Oops missed your second post. No not in Wales! Aren't Severn Trent rubbish though?! They had to turn ours off for 'two hours' once, eighteen hours later they gave up and gave us vouchers for bottled water. Most of the people on my road are pensioners who can barely walk to the shops, so that was real considerate.

good morning to those posted before and to those who follow

well ive have finally had 5 hours kip last night :j, considering ive been managing on 2/3 hours a night for the last 8 nights, so im feeling semi human
house is clean and as the kids go to school tomorrow ive got a glug of baking for lunch boxes to do, i also had to get yet another loaf tin as i made a loaf yesterday and it was gone in 1 meal (the greedy things )

got to a bit of shopping today and its the start of my very first grocery challenge, so wish me luck

oh and before i forget
happy anniversary to the aussies:beer::T:j:beer::T:j

Aussie - congratulations, hope you enjoy your day!

N9eav - glad you had a good time, even if your moneysaving wasn't on things most of us would want, lol!

Chrisca - I hope things go well today for you and your family.

Beth - hope you're not overdoing things again, mind your hands!

Funkyfairy - oh no, what a disaster, hope you get another one sorted out soon and it doesn't cost too much.

Hope all those feeling poorly recover soon, and those who aren't sleeping get some rest. xx

Yeah - hopeless!

And because I'm so mse :rolleyes: there is only ever enough water in the kettle for what I need, so now i'm dying for a cup of tea - the only other liquid in the house is squash (well - and bleach and stuff!) so i can't drink that either. And their 5 minutes is beginning to look like your two hours (ie: not 5 mins at all!!!)

And i didn't( brush my teeth yet!! :eek:

I feel soooooo scummy! :eek:

PO xx

hello everyone

mioliere congratulations on saving your notes and change!

Aussie and DH Congratulations on your anniversary. Have a good time celebrating.

poppyoscar I'm sure they should ention to you, unless it's an emergency. Hope that it's not too much of a problem. We'll tell you if the pong gets a bit much

Have a long list of to do things today, but find myself procrastinating I was productive on friday and over the weekend, so don't feel too bad about it at all. A lovely friend sent me some maternity clothes this morning, they are quite big, but a couple of really useful bits I'm very touched by her kindness.

Candygirl Hope that your DD is feeling a bit better with her ms. I am much better but still suffer in the evenings. I don't seem to be allowed to get a whole nights sleep anymore either, which is the worst thing. A bit like a zombie at the moment

Good morning!

Happy Anniversary to the AussiesHe's very lucky to have you! ( Well someone had to bat for you, might as well be me:rotfl: ) Hope you had a lovely day. I'm too polite and reserved to make comments about the night;)

It's a lovely sunny day, but I slept so badly ( well hardly at all ) that I really don't feel like doing anything at all. I should be phoning for an appointment to get my hair cut, doing a good impersonation of a witch at the moment, but not sure I can be bothered. On which very unOS note I'll wish you all productive happy days, and take my leave:D

They didn't mention it because they didn't think it would happen. They're filling a new main or something and it's caused a drop in pressure for everyone else.

As for the pong - just don't come too close.....................:D

Just quickly posting - haven't read thread, hugs and congrats.

Little bear is discovering the joys of crying if left alone for more than thirty seconds. It started last night around 7.30pm. Sigh. But I had to tell someone. I was just popping a spoonful of porridge in his mouth when he unexpectedly sneezed - and I was pebble dashed!

Will have to go before he makes himself sick.
