    I did keep one of the Benefit lipglosses for me but tbh I wasn't that impressed with them, prefer my juicytubes ;):D

    Today we're going swimming this morning, the local leisure centre are doing unlimited weekly swimming for 11.00, I thought we'd go to get ds back in the swing of it before we go to Butlins :D Then its off to Tescos and then who knows where this afternoon :D

    We went swimming, there were only 3 other people there :eek: Its an older leisure centre and they don't promote their offers very well, most people go to the new centre which is always heaving in the holidays when people can't get on the beach if the weathers bad :rolleyes:

    So 11.00 spent there but that will do us for the week ;) then we went to the post office and spent 2.05 there, and then Tescos and spent 27.00 there :rolleyes:

    Ds is playing quite happily at home now so we might leave the bank and library till tomorrow. I'm off to tidy up yet again while he plays :D

    Blimey Benben. Wish I could tidy as much as you. I just don't have the patience for it. Plus when I do my OH just comes and mucks it all up anyway. Most annoying.

    I just fell asleep on the sofa for about 10 minutes and then a friend called to say she's popping in for a cup of tea :eek: Quick, hide everything in the cupboard ;) :rotfl:

    Oh no Milly! Benben, I'm with Milly on this, I bet your place looks nice. Must be something in the air tho, I almost fell asleep on my sofa half an hour before a new client arrived. Not good!

    Would it be really bad of me to admit that my laptop has the foloowing keys missing ... x 2 g h n m and another one that I dont know what it was as it doesnt do anything when I press it :o:o:o (its below the delete button). The space bar will be on its way soon too I fear :rolleyes: I do still have them all but I've tried loads of times to re-attach them but I can't. I'm used to it now but if anyone ever wants to borrow it they look at me as if I'm nutty :rotfl:
