    Maz - just looking at your siggy - won't staying under £100 for clothes be a bit tricky when you are effectively vanishing before our eyes?...

    Good morning all, in my effort to save money, I've taken all the power leads from DD's bedrooms and hidden them...they've been warned time and time again to turn things off.....:D I'm having an evil mummy day.

    DH is home with bad back pain again, hoping the Dr's will sort out some physio for him tomorrow...won't hold my breath though.

    Have parents and aunty/uncle coming for tea and cakes this afternoon...hope the sun shines nicely and we can decamp to the garden....I spent hours last night making lovely cakes and icing them all...I hope they get eaten.

    Luc - How's motherhood going?

    Bookie - Good luck with the change/bank - our local ones get stroppy if you have over a tenners worth of bagged change.

    Linda - Enjoy your haddock, I was wandering through the fish market the other morning wishing for fish....DH is so allergic though I can't even have it in the house.

    Hope you all have fab days

    I'm very well thanks for asking Linda!

    I will try very hard not to be too cheeky today...

    Nearly 10 weeks in and Mummydom is still good. Must admit I'm looking forward to him finally sleeping through the night. I only get one wake up call now at around 3am but hoping that will go soon.

    And to think this time last year I was about a week pregnant, blissfully ignorant of the fact and all out training for a 10k!:eek:

    I hardly call £120 for a dress a bargain!! although i can imagine what it must've cost initially! :eek:

    I got my mulberry purse for £1.50, my best designer charity shop bargain!
