    Thanks Lelly, I hope so too!!
    Mart, sorry to hear about your car, are you fully comp?

    We'll we've been swimming, we seem to have been more productive today than we have been all week put together :o Just having some lunch then we're off round to mums to clean the car (I haven't got an outside tap or anything), and ds can take the dof round the block with her :)

    Spends today = £3.65 for swimming.

    Poor you SmartMart, hope you are all okay, what a pain about your car :(
  • Hey BB

    Grrr to the tax people, hope that you get it sorted without too much hassle. How has DS been behaving today? Sorry to hear that you had a meltdown from him yesterday. But sometimes there is no reason for it, it's just an "of the moment" thing.

    I applaud you on the running programme, i keep meaning to start it, but needed to find a decent sports bra first!!:eek: I will be watching with interest and may start it now that the better weather is (hopefully) on it's way!

    Hope that your day carried on being productive - i defrosted my freezer this morning which was a job in itself, but i did it with my steam cleaner gadget and it helped speed the process up lots:T

    Off to watch the 2nd half of the rugby now, hope we see some tries this half!

    Back from mums, it started raining so I ended up just clearing the junk out of the car and will clean it another day. Nice 3 points for Bournemouth today, well needed, especially with Brighton losing and Huddersfield drawing :j :j Pleased to see Norwich won away again today Hypno ;)

    So, dinners done, I may even sort out my tax return tonight seeing as I'm going to have to submit it after all. I'm sure I got it all sorted, because I sent off for the activation code to submit it online, I just didn't submit it because of their letter. I'm really annoyed about it, at them and at myself. I am so careful watching the pennies that I may have missed something much bigger and more costly :mad: :mad:

    Morning all, so its the last day of the holidays today :( I really don't want to go back, we know we're expecting Ofsted in this term so am not looking forward to it at all.

    Anyway, the sun looks as though it may put in another appearance today which would be great. We need to do some food shopping today and then we're meeting mum and dad down the beach for a walk before going back there for a roast dinner :D

    The flat is pretty tidy at the moment, I want to qhizz round with the hoover again this morning ans just finish off a few bits, the washing basket is practically empty (except for yesteradys clothes), the ironing pile only has about 6 things in it but I want it clear before we go back. I'm off to check the weather forecast for tomorrow as we may walk if its not raining, I am on a mission not to overspend in March, its one of those months where we're at school for the whole month so theres less opportunity to do so, but then its April and we're only at school for 8 days in the whole month, so that will be a tough one :o

    The sun is shining here - it is cold but bright - not bad at all!

    I will be ironing this afternoon too......generally I keep on top of it nowadays, and that is something I NEVER thought I would achieve :D

    Have a good day x
