    Hello all!!

    Bit late on here today. Been busy doing ironing (Yes, I finally did it!!) and various other things.

    Hope everyone is ok - I'll catch up on the thread later at work :rotfl:

    Today I will / have:

    * Invested in two large storage boxes from in-store. All piglets toys now tidily packed away. I will bring one box down at a time for him to play with of a day. I have reclaimed my living room - yay! (had a lightbulb moment this morning when he had EVERYTHING out and I couldn't see living room floor!)

    * Print off pictures from cbeebies website to make my own reward chart for Piglet - use work printer to save my cartridge ;)

    * Washing at 30'c and drying outside

    * Checked on-line banking - looks healthy till tomorrow when all DD's go out !:rotfl:

    * Small change into Bertie Bassett

    * Avoid vending machine at work

    * Storecupboard dinner using bargain bag of potatoes got in sainsburys other night - 45p for 1.5kg!

    Thats about it for today! Got to buy some sticky backed plastic (ooh I've gone all blue peter!) to make Piglets reward chart but hopefully that shouldn't cost too much!

    Lol Fay we would have cross posted, but OH distracted me. Miss P if you dont have a laminator its prob cheaper to pop into a print place and get it done.
