    Happy birthday CAFCgirl!!!!!

    Don't let that loser bf get you down.

    I've let the side down and spent £1 on a Mother's Day card. I know I could have made one but I thought about it and decided my mum would actually really prefer a bought one.

    Also spent 55p on the local paper. I'm involved in a campaign to stop the National Trust felling a beautiful avenue of old beech trees so I wanted to see if the paper had covered it. It hadn't - boo hoo. The paper does have a competition to win some beauty products so I'll enter in the hopes of getting something back for my 55p.

    I have just won two tickets to the Ideal Home Show in another comp - should I use them or sell them? Opinions please.

    Happy Birthday CAFCgirl, and well done on getting your deposit back!

    Thanks for all the advice everyone my friend loved her presents, and I charged the kids, they moaned but still paid up. No point in charging DH as all money is joint. (I think I made a profit anyway!!) He, like CAFCgirl's BF is going to St Patrick's night do even though I offered to cook Irish food at home. Apparently he has to go because the Guinness is on offer that night!!
