    We've had a nice day today, we went to mums and ds practised riding his boke again, then she cooked raost chicken which was yummy :) After that we went to get ds some new trainers (he's only got a pair of boots, wellies and school shoes so really needed some). Anyway, we found some lovely Adidas ones in Sports Direct that were £22.99 reduced to £16.99 so we went for them, when they put them through the till they came up at £10 :j Complete bargain so am very happy :D I also spent £11.25 in Asda on a few bits and pieces, bread, ham cheese etc, to keep us going for a few more days lunches. Ds is now vegging with a dvd while I catch up with some emails with a coffee :)

    Morning all :) Sun is shining again here, hoping this weather lasts! Today we're having a lazy morning then we're going to visit a friend this afternoon who has a puppy labrador, then I have another friend coming round tonight. Ds is happy playing with his toys at the moment so I'm having some laptop time before doing some housework.

    Nothing to report in the banking, 10p on the scratches, 8 competitions entered so far, will do some more in a bit, nothing much else to report so far, have a good day!

    Excellent! I've never managed to nab one of those, which is a shame because I have loads that could do with a freshen up!

    We've had a lovely afternoon at a friends house and ds was really good while we were there :j :j He'd never met her son before (he's aged 10), but they got on really well together and ds wasn't clingy or showing off, hallelujah!! :D

    I've bagged another mystery shop at a local small supermarket for the end of the month which will be a nice easy one to do :)

    Another friend is due to arrive any minute tonight, am really looking forward to a good catch-up and gossip with her and ds has been told that if he goes to bed without any fuss and behaves himself then we'll go on a train ride tomorrow ;):)

    Morning :) So far this morning I have done a fab Body Shop offer that was posted on hduk (342 on makeup), and basically I got a £25 makeup palette a tea-tree concealer £4 and some tea tree oil £4.50 for a total of £6.80 plus quidco :beer:

    I've also done a qualifying bet which has given me a free £5 bet which I'll place later, and am looking at another qualifier but may leave that til later too :)

    10p on the scratches, nothing new in the banking and we're off to see the trains again today as ds was a star last night and went straight to bed and straight to sleep when my friend was round, which is unheard of for him when we have visitors :j :j

    The make up palettes are lovely great deal you got there.:T
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
