Monday Monday...

I can't believe it's nearly Monday already...cripes, where did that weekend go.??
My son had a week off from Uni so stayed with us for the duration, i so love having him home...but hate it when he goes back to Uni - :-( He's such good company (not that we see that much of him) and he's funny... he's such a windup artist..

We Went shopping today - Why is it when you have a few quid to spend on yourself you can't find anything, if i gave my daughter a few pounds and said go buy...she'd do it easily.. :-(
I shall try harder next weekend.
