    Evening all. Just a very quick stop by for me. Had a bit of a nightmare evening, literally step in the door from work and the phone rings, expect it to be a courtesy call and nearly didn't answer it. Turned out to be my mum from a pay phone (left her mobile at home) in town and had lost her house and car keys. Unfortunately the shops had shut so couldn't check if she'd lost them in one of them, called the AA but can't get anyone out until tomorrow. She was in a bit of a flap so drove her home, car stuck in car park for the night, stayed and had a wee cuppa and a blether with her until she was feeling a bit better (she'd had a carp day even before that happened) I did manage to get her to raise a smile when she said 'I should have just stayed in bed today', my reply - 'well at least you wouldn't have lost your keys if you had' lol!

    Good job I still have a house key so at least she could get in.

    Oh, and no NSD for me. Stopped in Mr T (took items back from yesterday) bought eggs (free range, 6 for 89p - good deal!) and the B1G2F cheese thinking i had 2 blocks left in the freezer and needed to get one out only leaving one....came home to find I had 4 blocks in the freezer! whoops! one out, and 6 in the freezer now in total, don't think I'll be needing to cheese shop for a bit!

    Thanks hun, I'm trying to but it's all a bit manic this week...... I'm hoping it will calm down again tomorrow, the last two days have been a bit mad!!:(

    I may well take you up on your offer next week if this carries on and you don't mind.

    spoon i'll have a think about when and how etc if thats ok? and i didnt know there were prizes involved!! that means FREE STUFF!! woop xxxxx

    Hi Rach
    It's a pleasure, lovely to have you on board x

    That's fine, you have a think about how you want to play this. You can join in this month without setting a target if that helps you to work it out. Whatever you want to do is fine.

    The "prizes" are on the front page - just some novelty smilies I put up there every month as a bit of motivation for us all.

    Hope they make you smile, that's what they're intended to do.

    spoon xx
