Another week done, in fact, we break up 3 weeks today :rotfl::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 
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
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
