    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh C I'm jealous. Hope you have a fab time!!!

    I've (for once) had a really good weekend!

    BF took me out for dinner on friday night, so put my heels and lip gloss on. The lovely woman who owns the restaurant (a chinese) kept telling me I had lovely hair! Bless her, and yeah BF did give her a tip lol
    Then came back and lounged and watched Hot Fuzz!
    Saturday worked but went really quickly. Came home, cooked fajitas and had a really relaxing one.
    Then today got treated to lunch and a nice walk out and about........

    All round loveliness and the only money I've spent has been on cooking stuff!

    Opps actually thats a lie. I did spend £5 on a dvd rental, but its 4 discs and for one whole week... but BF did give me £10 for cooking stuff so I'm hoping that'll cancel it out! LOL

    Oh dont mind if it doesnt anyway because I had a lovely weekend :)
    Hope everyone has been keeping it low today, you're all very quiet!!!

    eeh by gum - you've all been so quiet - hope you haven't been out buying unnecessaries??
    Not me though - no money until Tuesday, so no spends.
    Plans for this week
    Buy presents for DGDS' birthdays - allegedly from birthday christmas budget!!
    However pops is working at present so hopefully he will put at least half towards them.
    Haven't got any ideas though - DGD1 will be 3 next monday - likes princess things I have been told -DGD2 will be 1 a week after - she doesn't need anything cos of DGD1. All reasonable suggestions will be welcome!
    Will also cost to go & see them, but that is very necessary!!
    Think I may be a proper nanny & bake cakes to take & some of my wine store!!
    Still haven't sorted out this house or listed things on ebay though - please feel free to give me a kick up the ....

    Well done Peaches! That debt is coming down big style - way to go girl!
