I am always going on at Mike to read your blog (thinking it may help the 'I want chickens' campaign) but I think I'm going to have to stop - I don't want him going on at me about household expense and curtailing the odd trip to Waitrose! <br /><br />You are doing so well though. And I love your approach - making it fun and a challenge. <br /><br />Btw, just a thought but regarding shower gel etc, you might want to check out Co-op or M&S for bargains. All their own label stuff is not tested on animals. Same can't be said for the others :(<br /><br />As Ms Rabbit has been telling me all week - she is obviously drumming the message in to me! <br /><br />Charlotte<br />xCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187037174877356896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-4306648905090572022011-03-01T21:13:56.767+00:002011-03-01T21:13:56.767+00:00Crikey Sue that's some serious mud you have yo...Crikey Sue that's some serious mud you have your wellies in:) I also love the frugal blogs and have picked up some great ideas along the way.
