Morning all,
Well went to the Boots thing - bit of a non-event in my Boots, and I feel a complaint coming on, as I made sure that my 3for2 gifts totalled £20 so that I could use my extra points voucher, and because the amount was less than £20 when the 3rd gifts were taken off, it wouldn't let me have the points - now if that had been MrT, then the points would have been given on the original spend before discounts. :mad: They had also run out of loads of stock as the store is moving so they've been "winding them down" according to one of the sales assistants. It was just like shopping at any other time of the year! No prize draws or anything!
Came home and rushed dinner down before heading to planning meeting. We've planned what we're doing for pretty much the whole spring term as well as this half term, but I didn't get home til quarter past midnight!:eek: I'm really tired this morning now. OH and I are going to go on a shopping trip to Gunwharf Quays today as the weather is nice today and won't be on Sunday when he's next off. This is the only day we've spent together really in the whole half term! Dinner at my parents tonight, so don't have to cook.:T
Pigpen I'm glad that you are getting back to normal and you've managed to make some headway with the financial help too. How is DS1 getting on in his new place now?
Welcome to all of the newbies - happy flying - you'll love it here!
Good luck with the planning serena - I've still got some school work to do (see my extras list), but I'm going to do that tomorrow when OH is at work so that I'm not wasting any time that could be spent with him today - I feel that we've hardly seen each other these past few months, yet we live in the same house!
Oh well, here is my list update below:
Happy flying everyone,

Morning all
Belated Happy Birthday tooch I hope you had a good day :bdaycake:
We hardly seem to have been around all week and this afternoon we are going to the swimming pool in Sheff. Going with Mum and SW's 1,3 and 5 SW's 2 and 4 are undecided so far! We are going on the tram which is a treat for them all as well.
Just going to see if I have any swim free vouchers that will work for us but promise I will do some flying before we go.
Hugs to one and all.
