    Ehhhh SF - I wont comment as I have an ipad ( a few years old now) and yes while I do use it - I probably could live without it :D.

    Well Done on completing your lists - and am so jealous that in a few weeks you will be off to the sunshine - could you send some sun back please

    Have a good day x

    Afternoon Aamberle :hello: DH won't let me have one :( so I guess I'll have to forget about them for now... ;)

    So, another start to the week! Today has actually gone pretty quickly so far :) It's only 10 days until the end of term, I can't wait :D

    Nothing much to report. I was sad at the tennis yesterday :( and hearing how emotion Andy was made it hard to watch :( I do believe he'll do it someday though! Me and DH need to pop to Mr Ts at some point and do our food shopping as we didn't go during the weekend, but I don't know if I can be bothered to go tonight ;) we shall see...

    So... I want an iPad.... :whistle: :o but DH won't let me have one...ever... :(

    I don't really need one... do I? :o

    I thought I wanted one too, well, maybe, I still do, but only because it's an iPad. I got a small laptop instead, I had to have something as my computer had died. The laptop does more than an iPad. When I'm richer I might treat myself to a Kindle though!

    That's it - I already have a Macbook which is perfectly adequate, I just get carried away by advertising sometimes :o DH has a kindle and loves it! Maybe I should get one of those....
    So I'm hoping today will be a NSD. Me and DH went to Mr Ts last night (and somehow chocolate doughnuts reduced to 23p and 2 almond croissants reduced to 35p jumped into the trolley :whistle: ) and we spent £31.50 there but we're stocked up for the week :) I also got some petrol whilst we were there, so that's done as well.
    I had an almond croissant and a cuppa for breakfast this morning, was heavenly :D can't be doing that every morning ;)
