Morning all

An early start for me today. I'm moving earlier than a work day !!

It's DD's 16th birthday so wanted to make her breakfast etc before she heads to school. Last 5 hours of her Art exam today :eek: so figured she deserved bacon sarnies

Wish me luck please. I have a hearing at 10am for my divorce - hopefully no surprises coming, but we both have to be there Going to cheer myself up with a trip to the Archives to get lost in some genealogy for a couple of hours afterwards. Going to do some research for someone in Australia who can't get access to the Parish registers. Should take my mind off things :rolleyes:
Then splashing some cash on a ridiculously expensive coffee at one of the fancy cafe bars in the Peace Gardens. May even trot round the Millenium Garden for a bit.

Catch you later

Good luck and :grouphug: Kitty

Happy birthday for your daughter Kitty and good luck with her exam and your appointment (((hugs))).

Cant wait for the May challenge to start. Mine started on Sat and I only spent £40 compared to the usual £60. Its a five week month so hope I can do it for £250 and not the budgetted £300. Wish me luck!

Hiya
I don't do online shopping either (although I'd be lost without online banking!) However, I discovered the other day that mysupermarket.com have the facility to print your shopping list on there. So you can go in, add stuff to a "trolley", compare it to other supermarkets and then print it out. It comes out with pack sizes or weights on there too which means that when we pop into Lidl or Aldi it's really easy to see whether the stuff is actually cheaper or if it's just a smaller packet! Sorry - rambling...

Hi
I checked out mysupermarket.com on Saturday for the first time, didn't know you could print out list but I already had done one anyway, but it was very useful for comparing prices. Saved 74p on Quorn sausages - 100p in Asda 1.74 in Tesco. (still no pound sign) Got OH interested as well when he saw savings to be made. Sure I will be using this regularly now.

Happy Birthday to Kitty's DD. Sweet Sixteen.
