    Hi sammiboo, and everyone :hello: :hello: :hello:

    Sorry I'm not about much, but I have been 'keeping it low' on account of payday being on Friday, and I now have £4.30 to last me till then, so I have made the ultimate in sacrifices, this week - No Chocolate. :eek: :eek:

    I had an interview, on Monday, at Tesco and had to go back, yesterday, for my driving assessment - which I passed. :T

    Now I must wait for Tesco to let me know. It's £1.60 an hour more than ASDA, but there were eight other candidates for the same job. Oh well - will just have to wait and see.

    By the way - what's the story with these 'new' stars? :confused:

    I spent £90 in Tesco this morning :wall:
    I do now have a freezer full of good 'meal making' food and a huge pan of home made chilli bubbling away on the hob.

    It's amazing what a difference meal planning makes...I frequently used to spend £60 per week at the supermarket but having unpacked it find there's nothing really to make a meal out of!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
