Just a quick one;)
Not an NSD as we went to the pub for lunch - planned cos the teacher I work with is leaving to have a baby...but turned out she couldn't come;) Had a lovely bacon and melted brie baguette though....:D There went £7...but I did used to go every friday and don't know the last time I went....February maybe?

Anyway, I nipped to T's after dropping DD2 at Brownies.....so much for my small list....spent £49:eek: That included £3 on flowers for friend leaving work, £3 on beer as sis and bro in law coming this weekend, £2 on coke too. But still, £40+ Oh well, all stocked up for another week.
And.......I used my first MOCs, printed from the vouchers thread on the forums somewhere....I was sure she'd tell me I hadn't bought any of the things on the vouchers but no....so my £3 came off:D (Mogchops are you proud of me?!)

I'm off to the farm tomorrow with year 2 - feeding the lambs, walking through fields and grooming donkeys....awwww. Weather forecast even looks ok...fingers crossed! Then just thurs to go and I'm on holiday:beer:

NSD today - am absolutely shattered tho' after the trip today, we did a lot of walking and it wears me out:o Fell asleep at 4pm on the sofa, will be having an early night;)
Just had dinner and quickly made some chocolate cookies for girls, they're in the oven now.
Had confirmation that my ING savings account is open - hope I got the £25 for being referred ok. Envelope from cashinmyphone came today - only getting 25p for the handset itslef, but £4.70 from Quidco....found the phone while clearing girls room out, better than nothing:D

Still not heard a thing from HB:mad: Hope it doesn't take too long - you'd think I'd changed my details drastically, not by about £25 a month

Anyway, off to collapse on the sofa...with a cookie out of the oven:p

Hi Milli I have found sound good craft things after your suggestions and ordered a Klutz book thanks.

I am thinking of opening an ING account too but not looked into the details yet, let me know if there is a way of you referring me to make yourself some money and I will do that.

Enjoy your cookies

NSD no. 12 out of my 12 for May:beer:
And that's me on my holidays.....:T Had my date for scan an hospital too today - on June 1st the day we go back to school after half term:rolleyes:

I've cut the back lawn tonight, done a quick wash, that I must go and bring in now, and tidied back garden a bit.

Tomorrow DD2 and I are off to town, eldest is at school, so we're going to have a little treat and go to KFC s eldest doesn't like it, so we can enjoy it while she's not with us! Need to get a few little pressies for E's birthday too - will see what she likes and make her wait outside the shops:rotfl:

On Sat my sis ad her hub and kids are coming to stay, just for the night, so that'll be lovely - hope the weather stays good so girls can all play outside.

Right, must go and bring the washing in, then have a sit down....Oh how lovely knowing I'm not going to work for a while.....:p
