    My summer clothes didn't really sell, so I reckon photograph them, box them, then whack them on end of Spring. That's what I'm going to do with my ones I think, no point listing if there's no interest :)

    Have a nice weekend too x

    What a weekend lol. OH is still in bed (cant get him up)..

    Yesterday omg.. the stress.. I went to B & M and filled up my trolley with £68.00 worth of xmas goodies.. it was jam packed in there!! we que'd for over half an hour.. people were pushing, moaning.. sighing.. knocking stuff over. I was so hot i thought i was gunna give birth in the store lol..
    We finally got to the til and was shown a cash only sign ( i could have been sick) the card machines had gone down.. people were yelling and screaming.. they tried my card twice but no connection. So ended up having to leave the lot there and i wanted to strangle someone lol.. felt so sorry for the girls on the tills.
    Realised blood sugars were low, had forgot to bring pack lunch in the car.. so ended up in McDONALDS grrr , 3 meals in total.. for us 3.. and then i was still fuming so we had a round of icecreams lol... i did feel better for it tho and little man was happy with his happy meal... OH had a big tasty that looked bigger than him lol..

    I got OH to drive me to TK max.. they stayed in the car and i did the aisles.. £90. something ish pounds later.. i walked out and it was pitch black.!! I had been in there 2 hours.. had a mini panic that OH would be annoyed.. but he pulled up outside and was a delight :-) told me to get in while he loaded the car up.

    On reflection im gad i didnt get the B & M stuff.. the quality in TK Max is so much better and was very reasonable ( you find it hard to part with the gifts) so you know its good stuff :)

    so xmas budget is spent and well MC donalds will be masked over lol :)
  • Don't beat yourself up over the McD. I got a takeaway the other day and felt no remorse at all. A slight tinge of conscience was superceded by the thought that it was really nice and I'd really enjoyed the self pampering!
    The B&M experience sounds awful. Glad that it worked out for the better.
    Make hubby get up and cook the dinner in recognition of yetserday's efforts!!

    After an evening of searching tumble dryer deals.. weve gone from a top of the range £450.00 to a £150.00 basic like the one we had.. to nothing..
    We are not going to buy one... no no no... everyone i know is hanging there clothes out.. so weve decided to do the same and it will save us on the electric bill aswell... and we will get used to hanging on the line properly in the summer (how awful we wernt always doing this).. so new changes to be made! we have radiators aswell.....
    So what set out to cost us money has actually saved us money :-D and better for the globe!
