Lol @ daisy and the twins
have done battle with sainsburys except for the cake ingredients, but as I have to do mystery shop surveys in a co op tomorrow I'll get that stuff then.,also need a new bulb for one of my headlights arg
am currently sat outside friends house waiting for him to get home and let me in lol..
And I agree. When I was in a shared house at uni it was fine to wander around in pjs lol but I realise the old lady across my current corridor doesn't appreciate me taking out the rubbish in my dressing gown lol

And come visit me and help me make cakes alex!!

Oh and I bought a really cute floral vest from sainsburys too..

I'm in such a baking sort of mood as well! Not to be trusted with cake at the moment though, I'm a hormone crazed hog and have eaten flipping loads today

looking at Magpye's link to iamrose's dresses.... oooh looks lovely!!! love that rose dress too Caroline, probably won't suit me shape though, but I'm tempted with her wrap skirts! particularly this one http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32992859 how lush is that? my waist is near the top end of her sizing though

anyway, update on the shoe boots DH brought back... they are not from DP! he said they haven't got anymore in the DP store but had a brainwave and went into the DP section in BHS... they didn't have it either, but the girl told him they have one in the Debenhams sector in BHS! how good is her customer service! :T so DH got it from there instead... it looks identical but in blue suede... but.. but.. the material is a bit more flimsy and the sole dun feel as sturdy and it costs 2 quid more! hmm I have to decide if I'm keeping it now, and if its worth it just for tomorrow to keep it.. hmmm.... and I would really love to keep the grey ones as it feels really right and comfy, would be nice with trousers and jeans too I think.

did do DH a nice meal to reward his hardwork in getting them for me anyway home made KFC done in the oven yum

Alex, know how you feel, I'm on the diet wagon, DS's wanted pancakes for tea with chocolate spread, my mouth was watering so had a couple of pieces:o

Aww shucks thanks:D Whereabouts in Durham do you family live? And as for the boy thing I can only imagine! My 2 boys are 12 and 10 and they are doing my head in atm I could seriously knock their heads together! I wont but i would like to sometimes:rotfl:

I lived all over Durham, mostly on Claypath in Durham City and at Consett and Stanley and Lanchester (we were Nomadic!). My parents live near Stanley now and I am living up in Northumberland, I emigrated

I have two boys aged 10 and 15 and my DH had 2 boys aged 10 and 15!! We all live together (most of the time) and 4 not so little boys can be frather noisy and boisterous as I'm sure you know.

I'm bored of dieting now Still so much more to lose though.


Something productive has been achieved this evening - Mother's Day presents purchased and even an Easter present

Someone linked to this site on the sewing thread as an idea to buy the £2 skirts and use the fabric to make something else, but there are some nice bits on this site, mainly larger sizes though for us curvies but worth a look.

Forgot to mention I did pop in to Barnados at lunchtime and I bought a Tee previously from ethel austin but it was the grand sum of 99p. I loved the logo, its a bit on the big side but might look nice hanging over one shoulder if its mega big - not tried it on yet its in the wash. Just realised its black.. doh!





Also today I found some great shoe storage boxes 3 for £1.99 at B&M Bargains so I took to organising some of my shoes tonight.
I could do with 30 rather than 3 as I have got a bit of a thing for shoes.
