We've been out and about in the snow, had lots of fun but was really cold. Ds wants to stay out there but its too cold for me My nice neighbour popped round earlier and offered to clear my steps and path of snow for me if I was happy to let him use some of my rock salt :T Old-fashioned decent neighbour, fab

Last nights matched bet freebie came in and has made me £11 profit which is very welcome. Just waiting to see the world cup bid outcome and then I want to add up where my moneys at. Today I have spent £5.73 on bread, sausage rolls and some bits for grandad and another £5.50 in co-op on milk, butter etc, enough to keep us going for a few days

The snow is fab isn't it!! But it's very fluffy and we couldn't make a snowman we walked to Asda through some little woods and it was lovely, just like a winter wonderland :D:D:D we had a McD's and walked back. I put Miracle on 34th Street on but I fell asleep!!

Oh on the 22nd a couple of friends from work are coming along too, one has 2 kids, a boy who is similar age to DS and a DD who is same age as my DD and Kira who has no kids but she wants to come along and feel all Christmassy... hope that's ok with you? x

I was called about half an hour ago from a bank I have a savings account with and asked to complete an online survey; I checked them out as being legit and did the survey, which took approx 8 minutes, and have earned a £15 Amazon voucher, woohoo!! :j :j

Morning all, another snow day here so a nice long weekend for us :j
I also managed a whole nights sleep until I got the school text at 6 so thats good too

I promised ds we'd go out sledging today, and the other thing I want to do today is gut his wardrobe / drawers and see what actually fits him. Yesterday I thought he had tonnes of cold weather stuff but his thermals are age 3-4 (he's 7 ), his boots are a size too small and his all in one zip up anorak thing is getting too small, so I need to check everything else too, hasn't been done for a long time, and maybe he'll get a few bits for xmas to pad it out again
