Visited MILs and went to shops whilst over there. Managed to get some of DD3's birthday prezzies - wow, aren't designer clothes expensive - bring back Primark anytime please!!!!

Had a lovely day, but far too calorific on the food front again. Desperately need to do some exercise to work this off, but fear housework needs to come first tomorrow!!!

**SOB SOB** £110 to fix the car over going over this flaming pot-hole. Am going to phone the roads people tomorrow to massively complain - am raging that we're not even in 'winter' proper and the road is a mess already!!! And it's not an avoidable one, unless you want to crash into on-coming traffic - so it could happen again unless they fix it!

I also missed out on the Goddiva deal of the 3p dresses (but some amusement was had trying!!) however, I lucked in on the ASOS glitch with a total of 7 orders, saving a massive £70 off of about £110 worth of goods!!! Am chuffed to bits!

Mad run around at work, but managed to spend lunch on MSE looking through London touristy things to do (including writing to local MP) - also phoned council about reclaiming cost of car damage - so they said they'd send in a form.

DD has 3 friends sleeping over, so it was a pizza night and then driving them around all night (incl. driving me mad) - adopted 2 new fishes from freeble also (welcome to the mad ceebeeby family fishes!!)
