    I need a list too - but too darned lazy to either make one, or do any of the things that would be on it :o:o:o

    BBAM - have u seen the toys half price or 75% off on boots.com? I've just ordered a Vtech laptop for £7.49 normal price £29.99 and a CARS toy RRP £24.99 for £6.24. Delivery is £2.95 but if you spend more than £40 tis free.

    Might be worth a look for your DS's presents and your present box xx

    Ds has gone off to his dads, his mum sent me a cheque for €50 for his swimming lessons, I phoned and her and let her know that they're already paid for up until the end of July but she said to use it for something else, clothes for him or a treat in the holidays :D I had already saved some of this months budget fo half-term treats so I may move some of that back to the savings account and use her money instead ;):D

    I've been to Tescos this morning and spent €45 :eek: but this did include a new toothbrush, 2 lots of toothpaste, a new washing up bowl and suntan lotion for me so I dont get burned again :o:o

    Just nipping out to get my sister a birthday present for monday now then hopefully I'll be back in time to watch the footie this afternoon :D

    I watched the footie round my sisters house on her nice new shiny plasma tv ;):D I was dead pleased Pompey won, Harry has done so much for south coast football :T :T

    I have just completed 30 minutes of Wii fit, I do feel like I have to do some each day as it logs what you've done on a calendar :eek: It says my wii fit age has dropped from 53 :eek: to 38 :D:D Not quite sure how I've managed that in 2 days but never mind :rolleyes: I think its because the first time I did it I hadn't a clue what I was doing ... and don't tell anyone .....I had my wii balance board round the wrong way, so if I lent to the right my screen mii went to the left etc ... :o:o:o:o I'm not the most technical person in the world :rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Right, I think I might have a quick shower then have an early night while ds is away, and I must remember to shut the blinds so I can have a lie-in in the morning, (he woke me up at 5am this morning :mad: :D ). When I say an early night, I mean with my laptop, so I'll be catching up with everything on here :D

    I'm not that bothered about Pompey Tigz, I'm just pleased for Harry, he's the best thing that ever happened to Bournemouth football club and we still all love him to bits ;) Jamie went to our rival school when I was a kid so we sometimes would stay after school if there was a match, purely for the skill involved, not to perv over a cutie of course ;):D :rotfl:

    I have had a lie-in for a change, and I have managed to sort through a few finance bits. It is gonna be tight till the end of this month but hopefully then all my accounts will be straight and none will be overdrawn, as long as I can be careful for the next 10 days :rolleyes: I'm hoping the weather will be good in half-term so we can go down the beach a lot as its free :D

    I found €9 in my paypal account I'd forgotten about, so that chucked into the mortgage pot is just enough to tip it over into another month :beer: So the new end date for my mortgage currently stands at July 2030 ... only another 11 years 1 month to get it where I want it :o:D But, this does mean that in the last year I have knocked 5 years off my mortgage term :j :j

    Right, time to get out of bed :eek: I need a quick shower before I go and se my friend :D

    Your DS would have been a tad jealous of us today..:rolleyes:

    Took the boys for a picnic down at the Harbourside and there was a old bus exhibition on the other side of the river. There must have been about 100 buses, mainly old ones, but a few new ones with kids clambering all over them. They were giving kids a ride around town on them.... I think BB would have been in his element....:j
