    ahem....drum roll please!!!!

    Debt now down to £2426 which is the lowest since I was pregnant with DS who is nearly ten! :j :j :j
    Tip to expectant mums - yes kids do need lots of clothes (especially when they puke lots like mine did) but they needn't be expensive!

    Pay day today, have another day off and the sun was shining a minute ago when I put lots of stuff in the washing machine... it's raining again at the minute but hopefully it'll be back.
    Off to do a cheap shop and suss out what's on for DS and I to do at the weekend.:D

    Getting there at last Bob, thanks!

    Just defrosting after footie watching Rachel Allen make cakes - she seems to have had a Nigella type makeover...

    Off out with DS later he's decided he'd rather have a night in with a dvd than go to the cinema so need some popcorn etc for treats.

    OK, tiny wee confession - I bought some perfume today! felt very guilty but I hardly spend anything on clothes and I NEEDED it! ok wanted but still... I'd run out and it's just depressing not having any.:o Got DS a couple of things out of Next, sadly nothing in the sale but I did use a gift card.;)

    it was the outfit as much as anything - low cut dress with tight cardi and hair all flicked out. She looked lovely but I remember when I first watched her it was all a lot more simple and wholesome. I did get some good cake decorating ideas though that should sell well at school fayres etc. God I sound very domesticated today! should I also confess I might grow some fruit/veg for the summer too...:D :eek:
