she loves cooking a roast for all her children but doesn't get to do it very often, so in a way it was a treat! If a little cheeky of us, but we did cook dessert for her
    Turned heating off when it came on earlier

    Think that's it.
