    oh and Mart, think you picked the wrong day to not go and watch your team :D

    :(:eek::mad::eek::(

    How true. First time in seven years that we've scored five goals away, first hat trick in five years, biggest win away since we joined the League.... need I go on? :rotfl:

    Ah well, such is life. I saw them win at Exeter last week and I will see them win against Bournemouth in four weeks time so no problems....:T

    As if ;):D
    I was actually pleased they won as Leyton Orient are the team behind us in the league, and as we yet again didn't manage a win today I was pleased to see them lose :)

    Morning all, so ds having an early night was clearly not a good idea, he was wide awake by 4 this morning :( which also meant the dog and I were awake too, so much for a lie-in this weekend :cool:

    He's had breakfast and is now watching a dvd, I made coffee and have got back into bed, its way too early to be up on a sunday.

    Have any of you sent me a friend request on f/b? Just that I received one last night and have no idea who it is!

    So todays plans, when I finally wake up properly, are to do the food shopping, do the ironing, ds to do his homework, return the dog to mums and not much else :)

    Thanks Chev, hopefully it will give me a bit of a kick to get going again ;)
    This new tesco offer looks amazing, basically if you find stuff that is cheaper in asda then they refund you double the difference, up to £20 per day, total £100 per calendar month. Off to try and get my first £20 today, then will be going again each day until the end of March, basically by comparing their website with Asda you can see what to get and cna get £20 of shopping and then basically get it refunded, time to stock up me thinks :D

    Sounds like a plan. Wish we had something like this over here. Grocery shopping is so expensive as a proportion of your income now.

    Back from tescos, spent £28 on normal shopping, then another £28 on dtd stuff, picked up more than needed lol, and should get £20 voucher back for that lot. It included a 50 wash box of Persil, a kg tub of vanish oxi stuff, 2 sure deodorants, a big bottle of herbal essences conditioner and some biscuits :) Can't wait to go again tomorrow now :D

    Yep, saw it on the grabbit board :D Hoping the offer lasts a while, you can claim up to £100 per calendar month (£20 per day max) so will be off to tescos again tomorrow after school :)

    Todays tasks with a nod to mfw:
    • tesco dtd
    • roast dinner at mums :)
    • ds given £1 piggy bank money from mum :T
    • ds had bath while at mums, saves me putting the hot water on again
    Not a huge amount today, but no surveys in on a sunday. Other than tescos I haven't spent any money, we've had lots of fresh air, we're both sleepy, the flats nice and tidy, uniform is out ready for the morning, and ds is currently playing at a neighbours house :)

    For the rest of this evening I need to:
    put the rubbish out, clean the kitchen floor, pack bags for the morning, sort my eyebrows, plan meals for the week (WW has totally gone to pot for the last 3 days, I've been ravenous the whole time I've been feeling ill :o), print off ds homework, and then have an early night :D
