Evening all. Very late post from me as we have been out all day with an early start. DH best mate treated us to a morning at a waterpark which was great. Also today:
Popped to see OH nan - had some tea there
Swam for free
5 items sold on fleabay
Listed another 12, included my beloved diesel jeans, which I am never going to fit into again and are in as new condition. However, whilst trying to list at speed, get DD back to bed for the 20th or so time I knocked the iron on to my rug and now have a lovely iron print on my rug of only a few months old :eek: so unless my jeans make me a millionaire the balance of my fleabay sales will go on a new rug :eek: am well miffed :mad:
Picnic tomorrow - food from stores
Take DD to free playground for a run around
List some more on fleabay on Sunday
Try and make the maternity dress the cat used as a bed one day look like quality brown silk again without having to have it dry cleaned :eek: then list
Meal plan for next week, shouldn't need anything except maybe milk and veg
Try and list some games and CDs on magpie
Work out how the 3 of us can go to a fancy dress party for heroes and villians without it costing a fortune (or anything really) any ideas anyone?
Move money from present account to cc for wedding gift I bought today

Think that's all - should keep me out of mischief. Have a lovely weekend everyone. Enjoy the sunshine everyone whilst we can :)

Pixie - ill keep my eye out for your new diary!

Today

Walk and picnic
Watch the golf
Dinner at MIL's
Little bit of housework
Arrange childcare for tomorrow

Nothing more than that for this gorgeous Sunday!

hey jonno - I love fancy dress! - how about one of the Krays for hubbie, just need a suit and thin tie and slick backed hair. The baby out of the the incredibles or Tarzan (I think you have a boy???) and for you Trinity out of the matrix, Magaret Thatcher - could be either a villian or a heroine depending on your outlook! Lara Croft?

just some ideas that you could probably throw together x

Morning Stitchy & so sad :wave: thanks for starting us of stitchy - can you put a smilie in the title bar? Had trouble finding you this morning with my bleary eyes!

Yay to two whole glorious days of freedom :T Thinking I might need to book some time off soon, as weekends go so quick and work seems to be taking over my life during the week.... (although I was only off for 2 weeks in June!)

• go pay £20 into bank acc
• [STRIKE]opened new savings account as my current one loses its "bonus" (paltry of course!) as its been open just over a year[/STRIKE] need to wait until Monday to call my current savings acc and close it down - no function online....
• [STRIKE]need to wrok out where what is coming from where on my cc statement[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]update budget for next month[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]do fridge/freezer/cupboard stock take and then a meal plan/shopping list[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]do some exercise - probably swimming[/STRIKE] went for a walk along the coast line and ended up at the oyster festival in whitstable where we shared a fish and chips and had a pint
• list some things on ebay
• [STRIKE]do some housework[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]watch a film later with oh[/STRIKE]

Sure there'll be some more things but that will do for now! Happy weekend to you all x
