    Ker-pluck - fab!!!

    My DD has so many nice toys which she hardly plays with but I don't have the heart to sell them.

    Ahhh Tigz....it was Friday night, you're allowed a little one;) I had 2 glasses of wine - think that's what gave me the energy to ebay!:D

    Awake nice and early today, so sat in bed with cuppa and laptop. Don't have to go out til 10.40, to take girls to gym club. Then going to town later so G can spend some of her birthday money and I can go to the fab cheap fruit and veg stall that's there on Sat. Need to buy a present for the teacher I work with who's leaving to have a baby next week.

    I must write a list of stuff to do this weekend.....:rolleyes:

    Not done a huge amount today so far:o Took girls to gym and stayed for once - sat and wrote my meal plan and very small shopping list:D I'm not going to T's tomorrow - hanging on til tues eve in the hope of some reductions again;) I don't need much anyway.

    Picked up a couple of bits in the co-op on the way back from town to last us til tues and got a few bits of fruit and veg from the market in town. I didn't buy much in town at all - drinks (bogof) for girls, hairspray, card for my friend and bus fare. G exchanged a book she got for her bday but didn't spend any cash, nothing she wanted, so a cheap afternoon out all round;)

    Got my bargain lump of beef out of the freezer for tomorrow's dinner, Monday will be meatballs with the 75p mince....fantastic:p

    Right I must get on....tidy up a bit before indian takeaway, red wine and Eurovision:rotfl: (I even bought pilau rice from supermarket to save paying £2 takeaway prices and have some plain leftver rice from last night haha...I am firmly in mse mode all the time now:D)
