    And we made it home; we got the bus to the next town, ds went to the drama club and absolutely loved it :D He joined in with the others apparently, was very sensible and can't wait to go again next weekend :j :j

    As he's behaved well I said we could go for a ride on the bus, so have spent the last few hours trekking from town to town on various routes and its *freezing* out there today. Finally made it home and we've just had ham and cheese toasties for lunch and am about to make a big mug of tea to warm my hands up a bit :)

    Spends today = £5.60 bus tickets, £20 sil birthday voucher (present fund), £2 oxo cubes and a hanger for the back of the door, £3 on some gloves and pumps for ds in the sale, £2.50 on stickers and face wipes in superdrug, £1.30 in m&s, £4 in thorntons :o (needed a treat on the bus).

    Same here. I did 4 loads of washing on Thursday night and have just dealt with the ironing pile fallout :). I will do the washing little and often next week....

    Excellent news about the drama club. I think this could be a massive step forward for your ds :T

    Nothing else done off my list, but 3 points for Bournemouth, food shopping done online and all surveys done from my inbox :) Off now for a bath to try to warm up, my hands are still freezing, so a hot bath and cosy pj's are in order :D
