    I've just had a really nice bubbly bath, ds was watching a dvd so I was uninterrupted :D I am ready to get my pj's on and have an early night and hopefully catch up on last nights sleep. I have been hungry constantly today but it dawned on me earlier that my period is due in a day or two so that may explain why.

    Thankyou WS, I'm pleased with it too but a long way still to go :o

    I've ordered my new phone, I went for the Genio something in the end, was the cheapest and after reading the reviews of them all it seemed it didn't have the best camera out of the options I was looking at but was the most reliable. Also the other one I liked they only had in pink or white and I like black / silver phones ;) Just need to cancel my current one now.

    Must be the time of year for changing phones. I've gone for a PAYG LG Cookie which set me back £52.95 on Virgin's Addict tariff but includes a tenner's top-up on it. I should get £15-£20 back on the old phone so really only costing me £22 - £27 maximum.

    Congratulations on the weight loss, starting my healthy eating plan on Monday now I've got my head straight (well as straight as it ever will be)....:T

    Morning all, I slept much better last night and feel awake again today :) Its raining again and has been raining all night so today will mainly be an indoor day. It means this place needs to be ship shape, clean and tidy by tonight.

    10p on the scratches, getting close to payout again there, a couple of matched bets to sort out for this afternoon, a roast dinner to cook and lots of ironing to get done :)

    Glad that you slept better - it really does make a difference, doesn't it!

    Off to a good start this morning; I've done one load of washing, moved everything back to the correct room and all rooms are now tidy enough to be cleaned. I've also had a go at ds bedroom, removing several bits for either the car boot pile or to be stored in the garage and another bin liner of junk :) I've taken down various posters and pictures and it makes his room look so much bigger, so hopefully that will help if I do put it on the market.

    I've also done the body shop offer from the grabbit board; 2 x cherry shower gels (£6 each), 2 x cocoa butter creamy wash (£6 each), cocoa butter body butter (£12.50), vitamin e moisturiser (£9) all for £11.50 delivered with topcashback to come too :T

    2 binliners of rubbish gone out, a few other bits have been taken down to the garage too, hoovering and cleaning all done except for the bathroom (ds just had a bath), roast is cooking and I'm just having 10 minutes of laptop time :)

    Mum and Dad are coming over this aftenoon as ds has to measure 3 family mambers for his homework, luckily its just wrist, head and feet :D I'll also get my ironing done this afternoon too and then I'll be almost up-to-date with housework again. I've also made another batch of butternut squash soup which will do for my tea tonight and to take to work tomorrow for lunch :)

    Well, thanks to you benben, this weekend I have
    • got DD new phone that she wanted anyway, with free Wii, plus cashback from two sources
    • grabbit offer from Bodyshop, giving me gifts for others plus something nice for me
    • done a matched bet, and vowed to visit GIOL more often
    • revisted TCB
    However, I have NOT
    • done any housework
    • made any healthy soup
    • caught up on any sleep
    Ah well, not such a bad mix :rotfl:

    I am, though, on track with my points, even after the creme egg that found its way into my mouth on our way home from the ski club :o
