    tesco mans just been, shoping should have been £63 but came in at £44 after discounts etc :D:D I did send back some chicken, I'd ordered some thighs and they didn't have the small size so sent a pack that was double the quantity I ordered, and of course twice the price, so now I will have to go out tomorrow and get some :rolleyes: otherwise though it was all fine and is now all away ;)

    Got back about half an hour ago. The better side won tonight, I can see your team getting promotion this season if they keep this start up. We only started playing after we scored which considering that was 86 minutes didn't give us enough time to get back in.

    Well done! :D

    Forgot to post this morning, sorry! We had a lazy morning, finished ds's thankyou notes, finished one library book, about to tackle the other one in a minute :rolleyes:, then I managed to get a cancellation and got my xrays done for the dentist then took ds to the soft-play place. For the first time ever he climbed up all of it and played properly there :j :j

    I've just had my bath and need to think about getting my stuff ready for work tomorrow :o I don't feel like going back at all, but at least its just staff tomorrow so it isnt like proper work ;):D

    Spends today = £4.50 for soft-play. Took a drink with us so didn't need to waste silly money on stuff there :D
