    Hi

    Still have the crispy £10 still in my wallet and i have even been out with DD's to the park and fed the ducks. Going swimming today at the local sports centre which is re opening today after they had a new ceiling fitted after the earthquake we had down here a few months ago. The best bit is that it is free for today and they are having a pool party. No cost involved :j

    Hope you all have a good day

    I can assure you she definitely is..... :)

    Also in my postal goodies, was septembers issue of Marie Claire, from a quidco goodie link that Lynzpower posted on another thread somewhere, think it was the £1000 debt challenge... so thats satisfied the magazine urge... chocolate urge check..... spending urge check (i love shampoo!) food urge check dinner made out of cupboard........ not literally the cupboard... to many carbs!

    Day off for me tomorrow YAY! Really must tidy up ( i always seem to say that, so little space, so much mess!) and pop into town...
