    So today has turned out as a cooking day, so far we have done bread rolls and chocolate brownies, which are almost done and smell divine, really going to test my ww resolve here :o:o

    Popped into co-op earlier and spent £8 which included a punnet of raspberries reduced to 6-p, a punnet of strawberries reduced to £1.20 and some blueberries reduced to £1.50. Fruit salad tonight then :D Maybe it will be fruit topped chocolate brownie ;):D

    I have been teaching ds to play chess this afternoon too, he seems to have picked it up quite quickly, now needs lots of practice to learn to enjoy the strategy side of the game :)

    Mum and dad are coming round in a minute for a tea-party with ds home-made delights :D I'm quite impressed, the kitchen is still tidy, all washing up is done and put away :T

    Re eyebrows - I got mine threaded the other week, doesn't seem to have lasted as long as waxing does and it cost more!

    Surely if your eyebrows have been tamed, they shouldn't be coming together, should they?

    :cheesy:

    Morning :)

    SS - I've been thinking about getting them threaded for a while as the results are supposed to be better, but I'm a wuss, I'm fine with my left eye but the right one really hurts so I don't want to let anyone else do it :o

    Thankyou Buffy :T I'm glad you enjoy it, when I read it back sometimes it just sounds very repetitive ...

    Mart - oops, I should read it back before posting ;):D

    So today, ds has been safely dispatched to holiday club for the day, and I haven't written my plan of action like I said I would :o:o I think I am going to tackle my bedroom cupboards / under my bed etc this morning and then this afternoon start getting some bits on ebay or turbolister. I have a free day tomorrow too but am going clothes shopping and meeting the ex again, and another free one on friday, but will be sorting car boot stuff / trips to the tip etc then ;)
