    It's lovely but you're really buying the name here I think, I'm sure you could get it cheaper from the Le Creuset Outlet at Castleford.:D
    nooo

    I missed that one...

    beds stripped and airing

    I don't think working *almost* full time agrees with me. It will agree with the bank balance though...but I probably won't get [paid until November - still in time for Xmas though


    Thanks for the news on msgnomey magscat - not coming back then?

    ooh, Flaylady meet at Castleford? Only about 1.5 hours for me I think :D

    I frittered today and got naff all done. Ikea (Giltbrook) to use a £10 off voucher mostly. DH needs to assemble some stuff for me tomorrow - thought about doing it myself but to quote my mum, 'why keep a dog and bark yourself?'. No bookcases this time :cool:

    I have, as usual, at least hoovered and emptied/filled the DW.

    Pigpen-sticky vibes being sent to your friend Sally's embies. I've just had a failed attempt with a donated one and hope to have another try soon. That 2 week wait is just awful.
    I've been at work from 7 until 3 today then after collecting DD from school I helped her with her reading (well I looked at the book trying to encourage her whilst she rolled around, stuck her legs in the air, scratched her bum and looked everywhere but the words she was supposed to be making sense of-I do hope she sits better at school!!LOL!!). However with less than 30 minutes to go before we set off to her swimming lesson I decided to clear the shelf of one of my cupboards-this flying is adictive!!!
    No more to be done today though as I'm off to bed shortly as I'm up at 5.30 again tomorrow.
    July grocery- 24.40/220. NSD-1/3.
    Myself, DD, 2 cats, 35 weeks pregnant.
    Debts- CC's- V-775, F-1253.10, BC-3291.80, T-1429.08. Total-6748.98. All 0%. Aim- to pay £200 per month.
