    All that pampering sounds lovely, and the night out do you the world of good. Have you got a full house for xmas? x


    Pampering was fabulous and I got some lovely compliments on my night out and it boosted my confidence which was lovely.

    No,I don't have a full house for Christmas thankfully.DD1 does the christmas dinner at her house and we all give her money to get the stuff but this year DH and I are going to have our dinner here and go to hers at the night.
    I cannot do the dinner here as DH works on Christmas day and needs a sleep and it is too noisy here

    A very quiet weekend here as haven't done much at all and DH has decided to have today off so not much will get done.

    Tomorrow,I need to stay in for delivery of the 2 missing chairs.Tuesday I need to go to bank, food shopping,fill car,drop charity stuff off and see about my computer course.Depending on what time I get delivery tomorrow I may be able to do some of tuesdays list.Weds am WWs but expect to have put weight on...oops.

    The rest of this week will be filled with decluttering/sorting/filing/accounts/cleaning...so quite a bit to get through.

    Sounds like you had a fantastic night out. I was clocking the time you posted ........and you'd just got in!!!! I was becoming all over motherly and wanting to tap my toes and fold my arms saying something like 'ANNNNDDDD what time do you call THIS young lady' LOL........

    Of course the answer would be 'Time for Taxi to enjoy herself' which it sounds like you did - think I'm jealous you can stay awake so long LOL

    DH's boss has invited us around on 17th - he lives in a very big, posh house - it even had peacocks until recently when they mysteriously vanished. I'm wishing I'd have taken more care with the healthy eating plan.........so now I need a dress for the occasion, and then I need to find shoes - invite states 'smart' dresscode. I don't do dresses really, but I need to get out of the rut I'm in with clothes.... a visit to the shops is on the cards here.

    Does the furniture look fabby?

    Chairs were delivered at 7.45am by courier but needed building so Harveys sent someone around this afternoon to do that.

    Have discovered zooplus today and used quidco and managed to get my dog food at £71.99 for 2x15kgs and £3 cashback...they had a 10% off for first orders ..the normal price on there for 2 is £79.99 and free delivery which is a bargain as I pay about £47 per bag...and you also get reward points every time you spend with them and can get free stuff so if they are any good will be using them again.

    Have not done much else today but am just going to nip out to get the shopping as DD2 has just come in

    I'm impressed with Harveys - customer servises sound pretty good - even if they didn't get it right 1st time they seem to have made ammends.

    Dog food sounds bargainous :)
