    Glad the camera works ok especially as it needs to earn you money.

    Sounds like you enjoyed the bath.

    I went for walk ,dropped cheque off and popped into DDs as it's near the office and spent a couple of hours with her having a couple of coffees and a natter and it was lovely for a nice relaxing change so no decluttering done x

    Thanks Taxi. That bath sounds like I walk around absolutely filthy - I don't, honest, but usually cleanliness is just another chore. For it to be luxurious, to actually take a book into the bath as I did yesterday, was absolute bliss......

    I'm glad you had the chance to sit down with DD and relax as well - thats lovely, and we can't always be decluttering. Imagine if I'd decluttered the little camea (it was a freebie) - I'd be stuck for the extra income then.

    Today, I have 2 hours paid work in the evening, and before then this is the schedule:
    - 2 mystery shops, one on the phone, one in town.
    - use Waitrose voucher from The Sun to buy lots of pesto :) - I asked for the page from a Sun reader on the bus to my sister's on Saturday, so I didn't even pay for the voucher. My niece was horrified, she's at that age, but after all, the woman could only say no :rotfl:
    - check out Lidl and see if they've got any of those v cheap Charmin loo rolls left.

    Not bad. And I get to go into town.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Thats a good point, turfy, thanks - I *usually* do that, but not always - since I don't often shop at Lidl, I think I'll take me calculator :o yep, I'm that madwoman you see roaming the aisles!:rotfl:

  • :) my phone has a calculator and I am the one standing infront of the loo rolls - punching numbers in then dividing and then thinking and then choosing - its difficult to figure it out by just looking!

    ......usually with my tongue stuck out (no one knows me here thank goodness!)

    Morning........

    I find the 2.99 12 pack from home bargains of quite decent quality.

    Have a good time shopping and very MSE asking for the coupon.

    I don't think I have any home bargains round me..... I'll check tho, Taxi.

    Hi Red - just on your diary too - it was really funny about the voucher, I'll be off out soon to use it. Its on my list written with a stolen pen :D

    You see, although I'm paranoid :D I'm also a scouser - actually, paranoia goes with the territory, as well as thievery does. Ta-da!
