    Do I need to include my implants cause they will bump up the cost a fair bit lol...

    Hehe - erm, well I was going from a fashion magazine point of view so I think we can leave out implants and musical instruments :D

    Ruby - yep that's the ones, I wear my glasses all the time (well, except when I'm asleep, in the shower, etc :rotfl:) so they have to be decent, and I am really impressed with these. Would probably spend the extra on thinner lenses next time though as they're a little bit heavy.

    Yay, Beanie-lou! Well done!

    I've decided the boys aren't getting a look in on this new dishwasher, anything needs to be done, I'm gonna do it, I absolutely adore this machine, I have never, ever had a dishwasher and it's all shiny and new and cool.

    I am way too easily pleased.

    Most expensive thing I have on today is my glasses at £250 nearly two years ago.Half paid for by my mum for my birthday :)
    Cheap ones are not as good if you take them on & off.

    No one has any excuse now for leaving dirty plates on the side. Though really it's only two of them that do that.

    Note to anyone wanting to use the 'check and send' service at the post office for a passport.....make sure they charge you for checking it.....:confused:

    sounds stupid yeah! Well DD1 took passport in yesterday to do check and send...she came back and said the photo didn't have the declaration on the back....i declare this is a true likeness etc etc....so we wrote it on...and I went back to the post office today to be told but you haven't filled in section 4 (even though it doesn't tell you to fill in section 4) and that DD2's signature looks like a forgery! So I asked her why they didn't tell us this yesterday.....well it was cos we didn't pay for it!!!!! But I brought it in to be checked.....

    So I have now paid for it to be checked and its been checked and I have run up and down the high street getting the woman who countersigned the photos to countersign the photos and the form again.......phew...we have 20 days to get this passport - check and send can take 2 weeks but there is a bank holiday.

    I did threaten to shoot the woman on the counter....she took it in good humour actually....

    Oh I think I can beat you all on the clothes front today....(but then again I am at home and slobbing around cleaning)

    Tracky bottoms - £1 MK one sale last year
    Top - Asda - £2.50 last week
    Bra - £7 asda
    Knickers - 5 for £4 asda so 80p
    socks - 5 pairs for £1 so 20p
    Glasses - some online company £19 (and I got £12 cash back - should only have been £6 but it tracked twice!!)

    Total - £30.50 (- cash back = £18.50) :j


    As for a painty picture....We'd be moved into the new house, DD2's school appeal would go through and we'd get the place we want, DD1 would get her choice of options, DH will have passed his final exam and be offered promotion and I'd fall pregnant after 7 years of failure....

    :rolleyes:
