    :j We're all going on a summer holiday :j
    Have been awake since 4.30.Just like a big kid going to the seaside :D
    Have cleaned house top to bottom...its a compulsion before holidays...changed bed, fed cats, switched everything off and now waiting for DH to surface :rolleyes: I am taking the laptop in case I can use it somewhere free. Never done this before so I'm off to the techie board to see how you do it.
    News is very sad about Cyclone disaster and makes me thankful our weather is not so dramatic. Will give a bit of our holiday money if I see a collection.

    I will be back next week and will confess holiday spends and (hopefully) bargains from car boots and charity shops.:wave:

    Today will have to be a spending day. I will have to spend about £10 to top up shopping so that it lasts until we go away next Tuesday;) Also need to add some money to my sealed pot in lieu of electricity spends.Will be doing my bulk buying and batch cooking when I get back and aiming to last the next 6 months on a £350 -400 spend;) and hopefully beat some of the price increases. I am going to do a price book and will then compare costs at the start and finish of the challenge.

    Doing a couple of hours babysitting tonight so will have another £20 to add to my interest beater challenge:D which is adding up nicely.

    Mumzy - Enjoy your swimming with DS:j
