    I don't know about succombing to FB Bob, I have yet to find it's charms...

    I've a couple of days off as I had some leave to use up and surprise, surprise I've been up since 7:30 and I'm still not dressed! I have my jeans on though as I had to go retrieve my wheelie bin from someone else's drive! still blowing a gale here. I feel really shattered at the minute so might tidy up and have a wee nap before DS gets back from school. Felt like a right mean mum today cos I refused to give him £2 for a school dinner but it's not in the budget... fridays yes, thursday's no!

    been looking at hols again... I WILL NOT BOOK!!!!

    I'm feeling inspired again and have decided to set myself a wee challenge to make £100 by the end of April. The jewellery people never got in touch, haven't done any ebaying in ages and need to do more decluttering.:o :o

    April is THE MONTH! Plus I want to lose at least half a stone by the end of the month too.

    Bad Mother...that means he might learn the value of money and of having to wait for things instead of instant gratification...

    How will he cope? ;)
