    Thanks FreeBy and Bizzie Lizzie. I did resist, and you're right about the pot for money I would have spent, But.. if I have the money in a pot I'd raid it so I'll just sit and imagine a pile of coins that would be the £1.40 I would be spending (as let's face it, being me I'd also get a can of coke while I was there..)

    Ooooh living in my PJs.. that would be a dream right now. I spent Chrimbo with the OH's family over as I can never really relax when they're over. They're back over to stay tonight as well so not PJs days this weekend either.

    Roll on next weekend instead :D


    Oh, and I nearly forgot, I've dinged another NSD - 2/20
