Hi ho, hi ho, its off to the shops i go......

The sun was shining, the birds singing and the shops were beconing...I decided to get the bedroom suite, which turns out to be even better than i knew, it matches the tallboys I had already bought..I upgraded the mattress it came with,,,talk about horrible the first one...now I really only have one room left in the house to do, the family living area..not to be confused with the theatre room (note of sarcasim in my voice), we didnt have this many rooms back in NZ..especially not theatre rooms...but for the last room I am gonna save up extra so I can do the room at once and make it match...I also picked up a hallway table, got $40 knocked off plus instead of paying the $40 delivery, I found a friend with a wagon that picked it up for me/...so pretty pleased with that one. Ive worked out we dont need groceries this week, (milk and a little fruit being the exception), so that will save around $100, give or take...I baked some banana muffins with the very overripe bananas i had in the pantry...will use them for the picnic tomoro...Trying to find free entertainment and activities..playdates at parks with home made lunch is a great way of doing it.Have lined up one for tomoro, and one for Monday and for my boys birthday gonna do a big one on Wednesday..will bake a cake for that one..the big 06..lol  The count down is on for 2011..the year of living cheap...I wanted to get as much of the big stuff before this as I could...and think I have achieved this...I can wait for the other room..
