  • Morning all,
    Working from home today so doing a few bits round the house-have an enormous pile of ironing that keep looking at me. I might just hide it in a cupboard and pretend its not there...I can be as crumpled as I like when I am at home! Got to do a little bit of shopping but then back to the PC...Have a good day x

    Morning everyone, maccas, I've been on a spendathon too today. I've been on the grabbit board and spent £200 on amazon, but I've done the bulk of the christmas shopping for next year... how cool is that? I did this last year and it saved me a fortune.

    Actually I really like Bloody Marys - I might have one tonight to celebrate (or commiserate).

    Feels a bit sad actually - like I'm finally leaving the pregnancy behind. :o

    Aaanyway, despite having had no internet connection since yesterday, I have actually had quite a good couple of days.

    Do you remember me saying I was complaining to Toys R Us about the buggy that didn't have an accessory pack with it? I have finally got it sorted, we went up yesterday to pick up a different (more expensive) pack, which they gave us for the same price, and because of all the c0ck-ups, they also gave me a £10 gift card. So I bought Tasha a V-Tech Discovery Tree (IA's idea :D) - they were already marked down from £29.99 to £19.99, and with the gift card, we only paid £9.99.....hurray!! :T

    She is going to go MAD because she loves the one in the medical centre where we go for most of Ryan's appointments, and that one doesn't even have batteries in it.

    I've also got my Xmas cards written and posted! :)
