    Ah what a fab weekend! Have had a great weekend and feel relaxed and recharged, which is good as I usually spend it recovering from my working week or preparing for the next! Something must be clicking! DFW wise its been pants though, 2 birthday meals out, DD needed new sandals.

    So I have:
    • Done tons of washing and line dried
    • Used tesco clubcard vouchers to pay for part of one of the birthday meals, and we drank the complimentary bottled water after our first lot of drinks
    • Some catch up housework
    • Sorted the toms and cues and worked out which need planting on this week
    • Used cards, wrap and pressies that were already bought
    • Bought make up in Boots on 342, got 2 GWP, used a £5 No7 voucher and then recieved a £5 skincare voucher :T
    • Sold an item on ebay
    Still to do:
    • Put away dry HC
    • Sort my breakfasts and kids lunches for tomorrow
    • Sort work and school clothes for tomorrow
    • Load DW though it wont need to go on today as there isnt enough
    • S&S in kitchen
    • Pack up ebay sale to post tomorrow
    • Early night :)

    Today I continued with my washathon. Thanks to the advice on daily chat I crammed a sleeping bag into my washing machine instead of taking it to the laundrette. It is currently hanging on the line - looks and smells fresher and saved me laundrette costs :j

    I also resisted the urge to go to town, just walked to Aldi as DH wanted one of their special items. Naturally I ended up with some food bits, but they will get eaten. :o

    I scanned in my shopping when I got home and have checked for surveys (none :()

    Now to look for a few comps to enter before DH comes in and wants PC.
