    You're just in time to have the last bit SS ;):D Yeah I agree about the presents, I think its shows sometimes that more thought has gone into the item, whereas for example, my nan sent him £40 in a card today and when we went round to say thankyou she didn't even know it was his birthday today, she just said she knew it was sometime near the end of them month so she thought she'd better post it :rolleyes:

    Don't worry about missing out on cake, I've got 2 freshly made banana loaves here, just one slice missing (went Hypno's way, lol) :)

    Another comment about presents - don't you also agree that when the little cherub has a party, they actually get so many presents that after a short while they all kind of merge, so even if you feel "guilty" that you've not bought enough, they have so many new toys/clothes/books etc that they don't think about who bought what. Yay!

    OKay, so I've got 6 weeks of the holidays left, theres a very high chance I'm not gonna get anywhere near my £1000 target :o but, every penny helps, so as from now I'm focusing on that. This weeks targets are to overhaul my soa, (been meaning to do this for a while now) and to box up stuff for a car boot sale which I may try and do on sunday. I need to be aiming for roughly £150 a week to get close to me target and tbh I can't see where that is going to come from, but hopefully the matched betting offers will start coming through soon as the footie season kicks off again in a couple of weeks, and I am nearly at payout on the scratchcard (probably next week some time), and if I could iam to get £50 from a car boot that would be fab. I must also get some more bits on ebay too, maybe give them a 3 day listing and if they dont go then thery're off to the car boot ;):D

    Forgotten to mention a couple of other bits over the last few days; so far 4 items have arrived from my next order; a pair of black work trousers that I'm keeping (£10), a pair of bkacl work trousers that are going back (£10), a pair of jogging trousers for ds p.e.kit that I'm keeping (£2) and a jumper for me thats going back (£10), so not too bad so far ;) Also my new shoes arrived from ebay and I absolutely love them, I keep getting them out and trying them on in the house :o:o

    Prrr, me likes :) I'm finally starting to be able to wear heels again after many years in flats due to being fat and having old leg injury, so am always on the lookout for gorgeous shoes

    They're not as bad as they look as the bit under the toes is raised too so your foot isn't quite so angled ;):D
    Well we went to my friends this morning which was nice and then we've just come home and had some lunch, the sun had come out and we were planning on whether to go to the beach or the forest when yet another big grey cloud appeared and chucked it down :rolleyes: :rolleyes: It does look like its clearing up again now but am not sure whether to chance it. Maybe we'll start sorting out the garage instead, but thats a really dull job. Last night a friend helped me with a matched bet and has made approx £20 profit :beer:
