    Today was supposed to be a productive day, but i had a mooch round the shops and lost my way. ;) But on a plus i did get 2 xmas and 2 b'day presents for £18. A lovely pink faux suede bag with 70% off in accessories and a coulple of kids pressies in hawkins bazaar at 70% off. Some nice stuff on offer in HB, but all a bit random. I will keep checking it out as big sis wants the fairy light jars but they have not been reduced yet. Had to wait in for ds maths teacher to phone about my queries for monitoring reports, which is settled now (v.positive) - english and french to go!! And my neighbour came over so we could start the ball rolling for this years street party.
    After reading kerri's post i did wonder about asking for some of those bras to add to our homemade bunting - it's that kind of street:rotfl::rotfl:
    bras as homemade bunting? pictores or it's not true :p
    Also would be interested in bras- I range from a 34d to a 38D. When I had my last baby I was a 42DD so losing 5 stone definitely shows somewhere!! I am almost at the end of my first NSD like, ever!!! Im very excited and proud.
    congrats on NSD, jakes-mum has just reminded me of "those types of men" that buy underwears on fleabay, so it's pants and bras going on there tomorrow hehe. Anyone interested in bras I shall post you links :)

    Have just made a spreadsheet to keep track of what I've bought people for the presents box, it spans 6yrs as I bought stuff my nephew can't have until he's 8 haha. I have a row for telling me how much I have left to spend on each person for the year too :)

    Need to make a decent budgeting spreadsheet later for finances. The one I have is naff. I want an all singing all dancing one with forms. Going to google docs it.

    Got fed up of not making payments and paid Freemans another £10. If it's not there then I can't spend it.

    I hope your enjoy your holiday in devon, it's lovely here in the summer just remember to pack wellies and suntan lotion.:D If you are planning to take a few days out on the train, great western offer a group saver ticket 4 adults travel for the price of 2 and kids are a £1. They don't advertise this very well and you need to get your tickets from the cashier not the machine or onlne. HTH

    im sorry but the image of that made me :rotfl:

    My husband moans something cronic about my boobs . . . well they were a 38 DD when we met, he feels that hes been missold :D

    Well at the moment I'm squeezing into 36G's and there is...spillage..:o from all angles. It's not a pretty sight, and I get backache all the time. I was a 34DD at 18, when I was really skinny, so probably won't get much smaller if I do lose the weight, but seriously anything off there is a bonus. Why these so called celebrities want to pump their boobs up to silly sizes, I have no idea.

    It was like that episode of Father Ted where they find themselves in the lingerie section of the supermarket! I was blushing, I can tell you... ;)

    debt busting LOL
  • Paid £70 off one debt and £100 off another today, needed a present for a friends birthday so popped into Boots on way home from work, looked in the sale stuff, something lovely for her, would have liked it myself, then another item and another, finally, £90 for £31.46, got to the till, and found my old Boots points card in my purse, been lingering in there for a while, and OMG had enough points to get everything for £0, what a day. x:money:

    Off to do my shopping list and meal planner for the next week, lets hope it is as good.:T
    Sealed pot (who knows?)

    All debts paid in 2013 :T, apart from overdraft :(, now to tackle that:)

    DEBT FREE FOR CHRISTMAS 2014 please:j
