    hi all,
    Today i will transfer holiday spending money to another account so I cant spend it.
    Have a NSD
    Go throuh direct debits to see if there is anything that i can cancel, that i dont need
    Go through mine and DS1 holiday clothes to make sure they all fit and i ont need to buy anything else.

    Yukki bear- From what know baby showers are really nice, i have never been to one but its a chance for women to get together and exchange stories about childbirth etc, it should be fun. (only downside you have to buy a pressie! lol

    short post today,

    today I have/will

    done some clicks
    entered some comps
    having dinner at a friends
    hopefully nsd or LowSD
    boyfriend staying tonight so free cuddles!

    My bad week continued when I took a contact allergic reaction to something yesterday. I had two swollen fingers and was dizzy. There has to be a change soon. I can't keep up with the rubbish that is my life right now. At least I can still smile, right? :)

    Ktjazz, the sun will shine for you soon, just got to hold in there. Sounds like you need someone to give you some tlc, or do one of your fave things. When i feel down i listen to a fave song or movie to cheer me up. Usually end up watching a sad fantasty adventure film!!
