Hello all

This is the first time i have posted on this thread so hello!

I have really enjoyed reading what you are all up to this weekend, its given me plenty of ideas!

I plan on walking my 2 dogs - Free
Sorting my wardrobe out - i'm sure i have things i could sell on ebay
Dying my hair - 1.99 from the chemist
Painting my nails - Swapped nail varnish with my sister so free!
Then i'm going to my Nan's tonight for a catch up with relatives who live in London - My Nan is putting on food so i won't have to make any tea! I will be taking a bottle with me though

Have a good weekend

Excited! I have picked up 2 more mystery shops for midweek, an extra £10 for the fees and £10 worth of goods! Yippee, i go through love it and hate it with mysteryshop, if its somewhere I am anyway then its fine, but if its out of the way or whatever I dont bother. Todays was next door to the bank I was going to anyway, wednesdays is next to mum and dads where I will be going by then, so not out of way at all. Most times I log on and there are no assignments in the area, or certainly none suitable, as I need ones I can take my DS to. I have submitted my report to the company where I did the shop this morning. Excited! lol
Simple things and all that, it is encouraging me to do my ebay tonight when little one is asleep and partner is out (like I want to go out anyway in this weather)

Hi everyone - had a quiet day today thanks to the miserable weather. Welcome back mogchops - glad you had a good time.

katylittlelady - as the first anniversary is paper how about a book or a magazine subscription? You could even make him a photobook of your first year. I'm sure there are ways of getting these cheap or even free if you look around this site.

Today I / we

1) Went to our local fire station for a family fun day. It was little boy heaven! Total cost 50p for the bouncy castle.

2) All had lunch out. £3.96 for four thanks to the Lidl 99p meal deal.

3) Got 3 huge shower gels for 48p each in the Boots clearance section and paid in points.

4) Watched a DVD I had already for free entertainment.

5) Dinner was leftovers.

6) Received my naughty Boden order. Everything fits perfectly so I am going to be a devil and keep it all!:o But it was all in the sale and I did go through Pigsback ( tries desperately to justify herself......)

Tomorrow I am taking B to see a free screening of Bandslam in the morning. I don't know what to do in the afternoon though. My OH is taking over the house to make a video to put on Youtube for one of his songs:eek: and even has a photographer coming round. Me and the kids will be making ourselves well and truly scarce.....

Have a good evening and see you tomorrow,
