I deserve to go on the good list today..

I have been out shopping at Sainsburys... I originally only went to get petrol
:rolleyes: Then figured since i managed to get a parking space i might aswell do my shopping there and then so that i didnt have to go again

I took my friend to collect a package from the local collection office. Shes getting my fresh shopping for me on tuesday ( i guessed this was a fair swap :rotfl: )

Packed all shopping away. Hid the gifts i bought

Got tonights dinner ready to pop in the oven, i am off out tonight Going to my mum and dads who have friends coming over. Not exactly out raving but still a great night out is expected

Started a hamper thats a movie one.. Now just need to buy a film to go in it :rotfl:

Collected son from his friends.

Took last gift and card out to my other friends.

Now i thought i deserved a minute. So i am sitting here trying to catch up after just eating a huuuuge strawberry cream tart from Sainsburys Well i figured if i had been shopping i deserved a treat

Hope everyone is having a great weekend

Well, we braved Mr T today:eek: What a nightmare. But at least that's the food shop done. Going to Sainsbury's on Monday to get the fruit & veg as I have some vouchers I earned on toluna.

Got the hairdresser coming to Nan soon, and I'm off out tonight for a Christmas meal I can't afford. Unfortunately, as I had to cancel going out to London owing to me being ill, I can't cancel this one. I'm still ill and on tablets, so I won't be drinking - that'll annoy everyone when I won't just agree to splitting the bill.

Hoping to make some peanut butter chocolate cup things before I go out, but really need a lie down first as I've a thumping headache that just won't go away:o

Tomorrow I hit the kitchen hard and hope it doesn't hit back:D

[strike]Update 2009 present list[/strike]
[strike]Clean kitchen windows - [/strike]
[strike]Find floor in spare room
[/strike]
I'm all done now just need to put the hoover round again in the week and do the food shopping and that's it:j. DD was bored this afternoon so she tidied the remaining kitchen cupboard while I sorted out the spare room - she's suffering from my organisation as she usually gets dragged in to help (she can't be my child she loves housework) :rotfl:

I've never been this relaxed in the last few days before. OH is out on his xmas do started at 12:eek: DD is at a party until 6 and I have nothing to do - feels really weird.


Think I'll take a leaf out of Sarah's book and put the kettle on - shame there's nothing on the telly when I have the remote for once
