    My parents have offered to have her. She loves them and goes there quite often anyway as they look after her when I am at work and out the house for too long.

    Plus I spend a lot of time at my parents as they have my little girl for me when I am working and I am often popping there to deliver more of my stuff for storage so I would still see her lots :D

    Well I took £50 of stuff back - yesterday CAFCGirl - and I managed to sell £30 of stuff on to a friend. Hoping to sell something else for £7 too! So didn't take it back but not done too badly this week on the Make £10 a day challenge!

    Bye all for now - still not had any news on the job - EEK!

    Hope everyone has a fun weekend - in true MSE style of course!
