    Bit late today....been busy (don't laugh , I HAVE!)
    Having a good day though....here are my efforts......

    * Little boy and me have made cakes instead of buying
    * Sorting out stuff for FIL's car boot on Sunday
    * Sorted out some stuff to ebay - three things today
    * Sunny day so washing on the line
    * Storecupboard lunch and tea (with sausages donated by my Mum - what IS it about people giving me sausages!?!)
    * Little boy off to nursery this afternoon so will start work hour earlier - bit of overtime

    And I'll be saving on electric by not hoovering. Mainly because me hoover blew up yesterday so car boot proceeds will be going to a new one instead of crimbo presents. Grrrr!!!:mad:

  • I'm off out to tonight to a hospitality event where I'll be wined and dined and got a pre-booked taxi home;
    I've entered the Pigsback competitions,
    I did a valued opinions survey this morning............

    On the downside, I've decided I'm going to buy myself a wii! I still have a student card from when I finished my part-time course earlier than intended so should qualify for the 10% off discount of pre-owned products. So, the wii will cost £116 which is none too bad :o (I tell myself)
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Love the horsey tale Piquant:D :D Mine wasn't a welly flinger but he was a blanket stealer. He realised if he stretched out he could reach the next stables rug rack which was between his stable door and theirs - every morning I came down to find him sleeping on a pile of his neighbours rugs that he had stolen during the night, naughty horse:p

    Hope you find the boot:D
