Morning all

Yesterday was a good day. Roo was so active I had 4 hours of it last night before bed! Yes it means being kicked over and over in the stomach causing more heartburn... and then there was the hour or so I had to lean to the left because I had a foot in the rib on the right... but it's just so nice to have Roo being so active again... and at the same time I have been really well too... and boy does that make me hungry
Best thing is... the more active Roo is the more Roo gets the hiccups! 5 times yesterday (3 times for more then 10 minutes)... must take after Daddy because he inhails his food to
Didn't sleep to well last night, Roo went into my pelvis mid-afternoon, so it meant hip pain... but now that's gone and Roo is high up again
Today I am going to take DS to ASDA across the road to see if they are selling the new Harry Potter DVD (It's a small shop, so it might not). This afternoon I have a friends 2 year old, but DH will be home this afternoon and he dotes on the little guy. After that it's 'Parental Education' classes (Joy of all joys!!) and then DS is going to his dad's this weekend!
This weekend DH is going to clean the house, take the rabbits for a weight check (Still can't work out why they are so fat! They hardly eat anything but cardboard!!!) and posting all my christmas presents and cards. Sunday is Church and Rest day
I am making the most of feeling well right now, but trying not to overdo it and force myself the other way.
I hope everyone has a great day, and an even better weekend x

Ps. monnagran I'm glad someone is reading and enjoying. Where about's in Southampton were you living??We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like.

Morning everyone
Light cloud but dry and frosty to start to the day here. DH up and off to work at stupid early o'clock.
Had a good day yesterday, managed to purchase the tickets for the tattoo that I needed, spent all day on the phone trying to get through to the booking office as yesterday was the first day of sales, but got there in the end - really pleased as having the tickets makes the rally much more saleable (sp?) - people want to come to the rally so they can go to the tattoo, it's another job to tick off the list. :j:j:j
Dinner last night was HM lasagne, HM bread, jacket pots, side salad, and coleslaw. Today I will be heading to the butchers to pay the last payment for my xmas fresh meat hamper, then going to the bank, do food shopping and then home to do the housework I didn't get done yesterday, have a ironing mountain too, but can now crack on at full speed!
Have decided Monday will be xmas shopping day, have also decided that I'm not going to buy DS2 the handheld console that I had thought about (he hasn't asked for it and has already got 2 different ones and it was going to cost me £150+), he's asked for a electronic board game, so I'll try to get him that and other bits. Have decided I'm not going to buy things for the sake of it, they've had loads of prezzies other years that I've found unwrapped but still in the cellophane under the beds/in cupboards 1-2 years after they've been given them! I'm sure I will be able to find some other gifts that they will be thrilled with!
Haven't definitely made a decision on dinner tonight, will see what I can find when I'm doing the food shopping. DH's aunt is coming over for a meal tomorrow and we're going to head to Dunelm, DH hates it and will be at work and boys can stay at home, so nice bit of retail therapy for me! Best I get myself moving.
Hugs to those that want/need them, keep safe and well x

Morning All,
Happy Birthday to JackieO's DD and RR DH:beer:
nmlc I know exactly what you mean about unopened pressies under the bed. Have been very strict this year as money is so tight
Good luck with the viewing esmf
Feeling much better today, I am never down for long:D DH and I have had a long talk about finances and made a few decisions so hopefully things will improve, part of the plan is me getting the job on Monday so fingers crossed.
I need to nip to the library this morning, want to get a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad that a friend has recommended, has anyone read it. Also want to try my pen drive on someone else's computer to make sure my presentation works iykwim.
Will nip in the charity shops as well
Lottery on, you never know.
DS3 is not very well and full of a cold so have dosed him up as he has a maths exam this morning and a science one this afternoon poor soul, he said his nose ran all through the business studies one yesterday:( but it went ok.
Tea tonight is turkey schnizel with pasta bake and veg.
Plan to have a good clean this wkend and put the tree up. Definitely a bottle of wine in front of the tv tonight.:D

Morning everyone.
Feeling lousy I'm afraid.:o Have a UTI which has caused an MS relapse. I can't walk properly, and keep dropping things. To cap it all, at 2.30 this morning I was woken by flashing blue lights. Looked out and thought my garage was on fire. Turned out some little s**had set fire to my recycling bin that was out for the dustmen today.:mad:
So now I have a scorched wall, melted plastic and rubbish all over the pavement, and no bin. Got to ring the council today. I went back to bed, but didn't really sleep as it made me feel very vunerable. If they can do that to a bin, what else can they do?:eek:
Going to watch tv today. Think I may make some cakes too, that always cheers me up.
Happy birthday Shelley:bdaycake:
Have a good day all.I Believe in saving money!!!:T

Happy Birthday Shelley & Mr Redruby! You share your birthday with Britney Spears
Going to my mum's house later to sort out her garden, she's coming home for a week. Will pop the heating on too so the chill is taken out the house.
I am meeting up with friends tonight, the place is a 15 min drive away but to get the train means going away from the place to get back there and takes 2 trains!
We shall have an early dinner of chicken and potato bake that we should have had yesterday but got takeaway instead!
Went to the pub for a couple yesterday, there was a toast to the poor boy who passed away earlier this week, it was so moving.

Morning All
Another one with a rotten cold but I won't let it get to me, mainly because I have too much to do.
Didn't post yesterday because after shopping I came home and felt like jelly so I ended up falling asleep from 3pm until 5pm when DS woke me with a coffee bless him. I am determined to keep going today.
We are putting the tree up tomorrow, it is always a family job and everyone is involved, even DD's BF, who has never had that opportunity, he had never made a gingerbread house until last year, or carved a pumpkin and lots of other family experiences that our two have had since they were small, so he loves coming here at Christmas.
JackieG I read your post last night and it choked me up ((((((Special Hugs))))) for your DS and all the family.
Happy Birthday Shelley and Mr Redruby also belated birthday wishes for thriftlady for yesterday.
hilstep take it easy hun x
Lemon Chicken and rice for dinner tonight
