Me again - since earlier:-
I feel virtuous as I finally got my drill out and put up the homemade coat rack that I made before Christmas. The coat mountain is how hanging up nicely for the grand sum of £2.75.
Online survey
Entered comps and my o2 top-up code. Won pizza hut 241 vouchers - don't think I need anymore pizza though!
Got OH to hand deliver a card to my friend for her bday as he was passing. Saves on a stamp.
B has been looking online to buy a case for her new MP3 player. I managed to find a phone case that I bought ages ago from Poundland and it fits it perfectly.
Maybe see you again later, L x0
