Morning

This week is going so fast - Last night I was sure it was Tuesday. Im really tired today and could do with a day in bed. I keep working loads of saturdays too to make my wages seem better but im not getting any proper time off. Im still looking for a new job, but Im going to have a proper look over xmas when I have the time off.

I dont really have much else to say because I didnt get up to much last night so Ill post again later!

Have a lovely day all!

Another bad night :mad:

Just about to go off to the hospital, so will catch up later.

Woke up with back ache this morning - don't normally get that so I'm a bit fed up!

Anyway:

HAPPY DECEMBER
CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!! :j

I am so excited!!!!! Shopping nearly finished, food shopping nearly done!!!!
Although I do refuse to put up the decorations until the week before - Building up the anticipation works better!!!

Anyway - Spag Bol last night was really nice! I was surprised. I expected it to be naff and I surprised myself! :T

Breakie is poached eggs - I do like those! - Lunch is sandwiches - dinner will be Pork Chops and mash.

Need to do 2 wash loads and the bathroom today.

Have a nice day everyone! :T :j

Morning everyone :j

DS2 decided 4am would be a good time to crawl in beside me and wriggle for 3 hours. He fell asleep at 7am when we were all getting up. So, I'm a tad tired, but they are cute and snuggly at that age

Today will be laundry and carting all the stuff from the attic bedroom back down into the dining room. Tea will be cottage pie and I may run to a crumble or sponge pud too.

I may also take DS2 out to a play centre at Ossie Mills again cos they have something in the shops there I may get for my sister for Xmas. Means he can run round and I can take a book

Need to go to Aldi or Lidl whilst I'm out that way as NO WEETABIX in the house! For a boy who thinks he's being rationed when he only gets 4 for brekkie, to find there were none was a drama.

Anyway, shower awaits. It's also quite strange sitting here in my new computer chair, as it's a lot higher than my old one (too high really) because the keyboard now pulls out and sits on my lap

However, the chair is comfy

Have a good one all you fellow OSers.

Morning all.

Haven't been about this week, ive been having a few problems and im trying to get my stuff together. Heads all over the place, my mental health is shot, my physical health is a joke and everything is getting too much for me. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow so hopefully they might be able to help me? I also have to have another diabetes test. Meh.

Christmas planning is running to schedule, as is wedding planning. OH has asked his mate to be best man and he has said yes (yay). MIL is seeing someone at work about cake decoration so that’s kind of in hand.

Works Christmas party next Friday and I really don’t know whether to go… maybe it will do me good, maybe it will make me worse, who knows. I've got lots of sun bed mins to use up so might as well tan myself just in case, ive got to do my hair extensions and nail extensions in the run up to Christmas anyways so I might as well do them in case I go to the Christmas party.

Boss is off today and has left me in charge which I don’t mind as we're a quiet team but my counterpart is doing her ends because im in charge and she's not despite her being there longer. It doesn’t bother me if he hadn't made me in charge but she has a problem and has already tried to stir !!!! up, and its not even 9am yet. I've secretly forwarded all her mails onto my boss and told him I want to make ANOTHER formal complaint.

Yet another factor to my deteriorating state… I feel so vapid

…. My word of the day.

Will post back later to be cheered up by you lovely os'ers

Yuck, it's grim this morning. There's been a flurry of activity so far - My Boots parcel arrived (3 for 2 Xmas prezzies), then the garage turned up to collect the car (washer bottle still leaking), OH rushed out of the door in a flap cos there's a crash on the motorway and I smashed the cafetiere somehow?!! Now I've been left in peace to get on with some work.
1st of the month means my expenses need sorting out, then I'd better go into town for a new cafetiere & I have to pick up another present from WHSmiths that I ordered on line.
Dinner will be - freezer lucky dip probably!

morning all :hello:
JW........Hope you manage to find a fab job over christmas and get a great new start for the new year,have a 'you' day on sunday-a nice li-in and relaxing day,you deserve it,you've been working really hard in your job and your new flat-which sounds lovely btw!!

P_P......sorry you had another bad night.

Charlotte664.....glad the spag bol turned out well....hope your back feels better soon.

Well after a horrible nights sleep the other night when dd2(8 months) cut her first two teeth i got a lovely sleep last night so feeling all good.
Dishwasher,breadmaker,tumble drier and slow cooker all on......now im going to relax(well as much as you can with two under 3's) and ebay some more :-) am really pleased as have made £90 from amazon and ebay since the 18th of november.
found a fantastic bargain in the charity shop the other day for my dd1's 3rd birthday in january...a barbie bike with stabilisers,it looks almost new and was only £10,we were so chuffed....it means we get to concentrate more money on our debts but she still gets a fantastic pressie.
breakfast was cereal and toast....lunch will be soup(in slow cooker atm) and tea will be fish and chips(fish fillets from iceland and homemade chips).

have done all of our christmas shopping now apart from the fresh veg etc we will need that i obviously cant buy until the time.the only thing we have left to do is make christmas cards with the children to give to grandparents and santas etc with loo rolls to fill with wrapped sweets as token pressies from the children.

edited to say a big good morning :hello: to TM,ancasta and lucie!! i wasnt being rude and ignoring you....cross posting

Morning All,

Good luck with your appts PP.

Today will be bedlam for me as I have offered to have 2 other 3 years olds while their mums go xmas shopping :eek: Oh whatever possesed me???

So other than organised chaos I'll just be trying to get on top of the laundry. Bathroom lines are full, airer is full and another loads has finished in the WM so now have to find a place to string that all up.

DD (2) has a bad infection under his fingernail on his middle finger of the right hand. Turns out he now nees twice the dose of penacillin, 4 times daily to try and start killing it off in the next 24 hours. If nothing changes its off to the hospital for him tomorrow for investigation which my result in the loss of his fingertip :eek: Poor little man. Mummy is panicked cause I dont know where the infection came from and its now in his bloodstream and spreading

Need to get a white loaf on before the3 years olds come round as those 2 will only eat white whereas mine wont touch anything other than wholemeal. Have to dig out the stash of shop bought biccies to make sure they can have those too.

Off to make some porridge now, mmmm I have it with coconut, pumpkin and sunflower seeds and its just delish.

Chat later,

Al.

kiwi - sorry to hear about your son's finger, but you've just reminded me to get finger bandages. My DS1 has developed this habit of picking and biting the skin at the ends of his thumbs. they are now both wrecked and I'm worried he will pick up infections. I've told him I'm going to bandaged them up so he can't get at them, until the skin grows back.

Now, if I can only get him to stop biting his toenails :eek:

freyaluck · 1 December 2005 at 10:36AM

Washing machine is on and post has been delivered. Running a spyware programme while I pop in here.

Changed our bedding and DH has decided he is feeling sick so packed him off to bed.

As he is never ill I want to look after him but he would rather have peace and quiet lol!

Tesco have now rung me twice with the news that the cannot deliver the special wine deal as "they are out of stock!"

They are however still advertising it on the website at over twice the price!!!!

Regards to everyone having a trying time!
