    £2 potted today :D

    Soooooooo very happy as ive just had not 1 but 2 winning emails :j :j 1st for £50 to spend at biggreensmile (all eco products :D) and then 2nd was for a weekend family break for 4 :j :j just had a look at the closest hotel to us and its £710 for 2 nights B&B :eek: has a swimming pool and cinema room and is in the middle of the national park . . think im picking that one :D

    Obv with all good news there has to be some opposing bad news *rolls eyes* got a phone call from jakes school saying the kids decided to play pile on in the playground and unfortunately jakes was on the bottom and he needs to go up the hospital. Xray taken and hes broken his arm right up by the ball joint and because its so high he cant have it put in plaster. Oh and of course it had to be his left arm (hes left handed ;)) so ive had to contact the school and say 'basically he cant use his arm, theres nowt to protect it . . oh and cos he cant do his own trousers up hes got to wear jogging bottoms to school' :rotfl: hes milking it for all its worth ;) 'mum I need a drink', 'mum i cant reach the buttons' I drew the line when he said he needed the loo and told him to get on with it :D

    jakes-mum - That news deserves a yay!!! :T :j and an Oh My Gosh!!! :eek:

    Potted a lovely £2 coin and 2p. Went out for a work do last night as the TA that worked in the same year as me left last week. Someone had a 20% off discount voucher which they applied to the whole group. :T So out of my budgeted £25 I only spent £11. :D :dance: Kept £6 back as the Early Years team are looking around another school of Tuesday (to see how they work) and we are going to get lunch on the way back. The other £8 has gone in to the deposit savings account along with another £100. Woo hoo!!!! :T
    Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!

    aww just read back through all the posts and you've all missed me :D

    I was only popping on to do my comps as DH decided to rip out not only the livingroom but the bedroom aswell so im living in a bomb site :D havent been able to pot anything as the naughty boy ran up nearly £500 on the credit card to pay for all this DIY :eek:

    Master Jake is fine as long as he doesnt move his arm about, we have the in laws staying as well so they are in his bed, he's now in Miss Lilys bed and shes on the floor as he cant get himself up with one hand :rotfl: He's already climbing the walls stuck at home so monday cant come soon enough for him ;)
