    Had to brave going out to the market as we'd completely run out of baby wipes and I was forced to try and wipe poo off with loo roll!!! Nightmare! While I was down there I got out our weekly budget money.
    typically.. instead of bucketing down like it was this morning it went really hot, don't know which I hate more!!! .... strange summer we're having! Treated myself to a little lace cardi/bolero thing for £5 and got Ash a windmill for £1. lol. Bought the crappiest little thing of baby wipes ever but they'll do til I can get to tesco!!

    Oh they were the days.

    Paying for an MOT is something i hate. Why should we pay for the pleasure of being told that we have to pay out more on something that loses money by the minute.:mad:

    Sorry pet hate of mine.
