Hi again,
I have spent all day doing housework but the place is still a tip.:( OH is off out to see LA Roux tonight ( my Christmas pressie to him) so I am looking forward to a girly night catching up with Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice and a glass of wine.
Today I:
1) Had planned a NSD but remembered I had to tax the car, and pay B's violin tuition. Bum.
2) Entered some CokeZone points that a friend gave me. I am 1 point off a digital camera, and got another ASOS code.
3) HC drying outside.
4) All meals from stores. I am going to make a curry with all our veg that needs using up.
5) Remain thankful I sent T to school in his older coat today - one of the big boys threw it over the fence and it has gone missing!:eek:
6) Sorted out some more things for the car boot pile.
7) Took some of T's old pants to school for the 'emergency' box.
8) Reserved some library books online.
We are off to Charmouth tomorrow for bank holiday weekend. It is a Sun holiday I booked ages ago, but at the time I didn't realise we were going away in the Easter hols - so this is our second weekend away in two weeks. Naughty. Still, it's only an hour away and there is a fossil festival this weekend so lots of free things to do.
Hope you have a lovely bank holiday weekend, and that the sun shines on us all, L x0 -
