    Thanks all :D.

    Just placed my first ever online shop. Mr M’s are doing a deal whereby if you spend over £40 and use code JANUARY25, you get £25 off your bill!! With multibuys and the code, I got £48 worth of shopping for £18 :j. It’s free delivery too and it’s coming Monday.

    Thank you both.

    Got another bargain this afternoon. It’s DS2’s birthday on Friday, and he wanted to take some friends trampolining after school. I said he could pick 3 friends, and then with him and his brother that would be 5. Went to book it all, and was told they have just decided to offer half-price Fridays, so it was £20 for 5 of them not £40 :j. Love it!

    Did anyone watch Vera tonight? The road where the car ‘accident’ happened is the road out of my village :cool:. The rest of it wasn’t filmed anywhere near here though :rotfl:.

    Took MiL shopping with us today to Ike@, as she wanted to buy DS2 a chair for his birthday to go with his new bed desk. The one he chose is very swish :D. We also called in to Mr A’s and bought fruit and veg etc, to go with the other stuff on it’s way from Mr M’s tomorrow.

    One sale on eBay tonight, about a fiver after fees I think.
