Afternoon all!
Having a better day today (Yesterday was AWFUL - hyperactive naughty toddler had me in tears several times).
Anyway, heres todays list (not as long as Andans STILL)

* My lovely mum replaced my favourite face cream that aforementioned toddler decided to spread all over my bedroom yesterday

* Lovely mum also treated me to a new jumper, thermal undies and lunch (to cheer me up after day of hell yesterday)

* Put couple of pounds in F & F Settlement pot!

* Won £20 on a dog...well, Dad won it and decided to share his good fortune!

* Washing done at 30 degrees. Saving electric by NOT ironing step-kids school stufff.....their mother can do that !

* Bought some books for little boy (aka Damian) in matalan and although they were marked up as £3 each, turned out they were £1 each! Bargain!

Thats it for today for me....will try and think of some better stuff tomorrow!

Happy Saturday everyone!
