    Knitting.

    Your new year is storming ahead PP, you are so organised. I'm so impressed by your early nights, I really need to work on that. Hopefully the exercise will make that easier.

    Don't always succeed SFB - must try harder :o

    You're doing brilliantly with your running. Has your mW arrived yet? Xx

    I've got endoftheweekitis! I'm jiggered but knowing its nearly Friday is keeping me going:p

    Work was less hectic today with no extras so classroom was tidy and marking done and still got home in reasonable time to have a run, get dinner and get ds to football training.

    I've no money news other than the car was just a service, no problems, no tyres etc so only £80. I'm so relieved/delighted -really thought this could torpedo January. Its also nice to know its likely to run OK as I do have quite a long drive to work.

    Other successes included;

    Drank 2 litres of water (get me!)

    Daily sweep and wipe done

    Ironing (things I can't avoid - I don't do much) done and put away

    Used the last of the pork to make hm sweet and sour with noodles for dinner p!us two individual portions for the freezer.

    Ys haul of muffins, crumpets and pancakes, sliced farmhouse loaves and artisan loaf 5p each, 5 sea bass 50peach, 50p sausages (posh ones:), 2 ready meals 20p each. £5.39 spent but freezer now rammed. Breakfasts and packed !inches sorted for the rest of the month and a few nice dinners :money:

    Off to watch Silent Witness followed by a sensible bedtime:)

    PP xx
