Jakes-mum you're doing so well with the sales I remember you doing similar last year is your house nearly empty now? :rotfl:
I keep hoping so but then I find another cupboard someones stuffed some [STRIKE]tat[/STRIKE] hidden treasure into :cool:, ive just been upstairs to DS's room on the hunt for any stray books I can add to the 'perfect for car booting' lot and found 2 empty smartie tubes, an empty crisp bag and a load of empty sweet wrappers all placed carefully in his drawer :eek: his bin is literally at the end of the bed, he hasnt even got to get off to use it! what would he possibly be saving them for?? . . . ive left them there, hes nearly 12, his room is his job as far as im concerned, shut the door and walk away :rotfl:luckycharlie wrote: »Was going to say no new babies due in my family but don't want to tempt fate:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

today :j :j though am very annoyed with myself as went to town yesterday to get DD new shoes (which she didnt need as her feet hadnt grown so £60 saved
) went into w1lkinsons and bought some hair bobbles, toothpaste etc, then into the sports shop where I got DS 2 pairs of the vans style boots (what I call basketball shoes ^^)
Popped into sainsbugs to look at the sandals and as we were trying them on DD's feet put both the bags down, when I grabbed them after, only grabbed the sports bag and left the blumin w1lkinsons bag on the floor in the aisle :mad:
Rang sainsbugs up but no-one had handed it inwas only £2.50 but was £2.50 I had to respend today :mad:

Hi all,
sickness in the house seems to be truly over...DS2 was sick last tuesday so another 2 days off school, I was sickly on Thursday and ate nothing as I was off for a girlie weekend!! We had a fab time in Robin Hoods Bay - eating and drinking loads and lots of sleep too...A real treat. Didn't spend too much as we took all our food.
Back to reality today, after spending on fruit and veg, I managed to pot £4,10 including 2 x £2 coins.sealed pot member 100. Saving for a dream holiday for 6!!:laugh:

Another £20 FB sale :j :j pot is just loving me at the minute
On another note, had a horrifically distraught DD on my lap all evening bawling her eyes out! Lots and lots of 'noooo, I dont want it! it hurts!' neighbours must have thought we were trying to brand her with a hot poker or something :eek: in fact the whole kaffuffle was because . . . . shes got her first wobbly tooth :rotfl: mortified by this alien feeling in her mouth doesnt even begin to cover it, no amount of talk about tooth fairys and £2 coins for 1st tooth would get her to let us look at it let alone give it a wiggle :eek:
Took an hour to finally get her to open her mouth but under no circumstances are any of us to touch it :eek: even after bedtime she had to come down and tell us it had 'fallen back' in her mouth :rotfl:
Goodness knows what she'll be like when it actually falls out :eek: get your ear plugs ready!SPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000
