    Who'd have to travel by train? DS??

    Totally agree with you hun, especially if DS has to go on a train. x

    Well ds and I have had a lovely evening, he's been drawing and colouring different types of transport, and drawing and colouring don't normally feature anywhere on his favourite activities so it was a nice change :D

    Moneywise today I spent £2.60 in the bakers on some bits for my grandad (went round to see him this afternoon), and £2.50 on carrots, broccoli and some mini eggs :o I've also withdrawn £5 from the virgin scratchcard, thought it was better to do it in £5's from now on before the good times end :rolleyes:

    I withdrew £5 from Virgin the other day - it got paid ok, but hoping it's not my last one from them:(

    Morning :D Yet another icy one out there today, ds is happily building a transport museum, he's stuck all the pictures round the walls and has made a little shop, hopefully it will keep him busy for a while :D

    Nothing special to note today, nothing in the banking, 10p on the scratchcard ... today :D Looking like another indoor day, we may go for a walk later if it thaws at all, otherwise maybe make some cakes, try and make some money and play museums :rolleyes:

    Aaaaah sounds like a lovely day....makes me wish my 2 were little again, when they used to get their Bratz and Sylvanians out and make little villages etc...... They're on the Wii right now, so no Saturday Kitchen for me:o

    Postie delivered some stuff I bought to sell on ebay, however others have done the same now and it looks like I'm only likely to make about £1 profit on each one, assuming they sell :o :rolleyes: Still, its all part of the journey :D I have got them listed on there now so we'll see what happens.

    Other than that we're having a pj day, just had lunch, and I've been reading all the info on the dooyoo site, I really must get a start on that this month, I don't expect to make a huge amount from it but any extra helps :D

    £1 is £1 at the end of the day.......or perhaps keep them to car boot in the spring instead?

    I think I may have been brainwashing ds a little too much ...

    He's been wanting a dog for ages and I keep telling him we can't have one until we can get a house with a garden. So today he announced that rather than saving up his pocket money for Mario Kart for his ds, he's decided to save the money to help me pay extra on the mortgage so we can get a new house quicker :eek: :eek: :T :T Bless him, he's only 6, has no idea what a mortgage even is, but hey, its good to start 'em young :rotfl:
