Hi Hidden.

Hope you are feeling brighter today.

Charity shops and car boots are a great place to get cheap book and dvds.

Take care xx

Oh I didn't think about the library, I will take a look when we are down this week along with the charity shop. I haven't found any carboot that is local but will keep an eye out.

I'm still painting :rotfl: I must say it definitely doesn't look like a professional as done it but the girls seem happy!

Hope the painting is going well HI. Last time i attempted it (and only time!), DH said it looked awful! so I wont try again.

Hiddenidenity

The walls are awful! but I can't spend loads right now so as long as it's clean and better than it was I'll be happy

11 items on eBay. Lots of random things doubt any will sell :rotfl: If not they can go to the charity bins on Friday.

No sunday roast done I will do a roast tomorrow. Kids wanted new potatoes and pork today so who I am to say no.

We are having roast pork and new potatoes too. Although the kids will moan about the potatoes having skin on. They do miss their mash.

I agree that a coat of paint makes everything look so much betters, it smells 'fresh' too.

Giving in for the night now, going to jump in the shower, make a coffee and settle on the sofa and catch up on some tv.

Most of the ebay items have watchers!

I have wrote my list for the uniform and shoes. Will just about manage it without causing too much stress, will be happier when its all bought though.

Survey funds up enough to cover beds and half a mattress, 1 and half mattresses to go :rotfl:

Amazon balance up enough to get the curtains/lamp shade/half the bedding. (£30 more needed to finish Amazon basket)

Carpet fund £25 to go :rotfl: I will focus on this after the beds completed.

The girls thinks its amazing! I'm hoping the decorating is done by next weekend. I can only do it on a night when all 3 of them are in bed, or I think my whole house would be covered :rotfl:
