    Will be an amended list tonight as the spare room is OHs studio and I know better than to mess with that! Any mess in there is none of my business as far as I'm concerned. But we've got a friend coming over to stay tomorrow so I shall use this as an excuse to make sure my already well flyed house is pristine. No CHAOS for me! Hmmm... maybe I'll have time for baking, or crochet, or some such...

    Triker.. How is Miss P?

    Rose.. my nails would be BRIGHT emerald green glitter... actually I may do them anyway.. I'm just feeling green lol

    Off to OH's mums next weekend while the grubs are with his kn0bship so that should be 'fun'..

    I be'd shopping I was so extravagant I got.. 2 black eyeliners for DD1 and a silver glitter eyeliner for her stocking. a pack of sponges and 3 nail polishes.. Maybelline and l'oreal at 99p and 59p respectively.. bargainous!

    Food and bed for the gremlins I think.. then I can paint the toe nails and I may feel the need to whizz off to the pubic louse if I can stay awake long enough.

    I got my certificate through from college today and I have 63 credits when I only need 45 to pass so all is good there. It is actually 6 more than I was expecting but I'm not going to argue with them over it!

    on Monday I need to send for DS1's birth certificate.. I have to ring as the bank card is in my name.. It is £7.50 if you ring and £30ish to apply online for it.. cheeky fluckers!!

    Ah.. deflea DD2... back soooooooooooooooooooooon

    Happy Birthday Lil_me! Have a good day!

    AnW's Mum- have a good holiday

    Rose and Piggers - my toe nails are pinky lavender today instead of blue or purple, lovely colour!

    Chatsworth was lovely today apart from everything being expensive and charging for everything they possibly could. Next time will take everything we need for a visit incl a picnic! £1 for a Longly Farm Yoghurt opposed to 26p here! As if!!!

    Off to declutter a curry for tea now! Mmmmmmm!!!
