    It's a lovely day here and I have a day off all to myself!!! :j :j :j (as long as I get back for DS getting home from school) Bed stripped and sheets done already, next load in washer and I need to get dressed and hang it all out. Need to do a meal plan for next week but freezer is bulging so it'll be mainly cereal and lunch stuff. Have a wee bit of money left over this month and it's payday next week so trying to decide on saving it (road tax and house insurance due soon) or take it off the card - what a novelty!!! I used to be working out which card I could buy the shopping and petrol on at this point of the month.:o off out with friends tomorrow and have to buy a mothers day gift so will see how much is left on sunday.

    I have just spent ages looking for a fourth pillowcase that I was convinced I'd lost between the washing line and indoors or in machine etc and strangely enough I'd already ironed it - must be losing my marbles! maybe inability to count is part of the reason for my debt...
    need to put nice line dried bedding back on the bed now...

    Have a strangely calm feeling today...maybe because it's the first time in ages I've not had to be up and about quite earlier (or get DS up and out).

    anyhow I'm off out tonight so need to either make or buy a mother's day card (pressie sorted), tidy up a bit and glam myself up....

    mmmm....really need to hurry up on the glamming up! in a minute...

    nearly bought the Henry Priestman album there but why is it cheaper to buy a cd and get it posted to me than buying the download album? doesn't make sense... resisted for the mo and will have a look again tomorrow, love his voice though.

    P.S. both Beanie and Z strangely absent...
