  • Well I've just got back from town, and got everything on my list from Boots, and with their event I now have just under £40 on my advantage card so will treat myself in the sales :D

    I did however also spend an extra £20 then I meant to :o Popped into Poundland to get some wrapping paper, and ended up spending £6:eek: tho that did include some of those tumble drier balls so I'm counting that as MoneySaving! Also got myself some new Clinique lotion, which tbh was going to have to buy within the next week anyway.

    I then saved some money by going to the library and now have 5 books to keep me occupied.

    As for Flying.....

    Ummmm........

    My lazy start to the day has unfortunatly stuck with me. I'll have a blitz tomorrow tho as I hate going away and leaving the flat in anything other then a perfect state, so by tomorrow afternoon I *should* have all my stars!

    Now gonna sit with a cuppa and one of my "new" books!
