    Good Morning all

    Thanks to Pixie for starting us off and for all who post, you are the inspiration I so need.

    Today I will

    Check Banks - Done
    Input cokezone codes - Done
    Wii-fit - managed 2 hours
    Check McDonalds codes - Done, nothing won
    redeem snapfish codes -Done, 100 free prints claimed
    Sort photos from camera and order free prints -need to find lead for OH phone
    washing -in progress but not much to do

    Trying hard again with my mood, last Friday was PMS related. Just having a cuppa and watching one of my fave programme "Secret Millionaire" - I so wish I had something to give but am aiming to "give more" be it in time or RAK's

    Hope you have a great day and remember you are all very special:A

    Evening all!
    Didn't get a chance to pop on yesterday - hope everyone is ok?

    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
    • Took lunch to work
    • Cleaned kitchen
    • 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
    • Read Martin's email
    • Start shopping list for the weekend with meal plan
    • Checked bank and budgets - tight this month due to new hoover, new suit etc but still doable still saving £150 (just)
