Yesterday I broke the buckle off a belt (not while I was wearing it - LOL) and I only had one belt left to share between work trousers and a couple of non work ones. So I needed at least one more belt. Walked into Poundland this morning looking for something else and they had some. So I got 3 belts for 3 quid. Thought that was a nice deal myself.
Also, I went to work again on Saturday to earn a bit extra.0 -

Spotted some money off vouchers in a free supermarket magazine. Which will come in handy. Especially if I go back and take a bunch next time. Any help, opinions, views I may hold those are my own. Respect them as you would expect the same in return. Offered freely, is gleaned from a lifetime of experiences, knowledge gaining. Passed on to benefit others. I may be direct, ask you questions but those are to help you. Up to you if you choose to take it. I won't judge you either way.

Hi there,
Hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day;) My two darlings kind of needed a moan from me and a reminder what day it was today, then I was given a cute hand painted photoframe DS2 made at Brownies and a cd, did ok bless them:D
What else.....I have....- Check online banking...roll on TC on Thurs
- scratchcards 2x 10p and 25p
- email Tesco as they charged me £3.11 for a chicken marked £2.51:eek:
- Took back DD2's school shoes as they wore out in 3 weeks - so bought cheaper ones from different shop;)
- Took DD2 some choc from home into town, save buying
- Returned a top I bought and wasn't 100% sure I liked!
- Did a washing on half load, at 30, and dried on the line
- Read papers online
- no heating on today:T
Anyway...enough waffling on, should post on my diary, but I don't think anyone reads that:DI really need to sort out a new signature!0 -
Happy Mother's Day to Mums, Mums to be, Grandmas etc....
It's so lovely to hear everyone's fab weekend plans/ write ups. It has been beautiful here. I've not done much DFW, but have hardly spent anything either so it's swings and roundabouts I guess.
Was taken out for lunch by my Dad yesterday which was lovely- its my birthday next week so got birthday money from him and also my Nana (yes, I am a grown-up, married and a mum to be but I'm not embarrassed to get birthday money)!
Worked today, then went to my Nana's to distrbute mother's day cards and tell them our good news. I think they might be more excited than us at the prospect of being great-grandparents/ grandparents.
Have thoroughly enjoyed having some sunshine- hope it lasts as I'm off next week. Won't hold my breath though....
