£70 a day's what the panda will pay!

OH is having a lovely time away. He's just rung to say they've all been out for a pub dinner tonight and off for a few drinks now. Lucky ****er.

I'm annoyed at myself for being too busy all the time, so I've missed out on the Tesco clubcard O2 thingy. I found out about it a few weeks ago and have been waiting for some sim cards to arrive, which did last week, but Martin went and put it on the weekly email so they've now closed it (well, scaled it down so it's barely worth doing). Gutted that I hadn't tried harder when it first came out, it could have been worth thousands = next year's holiday to proper Disney that I'm trying to save up for.

Floxxie, 1000 listings?! All I can say to that is Good Luck. Can you not just job lot a load of stuff? I remember quite a lot of it is collectable, but if it was me, I'd already have got shot on Freecycle by now for the sake of my sanity. You'll have to PM me your Ebay ID so I can be nosey (and so I can feel less bad about my own ebay situation - sorry!)

Greg's got jabs tomorrow and I'm such a lousy mother that I don't even know what they are for. He's got a bit of a cold, as does the whole household (except obviously dad, enjoying his pint in Cheltenham :mad: , not that I'm jealous) so not sure if that'll affect anything. Must try and remember to take him. We've forgotton in the past .

Maybe best not to go if Greg has the cold~you could check with your HV.

I think you're right Lou, tho I even know who my health visitor is! I'll definitely tell the nurse when I go. I think they usually say that a mild cold is ok, but anything worse and you should cancel. I'll take him along and see what they think - I'm not even sure it is a cold, it's just a really snotty nose, which might just be teething side effects.

Hi panda, just checking in for an update as you have not been on for a while. Hope all is well with you.

lunar

Still no panda? I wanted to send a text but my phone broke and i have lost all of my numbers.

Still here! Life seems to revolve entirely around work, kids, house and Ebay at the moment with no time to do anything else. Quite depressing really. I find it harder to get back into MSE the longer I've been away too - it's a bit like a friend that you haven't phoned for a while. You know that when you do, you'll be on for ages, so you put it off until you've got plenty of spare time to make the call, but that time doesn't come around, so you leave it longer and need longer and so on - viscious circle!

Greg's not too well at the moment. His skin is a mess, and the doctor has talked me into giving him antibiotics to clear up the infection. His bum is red raw though, and the skin isn't getting much better. Will keep going for now but I'm not really happy. Other than that he's doing great - he's learned to shake his head to say 'no' which is hilarious at times, but not when I'm trying to feed him. Adam has now got a gold medal at all the hardest levels on Mario Kart Wii...so he's had an action packed Easter holiday . OH & I have a lot of sh*t going down at work at the moment with the new boss which isn't for moaning about here, but rather annoying. House is a tip.:rolleyes:

Debt hasn't budged in the past 6 months. That's good because we've not lost anything, but bad because we've paid off about 10k but not seen any reduction for it. Lots of big purchases though so it was expected. Got a spreadsheet of sorts up and running again, but I'm concerned I won't have the time to maintain it and lose track again.

Sorry to everyone who's diaries I haven't been keeping up with. I really miss reading what you're all up to and getting involved in the challenges. Perhaps one day...

Floxxie

Great to hear from you PP!

Sorry Greg's having a miserable time but amusing he's learnt 'no' which was Adam's first communication with us and he's been using it ever since. I don't know what that says about our household? :rotfl:

You must be soooo busy to not make it onto the site. I have to pop on daily as I am a referrer for several things but quite often forget until this time of the morning.
Hope the eBaying is coming on well. My 1000 challenge is a slow starter but I am gradually getting my head around what I need to do and starting to do it.

Work doesn't sound too good either but at least both of you are there to sort new boss out! And on a positive note, your debt hasn't got any larger so that's good

We are all missing your posts so don't leave it too long.

Panda, you are sounding really down right now about things. I think you need to think about it a bit more. In just over a year you have had a baby, moved house and completely renovated it. Not to mention the fact that you had that fee to change your mortgage. You have managed all that and haven't increased your debts! If you hadn't worked so hard you would be up to your eyes in it by now. Your debt will be gone in no time when you have finished everything you have to do.


I hope that work gets better soon, feel free to moan about your boss to me if you want.


I hope that Greg gets better soon, don't feel guilty for giving him antibiotics, it sounds like he really needs them. What are you putting on his skin now?
