    I hope both those are going on the compost heap so you can convert your free exercise into free compost!

    Lol nope! The grass cuttings go in the green bin and the rabbit poo goes in the black bin - no room for a compost bin in our garden, less than postage stamp size :(

    today I have...
    • not been great spend wise but I have bought a yum yellow sticker beef/guinness pie from sainsburys for dinner
    • checked internet banking
    • got a strategy together for paying off that last pesky credit card (three paydays to go and about 4500 on it I think, will be tough!)

    Ooo I didnt think it was that long, I always look at Andans and wish I had that much energy lol. This thread keeps me motivated really, though I have left a few of mine for tomorrow as I am shattered, will maybe look at my budget but will leave the ebay and seeds till the morning.

    Hi Sophiesmum, Cleosmum, Andan and all,

    The big day arrived - my darling son's 18th!! I have been emotional all day. I am wierd like that.

    Spent loads on balloons, banners, cake etc. But he's only 18 once! Party on Sat so more to spend on drink and barbecue food. Should be a good one tho.:beer:

    Other than that, today I have:

    Been at work all day so missed out on sunshine, but less opportunity to spend!!
    Bought banners and balloons in cheap card shop (but bought huge 18 helium balloon in expensive card shop - worth it though, he loved it, and it will do for the party too).
    Took own packed lunch to work
    Took info to solicitors for house move
    Walked to work and back (with huge balloon!!)
    Had nice evening with loads of visitors. DS gone down pub now.

    Hope you all had a great day and those that could, enjoyed the sunshine.

    And good luck for your exam, Sunnydoo!!

    :D Tess xx
