Not a lot to report apart from the builder/carpenter is hard at work replacing all the wood on the front of my house. I think it will all come to £500 when its finished tomorrow (need a few more supplies so not sure of the end total yet). OH and I are paying half each so that £250 of my hard earned dosh to shell out:( but it really needed doing, the wood was so rotten it was embarrassing!
Other than that...- Had a NSD

- Blow drying brush fell apart but found another one in the bottom of my swimming bag - saved £5-10 on buying a new one:T
- Watched Superscrimpers - bit rubbish really
