    Hey everyone :wave:

    Not really got much to add for the day... Hmmm... Going to check my purse for any coins under 50p for the pot, going to email my mate (not call), have a hot chocolate, watch some TV and get an early night.

    Hang in there stitchy. Take things a day at a time and make sure you make time for you. Dr escy is prescribing a hot chocolate and a night on the sofa!

    lol it was her idea to sell the leapster to get money.

    I was getting her a DSi and then they both wanted the Harry Potter Hogwarts castle in Lego set (£100) so i said i would put £50 of each of their presents towards it if Lexie helped with the cost of her DSi with the money from her leapster!! She found all the bits for me ready to sell!

    Also remembered i won a raffle prize today! Will put it towards OH's presents i think as it is some chocolates we both like! :j
