    Very sleepy today but it's nearly the weekend now...
    DS has been winding me up all night despite being warned that I was tired and grumpy but then redeemed himself by helping me bake and do sandwich stuff for tomorrow so he's not so bad after all - think I'll keep him.
    Not spent much today and hopefully won't tomorrow either, around £3 for both days tops. would be nice to fit an NSD in but don't see that happening this week.

    oh nearly forgot - I won a makeover apparently which is weird as I don't remember filling in a competition for one. wouldn't make much sense as I'd have to travel to London for it... told them I wasn't interested but when I googled them there's lots of info on them and it seems to be a scam, I could get my hair and makeup done but then there's a hard sell on the photos!

    :rotfl: :rotfl: not so much the wine but when I was in the shop I would have bought a gloss mag for around £3, a couple of bottles (just in case) and probably a chinese on the way home and seeing there was money in the bank anyway...:o That's why there was always more month than money.:o

    How are you doing? feeling better I hope.
