    Hi LiT, glad you had a great time!

    My mum emptys her freezer every now and then and I usually get what is left at the bottom like pizzas and stuff that she buys on offer in case we drop by!
    One small step for ME, one giant leap for my family!

    Must be my lucky day!!! I decided to have a quick game of bingo and I won £100!!! HAHA only played with £5!! Will go into my savings pot once it comes back into my account. Bought a euro millions ticket for tonight.....well ya never know, it comes in 3s so they say lol.

    Spending the rest of the day monging it, may even finish off my bottle of Kahlua that I treated myself to whilst on holiday. Well I dont need to get up early in the morning and I dont technically have to look after the kids as they are old enough to look after themselves.

    Tomorrow I do however need to have a baking day but will do this with my youngest as he loves helping me cook. (He wants to be a chef!) I also need to do some cleaning and get some more washing done. Will come up with tomorrows agenda later.
