Congrats on the job mama and welcome x
bonnie *gasps* bu...bu...but it's Gary Barlow how very dare you
Think I got most of yesterdays list done, didn't do the 'town' bits cos teenie had to go out so I had to come back to look after littley who was still in her pj's and so I decided to have an hour just chillin'.....it worked wonders. She's doing brilliantly at school level 5.5 for pretty much all of her subjects.....she's teriffic....gets her brains from her Pa and her looks from her Ma!
So, town bits this morning instead before work, which is fine even though it's bitterly cold. Random thought: My tree gets nicer by the day.
Listy:-
* Town:- NEXT, Argos, Poundshop, cardshop for gift bags and Bank, perhaps a cheeky mcdonalds brekkie for moi.
