Aww, I think that's really sweet! Giving someone your time over a present. Saying that, I've just ordered OH some bits off amazon
Quite a long list today, though I'm sure you'll do it!
Fingers crossed for the Ballet! I went and saw Nutcracker 3 years ago and it was fantastic.
Broken even with BB now. Won £5 on the Bingo today, woop! Will see how I do tomorrow now I guess. Don't actually have the right money floating in my bank account to top up and withdraw. But seen a game on the bingo where you can choose to use 'cash' or 'bonus' so I'll just use that tomorrow. Or atleast, I think that's what I saw?
ETA: I was thinking of a 20 things to do before I'm 20 list - but can't actually think of anything I'd want to do. Am I that boring?!0 -

Well done Flower!! Glad you're feeling better today too

Cinny my list is mostly full of places I want to go, but I have silly things on it like learn to play the spoons, just think of little things you've always wanted to do ... learn to knit/crochet or something? Another one of mine I think is to bake a souffle that doesn't flop! Not that I've ever baked a souffle at all, or have the desire to really!
Have done a quick bit of investigation and Swan Lake is on in Newcastle in March

I think you could be off to Newcastle Tete. I love the Theatre Royal, and especially the RSC season there, they have the best sets.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
