    Please remind me never take the DCs grocery shopping :eek: I was very strong and didn't let them put anything in the trolley that wasn't meant to be there....although shopping at l!d! there is less temptation than Sainsbugs :T What they did do is argue all the way round as to whos turn it was to push the trolley so i took it off them and then they sulked :( On the good side ...they are home from their dads :p

    As i said before i have been reading MGs diaries all week (and no i haven't finished yet :cool:) and whether its concious or not THE UNIVERSE has been working its magic this week :D

    1st - I have 2 people who want to buy my car when i get my new to me one. One offered £150 and yesterday another person offered £200 :D as its an old ford and will have hardly any tax or mot and no stereo i am happy with £200 UNLESS the first person offers more :D

    2nd - i have a 3 men ogling me this week... a huge boost to the confidence :D

    3rd - childminders best friend thought i had been on '10 yrs younger' (i haven't :p) ...new hair do, more weight loss and new teeth > :D

    4th - childminder has told me i don't have to pay this week as the DCs have missed going to hers a few times :T:T

    5th - i saw a friend in town today, went for toilet seat, her reaction to seeing me .....WOW!!!!! look at you :D

    Real looking forward to next week now...its got a lot to live up to :T:rotfl::T

    I got loads done yesterday, my living room moved around, and skirting boards were duely cleaned :p so today is is vaccing and dusting day and we are all done :D As i did upstairs a couple of weeks ago all i have to do is keep up to the cleaning...mmmmmm:rotfl:

    Took the DCs into town after school, i promised, 12 months ago, to take them to the traditional sweet shop, gave them a £1 each to spend. Then called in at various charity shops, for such a small town we have 5 charity shops and as parts of he town are very affluent :D people like me who love a bargain reap the rewards :D my buys were a pair of knitting needles 75p, a crotchet hook (not actually sure if it is???) 25p, a pie dish 30p and some seat pads for the dining chairs (THE most uncomfortable chairs in the world!!)£2.50 :D Not too bad i dont think :D

    Today inbetween cleaning the BM will be on and i'm having a go at making parsnip soup...3 bags of parsnips in c00p for 75p :D

    Off to find a recipe for the soup :T

    Have a fabby day
