Have you tried using overpayment calculators or spreadsheets to set goals too?

Morning PrincessLou,

How are you surviving this rubbish weather with the boys? My two are climbing the walls and there is only so much soft play I can endure (or for that matter am willing to pay for - its such a rip-off round here)

Have a lovely day, here's to smashing goals

xx

Gaahhh, don't talk to me about the awful weather, ATB

I feel so guilty for not being able to take the boys out because it is so wet all of the time.

Christmas toys have been played with so much that I'm sure they are getting bored with them already and far too much Cbeebies is being watched :eek:

Soft play is frequented every now and then but I don't like going too often as the boys always seem to get ill after each visit.

Oh dear, what a moan I am

Hi princess lou, just wanted to wish you all the best with the new diary. I have twin boys too, but they are at the less cute stage of 15

Not yet, Cath. To be honest I wouldn't know where to start in creating a spreadsheet. However, if I did, I can see how useful (and addictive) that would be in setting goals.

I'm loving playing with the overpayment calculators though

Overpayment calculators rock haha

Try not to feel guilty, CBeebies is educational

DS has just mastered the iPad and has spent the last few days surfing YouTube! There is only so much playing/baking/reading etc you can do when its raining - sometimes telly is the only option left to keep everyone sane!

I really don't like softplay - the ones near us are pricey and also a bit grubby. I end up wanting to Dettol bath the kids after we've been (I don't, before anyone thinks I've lost the plot!) xx

Lol ATB I completely agree with you on the softplay. I took DD and DS last weekend and that is only the 3rd ever... It was horrendous and I doubt i'll be going back again..I think DD felt the same as she "kept getting pushed by the bigger kids". this particular section is under 5's only but the bigger kids were 9+.
I did strip them off and changed their clothes when I got home, if we do every go I'll remember to add dettol to their baths :rotfl:

If i have to watch one more episode of peppa pig or wheels on the bus on youtube i will scream though

I'm currently hearing "Do you wanna build a snowman...." on repeat. Wine yet ladies?!

Sold two more items on Ebay and just OPed the profits of £32.45. Is it just me or are items selling really quickly lately? I thought after Christmas would be the slow period. Already started making a list of more items to list, so that will keep me busy for the next couple of days.

Had a major panic this morning when food shop delivery arrived. DH had been out yesterday and came home with several large bags of chicken for the freezer he had found at a bargain price. All was well until I had my shopping delivered and realised that there wasn't an inch of freezer space left :eek: Took me an hour to rearrange everything and had to take out some items to use up over today and tomorrow in meals. DH said to throw the cheap things in the bin but I absolutely refused. He ended up having a twix icecream and a two year old Solero for breakfast to free up some space

On a side note, I do realise that these are very much first world problems. We are very lucky to have more food than we know what to do with.
