Mumzyof2,

I don't include cigarettes in my budget, I do write down how much I spend on them a week (hoping it'll give me the kick I need to stop....still waiting:eek:).

mumzyof2

I have decided that if i do buy cigs then i wont count them in this challenge.. I will go through my reciepts and deduct how much i spent off my total for this month. I am hoping to quit tomorrow..well i have zero money to get any with so guess i will have too

For anyone interested in a small holding it is worth joining one of the many clubs around the country. You don't have to have land already and it would be really good preparation. I leanrt skills 20 years ago that I could still use today.

I can second this.My parents are part of a local smallholders association and i regularly join them for egg shows, annual shows.They have visits to some really interesting places.They have guest speakers on practical stuff and a Friday night craft club where the ladies gossip over knitting, crocheting, cross stitch or just a cup of coffee while the gentlemen retreat to their play sheds outside .They're not all oldies either and their get togethers can be great fun.The knowledge between them can be an advantage too.

sophiesmum swimming was brilliant. I was holding my DS and i let go without him knowing and he floated by himself He wouldnt move his arms to make him move ..so he was shouting for me to get him once he realised he could not move to reach me Going to go next week..its only £3 and i dont pay for DS
