Hey All,

This is my second attempt, as just wrote one and somehow deleted it :rolleyes:

Today I have / will:

* Bought 2 x DS games for £5 each for a birthday pressie in March, really happy as these should be £30 each. :T
* Leftovers for tea, food from mum-in-laws so free food again!
* Ive also recycled my gift bags, and found ANOTHER box of xmas cards... How many do I have ?!?

Hope everyone finds time to relax today,

Pink-wellies xx

Hi all,

This is the first time I've posted on here but always read it for some tips & encouragement.

Today I have:

- Bought a really nice top in the online Next sale - I have it in pink and beige already and love them, so got it in black as well for £10. And managed not to succumb to anything else!

-Stayed over last night at in-laws so lovely fried breakfast courtesy of them this morning.

- Taken the dog for a long walk to the beach, free exercise for me and her!
Sadly she's now filthy so got to give her a bath tonight.

- Going to eat leftover shepherds pie for dinner.

- Rather than dessert going to have a hot choc with marshmallows and whipped cream which i save for special occasions!

Hope everyone had a good day!
