We were all rather stuck on what to do today as Little Miss was happy to lounge about in her pajamas all day long, Little Man just doesn't care and lets the world go by, I was sat watching Super Nanny US feeling slightly bored (after all, how many times have I watched these repeats?) meanwhile other half was up stairs hiding away watching Transformers on his new 'bargain' TV.
I decided that enough was enough and we should go shopping for the bits we needed to transform these bedrooms from plaster wrecked messes to lovely, comfy places of relaxation...there wasn't much at the market and nothing much better in Tesco, so we'll be tacking a short trip around the corner to Pound Stretcher tomorrow I think!
I did get a couple of rather nice wall stickers for either side of the children's bedroom, something to add a personal touch to their sides of the room. Little man is pleased with his dinosaurs and Little Miss is pleased with her pretty princess fairies and stars...they were reduced to £2 which I still consider a bit steep to be honest given there's not much on them, i would never buy them over that price though.
I also picked up a lovely throw to place on my bed when the new cover goes on. It'll match the walls and duvet fabulously!
We took a rare trip up to McDonald's (don't care what anyone says, their fries are The Best, end of!) After shelling out for Little Miss's Happy Meal I wasn't so happy when she declared she was no longer hungry and then proceeded to throw a tantrum because she wasn't allowed her toy. I have noted to myself that I either won't bother going there (okay, maybe sneak some fries for me as you do) but from now on, No More Happy Meals..what a waste of money!! And I am hating money wastage right now.
Anyway, now that the children are fast asleep (for now) and the other half is on the Xbox pleased as punch with his new cable that makes the Tv all big and bright (HD?) I was reading through some blogs I follow and came across a post about 'The Coca-Cola Recyclometre' which was on the blog belonging to BeingaMummy, and i thought I'd also share this about. Basically you can add all of the things that are currently sat in your recycling box onto the screen and it tells you how much energy you save.
So i decided to give it a little whirl, trying hard to think of all the random boxes and bottles I have in my big black box (i have way more than is on the screen) and I can't believe what my recycling could power! So, here's a print screen for you!

Hope everyone had a nice Sunday, and have a good week, no idea what I'm getting up to this week but I'm sure my blog will find out!
