    Evening ladies,

    I know pennywise, blooming kids! I havent had her measured in ages though and I felt bad as DD1 had a lovely pair of Lelly Kellys for her first school shoes (bought by her Godmother not me!).

    OMG DFW £60 for a pair of school shoes :eek:. They are very grown up though (not sure how old he is) could he get a pair from Topman or somewhere for cheaper?! Pfft to the letter from school cheeky barstewards!

    Well im just doing the old job search.. argh hate doing this brings out the worst in me :rotfl: xx

    Hi Mummy,

    Aaargh to babysitting problems. Are there any carers at nursery that need extra cash? I have a girl from nursery babysit for DD, she is lovely and DD is happy to stay with her, only thing is you have to pay them.

    Morning Diary,

    2nd August can you believe it?! This year is marching on... il be thinking about Christmas soon :eek:.

    Livvy, they dont go to a nursery so I have anyone like that that I could ask! Thanks for the suggestion though.

    Well it was all good news in the mummytogirls house yesterday.

    - The test that ladies have every 3 years (think you know what I mean!) came back as normal... phew!

    - My Mrs T's points arrived so will double up for uniform :j.

    - My car tax came!

    Just checked in on the bank account and we recently re-subscribed for the reward account and our £5 has gone in.

    Im at work at the moment but since I got here early im going to leave at 4pm and pop to Mr T's on the way home. Have a £5 off a £40 shop plus will pick up the rest of the girls uniform.

    Girls Godmother rang me last night and told me off for buying DD2's shoes as she buys first pair of school shoes! Think I previously mentioned that she bought DD1's Lelly Kellys. So she is going to give me the money back! I will use this to buy DD1 some more clothes as her wardrobe is very thin in the ground.

    My 2 things on ebay have a watcher each so hopefully they may end up with bids on.. fingers crossed or I will relist.

    Think thats about all from me. Hope everyones ok xx

    Hi Mummy,
    Wow you did have some good news yesterday!

    I had the same 3 year test on the 18th...nervously awaiting results.

    I think its best you do show OH the exact bracelet you want...saves dissapointment lol. 7 weeks until DD's birthday and 8 weeks until mine...September is a busy month for me. I will have to buy my own pressies this year :(, at least I will get them right :rotfl:
