    Busy weekend not much MS done but have offered to work an extra day next week so might make up for it:o this weekend has been about food, wine, cocktails, zombies and a bit of shopping.... we have walked a fair bit and ran too so not all spendy but a few birthdays coming up so spending has been required.

    Must go fill in my electoral role thingy before I get fined:o

    Cold and very dull day at work and I'm staying in tonight while DS goes out - hope this isn't the shape of things to come:o on the upside I finally washed the dress that's been languishing at the bottom of the washing basket for about 3 weeks:D

    No Beanie, he's got his kids tonight so invited me over but I don't want to leave mine in case DS comes back early so thought I'd leave them to it and get some studying done - will start soon honest:D

    Highlight of today was doing an impression of someone today and making wee boy ask "was that uncle Jamie?" he laughed a lot, probably shouldn't take the mic out of customers but put him in a much better mood:D

    Not sure what's worse - the fact I spent Saturday night studying or the fact I enjoyed it!

    Lunch out with DS somewhere today, was hoping for a wee walk but it's pouring again so shall drag myself out for a run instead.
