Hi All,

Happy Monday. I'm here with the curtains back and my stash of painkillers. I'm on the home straight :j:j:j

Have a good day. Tackle Monday head on even if you don't have a crackerjack pencil.

    Morning all

    Up and all bright and breezy this morning, DD's have left for school, I've hoovered through, dishwasher's doing it's stuff, washings on the line and I'm just about to go make the beds....exciting eh?

    Going to go for a wander round the garden centre and make the most of the sun, DH's whizzy wheels are making a strange noise so we'll pop into the shop and book them in to be looked over....

    Going to make some mini-quiches for tea and pick some homegrown salad leaves to go with :T

    Morning all :)

    Nice early start (for me!) today. I'm already showered and dressed and the bed is made, one load of washing in and I'm off to walk up to town in a minute to get some shopping from Iceland. Need to nip to the bank aswell to pay in some change so need to hang on until 9 really but I might just walk up twice (I need the exercise)

    Looks like it might rain, the grey clouds keep hiding the sun, but I hope that it will hold out until I get back from my walks.

    Will be back in a bit.

    Lots of Love xxxxx

    morning all,

    nice weekend, didnt do much however had a couple of nice walks with the wee one, she thought it was great going on daddy's shoulders, although she hasnt learnt that she needs to hold on so my arms are hurting as i was having to keep hold of her arms, so as my wife said i looked like a gibbon :D

    really dont want to be at work today oh well must get a slog on
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Thanks for that lmc.
    6.30pm trip to docs. He will be taking the lens out, he's told me I could take it out at about 2.30pm but I think I'll leave it to him.

    Think I'm up to some guitar today.
