    So, todays mfw steps ....
    • completed all surveys from my inbox
    • made £10 on a games offer
    • boxed up car boot stuff in the garage ready for the summer
    • have been paid £84 interest for the year for one of my isa's :) (this stays in the isa rather than the mortgage pot but all helps)
    • emptied out the car after taking stuff to the tip, ready to clean it tomorrow
    • arranged to have a roast dinner tomorrow at mums :)
    Tomorrow will be a relaxing day, weathers supposed to be nice again. Plans are to clean the car, inside and out, plan sunday/mondays trip to legoland/chessington, a bit more housework stuff, maybe a flutter on the National :)

    One load of washing is done, just a handwashing load to go :) All the flat is tidy (except for ds bedroom which is a huge other project :cool:), just about to hoover through then am done with housework for this morning, its too nice out there to be indoors cleaning ;)
    So we're going to go the forest for a bit, maybe pick up mums dog en route. Have just measured out my cereal and am pointing religiously now for the holidays, need to get back on track properly :) At some point I want to pop into tescos and get some bits, and also pay in a couple of cheques at the bank. Flip-flops and suncream are on, happy days :D

    Evening all, we've had a lovely day today, we went out in the forest for a walk / play footie this morning, then on to my mums where we cleaned the car inside and out, then watched the National / footie scores. Bmth managed to lose again today :( and I didn't have a flutter but am pleased as there was nothing about the winners name that would have seen me bet on it, so some money saved there ;)

    Foodwise I have been really good today, have enough points left over for a tube of smarties later on tonight after my bath.

    Came home, have roasted some veggies to go with a salad tomorrow, ds has gone to the park with a neighbour and her son, so I have got the ironing done while he's out and hoovered through. Just sitting down now for some laptop time while watching Mamma Mia :D

    Bath done, and lovely surprise, I got out to find ds had got into his pj's, got into bed and fallen asleep :j :D:D

    So now I'm going to mooch on here for a bit, check out Chessington / Legoland websites, maybe paint my toenails a la Hypno ;) and maybe check out pof and see if there are any newbies on there this week :)

    Which takeaway do you use pink lady? We've been naughty tonight, got rid of the boys to mum and dad, and walked down the hill to the Thai Elephant. Mind you, we did get a taxi back home!!!
