Not a regular on this thread but pop up now & again. This weekend I have -

- Used the £2 off a 20l fill up at Shell from yesterdays Daily Mirror
- Bit of shopping yesterday in the last hour before Morrisons closed and got some good bargains
- Food from the freezer most of the weekend as stuff in there that needs eating
- Card & wrapping paper from Card Factory for friends birthday (the best place for this sort of stuff imo)
- Clicks/scratchies

Hi all

Sorry I havent been posting recently, work is becoming busier and this weekend I've been back home visiting parents/ family in Warwickshire (oh how I miss home!!). So my DFW things today:-

• [STRIKE]Pay in cheques and cash from selling my horse rugs[/STRIKE] All done so extra money to clear my bills :j
• Read new bread maker instructions
• [STRIKE]Have already done meal planner for this week[/STRIKE]
• Ebay items end today (and they all have bids on) so pack them up
• Add more Ebay items
• Put washing in

Nothing exciting for me today other than went to Mothercare with my gift card and bought a few bits but mainly travelling back to Lincolnshire!!

Hope everyone has had a great weekend.

What an ace day this has been ... mist cleared away and it's been really nice, so we (myself and DS) hit the beach with a picnic. There was also a wee fair there with a few rides so DS had a great time (although it ended up not being an NSD).

Nicki_Sue I was just browsing on amazon's discount finder and they've got loads of Emily B maternity and nursing underwear for very few pennies!!! I remember when I was preggers I spent a fortune on mine then couldn't wait to get rid of it afterwards...such a waste of money!
