    Hi all

    Ikea are doing a voucher scheme where you give them 5 old books in return for a £5 VOUCHER in certain stores(Lakeside is one)

    Just thought I would mention it.

    Thanks - I'm going to IKEA tomorrow. Just checked campaign does not start until 28th in my closest (Brent) store. Books are to be sold in Save the Children charity shops.

    Morning All

    I've made the sandwiches and sliced my finger so far this morning. DH is at home for the rest of the week so I'm hoping he may do some flying.

    Going to do a Sainsbugs shop now as I've got £12 off a £60 spend.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning, have barely slept as was hot but shivering all night :( why can't kids keep their germs to themselves? They're jumping around all over the place this morning while I'm slumped in a heap. That said, I'm glad it's bedroom day today as mine is disgraceful. We got a new wardrobe a few weeks ago but the old one was only dismantled this weekend, so there's stuff everywhere.

    Good morning all, Hope you are all well xx

    Going to Mum's about 10 and I have a few chores to do today, I wrecked OH's black tie so need to get another one for a funeral he is going to tomorrow and I made hairdressers appointment for after school and then remembered that DD is going to Techniquest with the Brownies, so need to cancel that.
    Also I have borrowed a really good book for college that my friend needs back tomorrow, so need to get some work done from that too.

    Thought it was a good idea to stay up watching telly till 1 this morning!!!! It wasn't!!!!

    Ok, going to go fly around with the dailies till it's school run time..........catch you laters xx
