    Well home now, didn't get out of work on time, due to males panicing. :mad:

    Didn't get into town, just went to the nearest retail park and called in at Matalan to exchange some trousers I had picked a size too big up for (why I dont know) :confused: and saw a gillet reduced to £4 and two pairs of Farah Trousers for £8 each for DH, so treat him. Then did Boots, and found the free Santuary Bag with voucher, eventually found the facial stuff for the £3 off voucher out of the last bag, just got face wipes, and a hand wash so got the 100 points from the ATM and £3 off the magazine voucher, and £2 off the bathing voucher out of the wrap, so didnt even make the £5 for the voucher, so added 2-4-1 aftersun but that had gone down to £6 so didnt have enough for the wrap, so got another 2-4-1 and the free wrap. then applied the £5 voucher I had so total £10.90 for a real bag full, and a further £5 voucher. - Howzat Amie?:T :j

    Congrats on the interview PG - and glad the essays are coming along Roz-V.
    Fingers cross for the other job seekers.

    I know what you mean about Mum's miss both my Mum and MIL, I somehow feel lost not buying a card. Mum will be four years in April, and MIL ten years in June. I try not to remember when they died, as they both had 6 months slow deteriating before hand and it was a blessing in the end, just looked the dates up.:A

    Going to put my feet up now with a coffee and some inane afternoon tv.

    afternoon! I did post this morning but the site went down in the middle so it was lost:rolleyes: and I didn't have the time to redo it.

    Have had another reflexology session this morning:j very relaxing, could have stopped all morning;) also have finished decorating the lounge:j just got a bit of paintwork to touch up but feel the need for a break from it over the weekend.

    Need to start a touch of spring cleaning in the kitchen over the weekend, lots of cupboards to be decluttered.

    Good news here! tap classes finally start again next week!

    Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

    TTFN

    Hello folks :wave:
    Well my washing machine is just on it's final spin of post holiday washing (load #4), and loads 1 to 3 are draped over various appendages in the house to dry. Luckily most of it is non iron. Plus I've just worked out all our spends/credit card bill etc, and we come in £38.33 under budget, which I'm pretty pleased with, as we bought loads of stuff (or seemed too - I never quite realise how good the £:$ ex rate is til I get my credit card bill!).

    Went to the dentist this morning for Root Canal (:eek:) but he couldn't do it, because I still have too much infection from the abcess. The last lot of antibiotics didn't even *touch the sides* as it were. He's given me double strength for a week to clear it up once & for all *fingers crossed*

    Right, am off to JJB sports to spend some money on myself. I have £65 of quidco money due into the bank next week, plus a £5 lightspeed voucher, so I'm off for a new sports bra & some workout gear to motivate me back into the gym. I'm currently wearing 2002 work-issue shorts and a getting-saggier-by-the-day primark (£4) sports bra to the gym, so it's time for some new stuff.

    hope you're all well & happy. Take care

    Evening All

    Been swimming this morning with DD, think I've got a real water-baby on my hands, shes propelling herself along nicely so it will be lessons after Xmas when we get funding for nursery and it frees up some money.

    I thought I was the only one dreading Sunday. I lost my mum 12 years ago when I was 18 and my sis was 15. I find it the hardest day of the year TBH even now I'm a mum and its my day.

    Looking frward to the Fame Academy final tonight will be settling down with a glass of wine and some nibbles I think

    Have a good evening everybody
