    Had a wee day out with DS just a bit of stone skimming and some ice cream - spends £4:D Cold here though had to wear socks and shoes and a jacket! Brrr!

    LM coming over later for takeaway and dvd with us, suppose I should tidy up the ironing seeing it's the only vaguely houseworky thing I've done all day:o Just feel like vegging although I am still playing with the OP calculator lots:D

    Had nice day out with LM yesterday just walk at country park and coffee but very relaxing. DS being gitlike teenager is vanishing with friends most of the time but I think we are going out today - roll on next Monday when school is back!

    Not much spending at weekend but looking for stuff for kitchen and bedroom so only a matter of time...
