    Evening all

    I have had a fab day though spent a fair bit!!! :(

    OH and I had a day off together today so we took the kids to watch Toy Story 3 in 3D and then to pizza hut. Kids eat free with any adult meal so The meal cost £19.18 and £24 for the cinema! I keep feeling bad we spent so much but then over the holidays we have done soooo many things on tesco vouchers or geocaching in the countryside which doesn't cost a penny etc. So the odd holiday spend shouldn't feel too bad.

    Then i went in ELC and the wooden toy tree house was in stock to go with DD2's dolld house. I had a 20% off voucher so i got it for £32. That will be her main presents to go with a few little bits and then some clothes to see her through the winter which i will need to buy anyway.

    I hope every one has had a great day

    Josie - loved the pic of your DD you put on yesterday - she is so darn cute :-) xxx

    perfectpeaches - i hope you are feeling better soon xxx

    Benncounting - i hope your DD's results were good xxx

    Happy holidays...??!:T

    Remember to attach the adaptor plug to a 4 socket extension cable and then you get 4 sockets for the price of 1 adaptor plug...


    Brilliant tip - thanks so much, I've never thought of doing that

    Jonno - there is a post on the grabbit thread - M&S have an offer of two bottles of bleach with limescale remover for 70p. That might do the trick.

    Must dash, as I am at work - but it is my last day so I am being naughty and coming on here!:p


    Thanks so much, will pop by one tomorrow and give it a whirl.

    Good news :T! DD got a B and two Cs, which now secures her place at Uni. Am so pleased, I even shed a tear :o:D. She's over the moon having not expected to get the grades she needed (her confidence hasn't been too good lately :() so this was just the boost she needed.

    I'm one very happy Beeny :) .
