Okay, so today is the last day of this 'month' for me, as I'm moving to pay day months because it makes loads more sense, rather than doing calendar months.

I'm going to make Mum's Mothers Day prezzy, especially as I'll have to spend loads posting it overseas. My idea is a tub of jelly sweets (her fave) and a nice framed pic of her and me taken a few years ago. She'll like this! And, a home-made card!

Have freebled for a couple of make my house better items, so we'll see how that goes. Also, for a travel book so keep fingers x'd for me pse!

It's really chilly with about 2 inches of snow everywhere, so could do with some warmth in my life. Am going to watch a TV prog and then fly.

OMG!!!!!! I'VE BLIPPED big style.

The tumble dryer being broken is driving me demented. I've freebled, with no joy! Managed to find codes for £60 off catalogue, plus 10% cashback, plus was reduced by £40 - so got it significantly cheaper than anywhere else, however, a blip is a blip is a blip!!! :mad::mad:

I need to take back my daily NSD now :( but at least I won't have bl00dy wet washing hanging all over my house :j

SmlSave

big (HUG) hun, you've done so well that this blip is just buried under all your good work and I can't even see it not even a corner.....just lots of dry clean clothes

may i come round with my washing later?
