    Today I gave my FIL his heat gun back, plus a hammer drill and an electric saw that I found of DH's.

    In return they made me a cup of tea, and gave me my (very filthy) children back. They'd also had a friends kiddies over so four under the age of six, lol, FIL said it was like a branch of barnados. Lol.

    I wasn't given it but I took a very sad looking plant that had been thrown out at the hospital.

    I am sure it will be fine with a bit of water poor thing!

    MIL came round today with an extending garden fork. It's very good quality, and nothing we could afford ourselves. I think she's hinting (in a really lovely way) that I need to weed the garden.. :rotfl:

    Again not given but just found a pair of Armarni jeans, a beautiful olive oil tin I will use for planting and a huge Stella Artois glass.

    have just posted in the 'extra payment a week' thread in more detail but wanted to pop it in here also, yesterday I got given the money for a few days away with the little one and I could quite honestly cry.

    My lovely neighbour gave me a manicure using adhesive foils. She was bought a set for her birthday and I admired them yesterday, this morning she knocked on my door and asked if I'd like her to do my nails. What a lovely surprise :)
    Tomorrow when I have some cash I'm going to buy her a bunch of yellow roses - I always buy yellow for friends as it represents friendship.
