    Evening all, been to the dentist and got that done, have another appointment in a couple of weeks time to fit the crown. so, its another weekend :j :j Tonight will be a general lazy evening, tomorrow we're heading to mums to watch Bournemouth in the play-offs, then home for Eurovision in the evening :D:D

    Sunday may involve a bike ride and some food shopping at some point, but thats about it I think :)

    Todays spends = £3 on a magazine and snack before the dentist, but I didn't have to pay for the car park (£2) as someone else gave me their ticket as they were leaving :T

    Morning all, sun is shining and it looks like being another nice one here :)
    Off to Mums at about 11, I need to clean the piglets out and then watch the play-offs on Sky, tbh I don't think Bournemouth have much chance, but its good financially even if we don't get through, ever the mse ;):D

    I'm trying to get the housework done before we go although ds is having none of it and is making more mess than I am tidying :o

    Ordered a £25 Amazon voucher from a survey site, I will move the equivalent amount into the mortgage pot and then will use some of it to buy a weighted hula hoop.

    Bed has been stripped and bedding being taken with me to mums to dry on her line :), Tidying and dusting / hoovering of the lounge, kitchen and my room is done, ds bedroom still needs work as always :cool:, bathroom needs a quick spruce. Ironing basket only has 3 items in, not worth getting the board out just for that, dishwasher is unloaded, washing machine is doing its thing, and one lot of ds homework is done, quite a productive day so far me thinks :D:D

    Time now to persuade ds to get his Bournemouth kit on , get the bikes in the car and head over to mums for the footie and a bacon sandwich ;) then out on the bikes if this nice weather holds, it was supposed to rain here today but its lovely so must make the most of it :)

    Finally back home from mums, the footie was fabulous, ended 1-1 with the second leg on wednesday, but we played brilliantly and was a great game :T :T

    Then watched the FA Cup final, not such a great game, had dinner, took the dog for a walk, cleaned out the guinea pigs and came home. Waiting for the water to heat up for a nice bath then bed :) Today has been a nsd which is welcome news too :D

    Afternoon, both a bit sleepy toady, we stayed up and watched all of Eurovision and still woke up at 6.30 this morning :cool:

    Been food shopping, spent £41 but this included a pair of shorts that are going back (£15) and a dvd (£4), so not much actual food really. It makes such a difference when I'm not buying shampoo / detergent etc to the total bill :cool: I also went into Argos and bought a weighted hula hoop (£15) and used £7.50 of nectar points so only actually spent £7.50 on it :T Stopped off at McD's for lunch (£4.50) :o Off now to take mums dog for a walk in the forest :)

    Lovely walk with the dog, spent £1.60 on ice-cream for ds, I was very good and didn't have one :) Home now, chickens roasting nicely, hot waters on for baths, head is thumping, think its because I'm tired so early nights all round planned for tonight ;)
