    PPI Party Pooper
    Evening ladies,

    Hope everyone has had a lovely day, i've spent most of my day driving people here, there and everywhere and i'm pooped! On the upside i'm not working this weekend so i am all alone in my house to do as i please:D
    Another bright point of the day was picking up my cheque for just over £1000 in childcare fees that my lovely uni are paying for me:j I may be buying the shoes i've had my eye on...

    Did most of my flying earlier before i had to act as taxi but i'll potter about and tidy up tonight. DH has invited one of his friends over tomorrow as he has a little girl the same age as mine so they can play. I thought it would be nice to make a nice meal so i was going to make beef stroganoff - nice but not over powering tasting for little ones. Nope this little madam will only eat chicken nuggets/fish fingers etc, why do parents feed their kids this crap? So i have to go out and buy rubbish tomorrow:rolleyes: Bah, thats my little moan over, suppose its easier to cook than stroganoff, will save that for another day:p
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

    Dusty - big hugs and lots of calming vibes heading your way right now! Remember - all you REALLY need to go away on holiday is
    • Money
    • Tickets
    • Passports
    What is useful is:
    • Toothbrushes
    • Toothpaste
    • Change of underwear for all
    The rest doesn't matter - in fact, it might be a nice MSE challenge to visit the local charity shops/markets to kit yourself out at minimal cost. It doesn't matter if you don't have that favourite t-shirt or that particular brand of conditioner.
