    The nsd didn't last :o We went for a lovely walk down the beach then stopped off for fat the shop and got some kitchen roll (£1 for 4), and a new frisbee for ds as his got broken at the park (£1.49), then a kiddie meal from the chippie for ds (£2.95) :cool:

    However, ds did find 1p on the floor and picked it up and said "I can put that in my holiday savings pot" :D:D

    Comfy sleepsuit is on, legs are killing me, can hardly walk, damn you Davina :p Lazy sofa night with X-Factor tonight for me :)

    I've bought my nephews birthday present today, he wanted a ds game and a book and I usually spend £20 but managed to get them both for £14.38 :T The savings will stay in the xmas fund as there are bound to be additional xmas expenses I haven't budgeted for. Actually, I haven't budgeted for ds at all, but I do already have a Wii game and roller skates bought and put away for him so it will mainly be stocking fillers needed.

    I have altered my signature again, this time the weightloss part, I have decided I want to get down to 9st 7lbs by next summer. I have never worn a bikini and am determined to do it on holiday next year, I have plenty of time to get there, I am aiming to lose one stone by Christmas which will then leave me with a stone to go after xmas :D

    Morning all, so its the last day of my holidays :( but its also a day nearer to next years holidays :D The nice weather has gone and its peeing down today so that makes it a bit easier to go back too.

    Today I was going to do Davina again but my legs are very sore today, can hardly sit or stand, so will rest today, as you're meant to give your body time to recover, and will do it again tomorrow night as ds is having a sleepover at mums tomorrow night.

    Todays plan is to get the ironing done (not much in the pile), get some stuff on ebay (free listing today), go to mums for roast beef at lunchtime and then bring the guinea pigs home with us for the winter :) Then tonight will be baths and packing bags ready for school for me tomorrow :o

    Woohoo, back from mums and have listed 25 items on ebay, its all ds stuff but it seems to work out better selling bits individually rather than as a set. Anyhow, the sets are selling for approx £15, but having listed it individually less than 2 hours ago, I already have bids of £12.50 with nearly a week to go :j :j

    Been out for a nice walk with ds (he was on his bike) and purposefully left my purse at home so today has been a nsd :T :T Just waiting for the hot water then I'm off for my bath, can't wait as my legs still ache so badly :o:o

    Sold a bin already for £3.99 too :j :j That doesn't go to the holiday fund, ds said that once we get to £20 he will get his next extension pack for his Hornby, and then any extra will go towards the holiday, trained him well :D:D
