    Yes I was aiming for £50, so I am very pleased. No one has paid yet, though - that is a little more bothersome!!!

    :j :j :j YAY ITS THE HOLIDAYS !!!! :j :j :j

    As you can see I'm slightly excited at the thought of 6 weeks off work :D:D Today has been a great day with the kids, then after work I went food shopping and spent 20.00 although I didn't get much food :o:o We went for a drink in the cafe after which was another 2.50.

    So, the summer challenge begins right here, goodness knows how I'm going to find the money, tbh if I can make 500.00 I'd be really pleased, 1000.00 is pretty high but I will try :o

    Oh lucky you BB, enjoy the hols!!
    I still have a week to go...but been off today and yesterday as eldest daughter has an ear infection, poor thing. I've done a few bits of housework but seem to have spent most of the 2 days on here reading all the posts hahahaa.
    ANyway, hoping G is ok tonight as we're off to the Next sale in Bath in the morning, follwed by a Mcds breakfast for the girls-they deserve it for getting up early to shop with me! Then they're off to see High School Musical at the Bristol Hippodrome with their aunties (was their Xmas Pressie) - so I reeeeeallly hope G is ok to enjoy it!!
    Anyway, back to browsing the boards then an early night, all showered already, save a job in the morn (more shopping time lol)

    :j
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Ds decided to wake up at 5:30 this morning :eek: :eek: so much for a lie-in at the start of my holiday :rolleyes: :D

    So far today I have put the first load of washing on, unloaded, reloaded and put on the dishwasher, tidied the bathroom and my room. The weather was supposed to be awful here today but at the moment there is a lovely blue sky although it did tip it down a bit earlier :rolleyes:

    Today will be a bit of a general getting organised day with hopefully a bit of money-making thrown in somewhere ;) If it stays dry I might take ds down to the clifftop later with his kite.

    Milly, how was the Next sale?? :D and has anyone seen Tigzem lately?? :o

    Argh no Next sale for me this year...my eldest has had ear ache since Wed, saw the Doctor then and they gave her ear drops, but she was in such pain again last night that I've had to take her to the out of hours surgery at the local hospital. She now has anti-biotics, shame we didnt get them on Thurs really and save the pain she's had. Poor thing though has had to miss a trip to the theatre with her aunties - it was the girls' christmas present, so youngest daughter has gone and taken a friend in Georgia's place.
    And I tried to buy online at Next but as I've moved house they still had my old address, so couldn't order...just got in now to try to get the order up and ring up, but it's mostly all gone...arghhhhh not a good day!!!

    So need to cheer up now and do something useful!
