    Morning, its a good one here so far; I've made £9 profit from a games offer and postie has just brought me a cheque for a tenner from a betting site that I'd forgotten was coming :D

    Todays plan is to (a) collect the guinea pigs from mums, (b) go to the library for a book club with ds this afternoon and (c) go to a friends house who has promised ds she'll make banana splits with him :)

    Off to look for more bets ;)

    Morning again! Today we're off to the cinema with my nephews to see How to train a dragon, then I need to go to Argos to collect some Le Crueset dishes that were reduced to £15.99 and are an absolute bargain (sorry Hypno!), I have a £10 voucher from a survey site so they'll only cost me £5.99 :beer:

    Other than that its a housework kinda day, can't do the food shopping til tomorrow as the £10 voucher isn't valid until then which is a bit annoying as I wanted to get it done today.

    Nothing much else to report at the moment, be back later :D

    Ooooh, le creuset - think I need to keep myself away from the Argos site!!

    "Enjoy" the housework, I did some yesterday and need a fun day today to get over it. Guess it helps that it's nice and sunny today :)

    Am very pleased with the Le Crueset, they're quite small sizes but thats perfect for just the two of us :)

    The film was good, then we went to Poundland and I spent a tenner on halloween bits, some brown paper, a book and a silicone loaf tin. We also went to McD's for lunch (£5.65) and I also got petrol. I checked my receipt later on and saw I'd been charged for someone elses, it was only £4 difference but its not the point, so I had to go back there for a refund :cool:

    Ds is now stroppy, think he's tired. I've hoovered through, done 2 loads of washing, have the ironing to tackle and the bathroom and kitchen to clean :o Then its the usual bath routine on a sunday ready for the week ahead :)

    Enjoying the Help for Hereos concert, Robbie is scrummy still isn't he ;):D

    Tomorrow we're going to walk to school, I need to crack back on with the ww and the exercise; don't think I'm heading for Shred again, tht was tough, but maybe. I'm hoping I can focus myself on a couple of months blitzing my figure, this week I want to get back into walking as much as possible and not taking the car automatically, then maybe next week I'll think about whether Shred makes a re-appearance in my house :cool:

    Am in bed already with the laptop, and I've done the ironing tonight :j I'm now going to spend some time adding to my 101 things in 1001 days list, ready to start in November. I know its a long way off yet but I really want it to be 101 things I truly want to do :D
