    SSG - she did a wee on DD's bed :( After DD had taken her out too :( She isn't usually this naughty for us, she just plays DD up for some reason.

    We had a fab time thanks JWP.

    Well back to reality. Second load of washing on, should dry quickly as it's mild, dry and windy.

    Took dog on the park this morning, Mr SA took her on his scooter while I followed later. Can't believe he asked me if I'd got her lead - he'd forgotten it! Naturally I assumed he's got it. Luckily the park is only across the road. She enjoyed her run anyway.

    Mr M delivery this morning, got another one of those veg boxes, everything looks lovely and fresh. Only spent £30.08 on food, doing quite well with the grocery budget this month, but then I've had a week less to buy for.

    Finances done, CC paid. Will need to be careful as funds in the budget pots are running low but nothing planned for the rest of the month apart from lunch with friends which is only a cheap one in Spoons. Some spending on the house will need to be done Put £9.30 in VSP so total is now £656.24.

    Need to clean the whole house.

    Looking forward to a long soak in the bath tonight.

    What are you thinking of spending the VSP on then?

    That's my Christmas money Beanie - it will pay for everything: presents, food, decorations, meals out, new outfit, etc. Sometimes there's a bit left over to buy something else, like last year I bought a new DAB radio for the bathroom, one year I bought a laptop. It's also DS and DD's birthdays just before and after Christmas (timed them well didn't I?).

    Have spent most of the day unpacking, washing/ironing and cleaning. Great that the weather is mild here and forecast to be a lot warmer and sunny for the weekend.

    DD has demolished her bedroom - don't ask :eek:

    Let's just say her bedroom ceiling will need re-plastering now. Plus Mr SA is going to help her with something tomorrow that is a disaster waiting to happen involving removing coving. 24 hours in A&E anyone!

    Oh SA, gutted for you feeling deflated, awful feeling. Dont think its helping with DD's bedroom!
    How annoying about the women getting on the bus, so rude :mad:, hope she felt ridiculous when she saw Mr SA being assisted off the bus.

    Have a lovely weekend xx
