    Morning all, so the weather looks a bit pants again today, luckily I have lots planned to fill the day :)

    Ds is at holiday club from 1-6 this afternoon, he can play / watch a dvd this morning. I have to do a mystery shop, have food order delivered, have next order delivered, go out somewhere just to try out the new sat nav :D, and then work on several bits from my list. I will probably work on my bedroom today, which means gutting all my clothing, sorting all paperwork, sorting under my bed, and various other bits that I didn't put on the list. Then maybe on sunay when ds is at his dads I can tackle his bedroom. One room at a time me thinks ;)

    Ten more minutes mooching on here then get up, get dressed, have some breakfast and get cracking, have a good day! :)

    My Next order has been delivered already :T My red heels are gorgeous :D My long black boots are great, ds wellies and ugg type boots are fab too. The maxi dress will go back as its way too long and I'd trip over it all day long, not sure yet about the top either, so definitely keeping £40 of stuff, possibly another £15.

    Ds is at holiday club, the mystery shop has been done, it involved checking a product (choc cake) and any with a certain code on I had to buy. I ended up buying 24 packs of them @ £1.30 each :eek: I now have 2 carrier bags full of them, not sure yet whether I will have to send them back or keep them, luckily they are one that ds loves, but if I do get to keep them I think I'll be visiting all my friends handing out cake :D:D

    Now I have a few hours of peace and quiet, I need to get some housework done, the place is like a bombsite again :o

    Its one helluva list Pixie, but have you noticed how little of it has been crossed off ?? :o:o
    I had all good intentions of doing it while ds was out this afternoon, but ended up chatting online with coffee guy for lots of it :) Never mind, ds is home now, time to get dinner then will try to get a couple of things crossed off it tonight :D
