    A quickie for me (am knackered):

    - checked banking - oh yes, the MINUS £169 figure is still there. I have no idea how this has come about and will surely be racking my tiny lil brain to suss out how and why
    - scratchies and clicks
    - worked hard for my pennies in the office
    - gave DS lots of love (free!)
    - Mum gave me £20 to get some school trousers for DS (will he ever stop getting taller ?)
    - checked for freebies
    - had a NSD (now smashing my 15-days target)
    - used free texts to check that Dad is still ok to take me and DS to hospital appointment tomorrow
    - meals from stores
    - washed other sofa covers on low temp, and have them drying on airer
    - no heating on
    - DS tells me that he can go to the Sheff. Utd football match tomorrow with a friend for free
    - watered spring onions (I have no idea if they will come to much so late in the year, but they still seem to be growing, so fingers crossed)
    - will read some more tonight (free Galaxy book)

    Hugs

    Forget to add sparkle and wearing pink socks with green dinasaurs!!:j
    very jealous of pink socks with green dinosaurs - Fay, even YOU must be jealous of these !!!

    Didn't make the cake I have been trying to make since Monday - had a work meeting that went on really late :eek:

    Apart from that, all to plan though - but housewarming party tomorrow evening - so still no cake making - maybe Saturday :D

    I am really worried about your Piglet Miss P - MY piglet is 26 and a teacher now - but is still 'piglet' to OH and I :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Be warned, it WILL stick!! (Mine is a girl piglet though, and yours I think is a little boy?)
