    Hi Happy. I keep thinking someone will get creeped out by my note and the shop will run through the CCTV to see who did it!! Lol

    Had a LSD yesterday- just £2 on a tango cherry ice blast at the cinema. Breaking Dawn part 2 was pretty good :D !The Cgi baby was quite creepy though!!

    We had a quick dinner of veggie fingers and hm wedges before I went. !So very MSE.!

    My day at work I finish at 2.30 and get to pick up the kids :-) then I am having my cousins over for tea (they are my DDs age) and off to skittles.

    I plan to work on our photo books for Xmas tonight. Also research some Xmas card ideas. Last night I designed and printed my brothers 21st !birthday invites. They are pretty cool I think. I also arranged the secret Santa for my online mums group last night which is a weight off my mind.!

    Food today- eggs and sausages for tea. Hm leek and potato soup for dinner. All things in stores!!

    This was a longer post than I thought!!

    Right time to get off the bus!!

  • A little bit planned for the weekend.

    Today the kids have ballet classes and we are going to make gingerbread :D

    Then a family roast tonight and a nice evening watching the mentalist and Masterchef.

    Tomorrow we are having BIL and SIL over so we need to do a little food shopping. Then DD2 has a party to go to and afterwards we are visiting my cousin who had a little baby beginning of October as we haven't met him yet!!!

    Planned the xmas cards I want to make- just need to get on with them now :D
