Oh the excitement

Well as I write this, the sun is STILL shining, unfortunately since the 'rents arrival it has done nothing but rain. Which of course we've all used to our best advantage and spent most of our time shopping. Now that I finally have money (God knows how) have been treating myself to some new items of clothing so that work don't think I've turned into a bag lady - so far I've a new jacket, jeans, work trousers, vest and shoes - all on special too. But before you get all excited thinking I've won the lottery, I've bought one of each of these things (apart from the shoes, that I bought as a pair as one would be silly even by my standards). No idea how I'll get it all back home on the train, but I'll worry about that later. Have even picked up some new jewellery (thanks Ma) courtesey of big sister Nicky's Virgin Vie party - talk about self-improvement!!

Now after all that excitement we're having a day off from burning through the ol' debit card! About to have a non-traditional Sunday early evening tea with all the family before gearing up for another week. I can only cross my fingers and hope we have no rain, otherwise it means another trip to the shops to stock up on winter woollies!!

Still making plans for our family trip to Gaye Paree, though have turned down the option of spending £200 a night at a 5 star hotel...thought that was a bit too excessive. I've a tendency to get way too excited about spending money on holiday thinking 'it really doesn't count' and when I get home I sob hysterically over my bank statements crying "Why me, why me"...oh well at least I won't be depriving my non-existent children of food while I throw my money away on frivolous items of clothing, shoes etc. Bis sister continues to reassure me that right now in my life I'll be the richest I'll ever be...eeek!!! Note to self - must buy more Lottery tickets NOW!!!

Sorry, still no photos as I've still not connected my camera...hmmm really must see to that otherwise there really is still no proof that its actually me making contact...

Anyway, I must dash, lots of lovely food to eat and wine to drink, after all I am on holiday!!! Hurrah!!!
