That's easily done, BB. Those modern checkouts are a wee bit narrow and if someone's in the aisle next to you, and space is short, they can easily fall into your basket as you brush past them!! :dance:0 -
Smart mart - its also amazing how they make their way into my tummy too

So, its friday and we've done one full week back at school, all has gone really well
This weekend ds is going to his dads in the morning, I have a viewing at 2:30. Other than that there isn't much planned as yet, just the usual footie / food shopping / housework

Morning all
I had an unexpected viewing yesterday - I missed a call from the estate agent, called back within 5 minutes and they said someone had come into the office wanting to view so they had taken them round (I live 500m from their office) :eek: :eek: unfortunatley I have had a busy week and was leaving the tidying up until the weekend, so there were coffee cups around, unmade beds etc
Never mind, I have another viewing this morning too, hopefully they might be interested 
Ds is going out with his mates today, I'm seeing my bestie to do more planning/sorting for the Christmas fair. We have now got the raffle tickets ordered, so that's one major job out of the way
Moneywise nothing else to report at the moment, I do have a mountain of surveys to get through in my inbox, I may do a few this morning and then plough through the rest tonight.
The flat is now clean and tidy, I just need to hoover through and take the rubbish out.Mortgage Total: £49,992/ £75,000
