    That was my plan too - get everything done today so I can have a DVD day tomorrow (OH is working all weekend, so I get control of the TV remote!)......

    But at the moment, it looks as though my chores list will spill over into Sunday unless I get my act together!!

    Well not a huge amount achieved in the end :o I did go to mums and I did go to tescos, spent £42 but that included £6 voucher with which I got lots of bits for ds birthday. I also got given another till spit, spend £40 and get £4 off, so I'll use that next week too. I did also get 10 Pantene hair masks, reduced to 24p each :beer:

    I've been feeling a bit wierd today, maybe cos I'm still tired, but every time I get off the sofa to do something I feel absolutely shattered again within 5 minutes and have to sit down again :rolleyes: I've just had a bath and stuck on one of said hair masks, not planning on doing much at all tonight, just lots of vegging on here ;):D

    I think they use this as a ploy if you don't usually spend that much! and it works with me:o.

    Morning :D Last night I was mooching online and found the chest of drawers, I nearly bought for ds a couple of weeks ago, reduced by £20 in argos, so this morning we're having a quick trip over there to get them and another small bookcase for his room as his is rammed full. The rest of today will be taken up with assmebling said flat-packed furniture :rolleyes: and then gutting his room and finding lots for ebay/car boots :D

    Okay, we've been to argos, bought the drawers and bookcase and then came the fun bit ... getting it to the car and then up the 2 flights of stairs into my flat :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Luckily a kind lady with a trolley let me chuck the boxes on top of hers and took it to my car for me :T but the several trips up and down the stairs at home has exhausted me now :o:o This is one of those times I miss having a bloke around :D

    Quick 5 minute recovery break and then I'll be cracking on with the bookcase first.
