    Oh dear

    we forgot MIL's birthday she lives in london and only see her once a month

    Had to send flowers and chocs which weren't budgeted for but managed to get a basket of plants and a box of chocs for £33 delivered today and got 3.30 cashback so not too bad

    FunBrum - I meant to ask (being nosey) but is your signature correct for your 4k challenge? I've spent more than twice that already and we aren't quite half way through the year yet! :eek: If that's right enough then wow! I am in awe of your budgeting.

    Never say never, have you SEEN what medical science can achieve? It's not too late yet, you know! Fifty is the new 30!(And I'm sticking to that theory from not until my 50th) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    The course is called Cook it! in N.Ireland. I have just finished one today and it is a brilliant course, it runs for 6 weeks (and there is a creche provided and all the ingredients). It is run through our local Surestart, if you have Surestart in your area it is worth giving them a call, but it is not exclusive to Surestart they will run it in any group if you find a tutor:D

    This might apply better to mainland uk
