Ive done much better this week at the food shopping though. Quite ashamed how lazy I'd got with it all :0 X You go with the singing lessons - sounds great!

We have a lower level to our home which is unfinished and we keep thinking about how much more useable our entire home would be if we would just get it done.<br />Also, we want to just spend on those things we enjoy....just like you said. For me its ballroom dance competition and for my husband its golf. It can be hard to get started on the 'belt tightening' but I think once its underway, it can be fun.
