    Hiya all

    Late post from me. Did a bank shift at the hospital today although with childcare costs I don't make a profit it's all part of the bigger plan ;)

    Got an email from the uni I have applied to so they've got my application...just waiting to see what they think of it now :o

    Popped to town after work and got myself a little clutch bag using £3 I had left on a dorrie B giftcard. Used up some boots vouchers on babywipes, a pressie for my best friend and a little pressie for me! :p

    Checked online banking

    Reduced salad and lasagne for tea

    Night in tonight

    That's it!
