    Good for you, we all need some retail therapy once in a while.

    Did they buy lunch?

    They paid for their own lunch, so not too bad.;)
    I did get some nice bits from H&M, although dd no 1 doesn't agree, but then she has a desire to be the next Gok Wan and wants me to buy magic knickers and wear figure hugging things, whereas I want to be comfortable and able to breathe!:)
    I did get some jeans reduced from £30 to £10 - would have been rude to walk past at that price:rotfl:

    This morning my demon baby is full of the joys of spring

    In bad mood now, got a message on facebook, which when I opened had a link for a website. When i clicked on it, got all sorts of alerts but basically seems to be trying to get me to buy some sort of security package but is blocking my PC with alerts about what is happening which can only be sorted by buying this thing!:mad::mad::mad: Worst thing is having to confess to dh, so he can nag and moan for hours.;)
    I'm now on dd2 laptop which has a tendancy to turn off at random moments!!!:mad:

    :)Good news - weather is fab (at least it's dry) so going to pack a picnic and meet up with sister at the nearest country park and it's all free!!!:) and it will let demon baby get rid of some of her incredible energy:j

    Oooh, nearly forgot made £11 on ebay this morning:j

    ok, just realised that when you update your signature, it changes in all your previous posts as well. I only realised when I wanted to check back and eassure myself that I am actually making a dent in the balance!!
    Tomorrow, I am going to update my totals and see if they are any lower,:o, so my debt total today is £48,303. Fingers crossed that tomorrow it's below £48k:)

    Had a loevly afternoon today and feel shattered, but demon baby is still full of joys of spring, so going to go and lie down with her and see who falls asleep first!;)

    Every time you mention 'demon baby' I have this vision of Rodney looking down into the crib and seeing Damian from the Omen (Only Fools and Horses).

    I am sure your demon baby is just adorable though!

    Most of the time she is fabulous, but on occasion, she makes Damian look saintly:)
