    Another week done, in fact, we break up 3 weeks today :rotfl::D :D
    Not a great deal to report today, I need to go to mums in a bit to sort out the guinea pigs (she's at my brothers for the weekend), other than that theres not much taxing stuff planned for tonight ... I did treat myself to a magazing today (Instyle) as it had a free Nails Inc nail polish on it and its a gorgeous milky coffee colour :) so I will try and get some sofa time to read that :D

    This weekend I'm taking ds on the bus tomorrow, and will get some new t-shirts etc when we get to the shops, before returning on another ridiculously long route that seems to go down practically every back road between here and town :cool:

    On sunday we're going for a nice walk in the forest with a friend, her son and their dog :)

    Guinea pigs are safely tucked up for the night, the rain has just arrived and I have decided to stop biting my fingernails (another part of op. utt fab), as I am utterly in love with the new nail varnish I got today and need some nails to put it on :D I've got it on my toes but I need nice long fingernails too to really be happy :) So, in 4 weeks time I should have nice enough nails to warrant it.

    I have completed all available surveys from my inbox too tonight which took a while, I'm planning on spending an hour or so checking various possible money-earning things such as survey sites, mystery shopping sites, and seeing if theres any pennies to be made tonight anywhere :)

    Pixiechick ... have you remembered to be doing the Glamour magazine freebie comp that you told me about last year? I forgot the first couple of days this month but am clicking it each day now ;)

    Home from our bus trip today, I spent £5.70 on bus tickets :eek:, £6 on burger king for lunch, and £21 in primark. This included 3 lightweight jumpers for me (black, cream and blue), a t-shirt for me, 6 pairs of socks for me and a scarf, and 3 t-shirts for ds :)

    This afternoon involves vegging on here and pottering indoors. We also got a game for the wii and a dvd from Blockbusters as I still had 9 rental vouchers from clubcard deals, and they need using by the end of June :o

    I text him to let him know, he said he was pleased but wasn't worried about it :) Nothing else from him today ;)
