    Hiya everyone
    I've had a nice day so far. Walked to mum and dads with the dogs so knackered them out (the dogs not my parents!!). Read some crossword clues to my dad, took mum shopping and spent £50 on groceries when I only needed ham and milk!!! Scary! Most of it was loo rolls, washing powder etc on offer so i've not been too bad (apart from the ben and jerry's treat for me later!!).

    Now i'm about to begin my lists. Need to finish yesterdays first and then todays. Hugs to all of you and thanks for being so kind xx

  • Hi all,

    Right I am back from my shopping trip. I didn't need to worry about looking silly with my funky shopper. Don't think I saw anyone under the age of 60 during the whole two hours :rotfl:. Funfair Princess, I got mine from IKEA for £10, I think you can buy them quite cheap online too.
    Just been and looked at my kitchen then thought better of it :D. For a bit of inspiration I'm now watching Stepford Wives..... and wishing I had a robot for the day :p. I'll work on the kitchen after lunch.

Will go collect it ourselves instead in a bit - can drive down there and stop somewhere for a walk on the way back to DH's work, as they are pretty near each other, and we havw to collect him at 5 anyway.
