    Well I've been a busy girl, I've moved my entire room around to make it more livable and so it doesn't mess with my ocd...here's how it now looks :) and I had a NSD sorting it all out, hoovering, polishing, washing the floor :)

    Quick Hi and bye to everyone as up at 5.30 to go to Nottingham for a trade show! Oh joy!

    Kerri - can you come mine! Struggling with mine and its getting too much. OH has agreed to sell some of the RC cars so there is a result.
    Jakes mum - Its truly magic isn't it
    Fallen wiccan - well done what happened about the broadband?
    Mf0U- how was your appraisal?
    Ghostlove - welcome "officially" on board!

    Kicking myself today had to pull a £10 note out for the toll at Hull however only machine available charged me £1.94 for the pleasure! Pants! Then had to get change for parking and felt guilty going to a motorway services and paying £0.69 for chewing gum! I've become a scrooge!

    Oh the plus side washed & exfoliated the dog last night and then mother in law cleaned the house for me today!

    Right off for shower then bed and see what I can't find now she has tidied everything up!

    I came home at just after lunch today to find DH has cleaned the entire downstairs for me :eek: hes also put a double plug socket on the back of the kitchen unit that sits in the center of my kitchen :D seems all my moaning about having the deep fat fryer steam going staight up under my wall units had indeed been noted :eek:

    DH is currently sat on 'the game' and part of me wants to throw something at the back of his head as hes been on it since 1pm :mad: but the other part is saying 'he did do all that cleaning for you . . . ' hmm, well, ill leave him for the minute, but if he tries to stay on till 1am again like last night im sure I can find a sizeable shoe to launch in his direction :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Thanks camuk and mrs AtS :)

    I've just found a very MSE birthday present for my sister. Going to subscribe and save up 7 copies of "cake decoration" magazine. If I do it through their website I can get lots of free gifts delivered with it :) She's really into her cake decorating and makes cupcakes all the time, so hoping she'll love it as a really well thought out gift. Her birthday is October so it will go in the presents box :D

  • Very excited as been paid. Just waiting for Barclaycard bill to arrive so that I can whack a load off it.:D

    Been very MSE for Mother's day. Made 2 lovely hanging baskets with colourful primulas in. Cost £8 each, garden centre £19.99:eek:
    Bought 2 books from The Book People with free 1st class delivery and 2 beautiful free gift bags. (Much better that I thought they would be, should have been £2.99 each).

    Both sets of parents coming for lunch on Sunday too, so no expensive meals out.

    Hope both mums will love the baskets as I want to keep them and also that I had made them myself!;)
