Reformed

Morning everyone!

Looks freezing outside - won' t be out for long I don't think today or baby will freeze - she was sick all over the snowsuit yesterday so its back to coats. We'll go to our little singing class and then a quick cup of coffee with the other parents and home for some food.

Loads of cooking to do today best get a move on.

Stefejb -
How do you find volunteering for crisis? I'm inspired by your effort - 7 days is loads, its so good of you. I might look into it if you are able to do half days. I don't think I can leave the baby any longer.

Morning All!
No work today, but I woke up at 6 as usual! Going to an MS seminar today, alternative therapies etc, should be interesting!:T

DD's birthday yesterday. Took her out for a meal last night, which we all enjoyed. She's off to Brighton with a mate today to go to a spa!:j

Got all my Xmas pressies now, except the last bits of stockings. Bought most on the internet, but I will be in town tomorrow to get my eyes tested, so I'll pop in to Debenhams and M & S.

N9eav M & S are having a 20% off sale tomorrow. Debs are up to 25% off,.

PP Glad you are home again.

((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) to anyone feeling poorly.

Have a great day!

Morning all
Been up with baby since 6 - 2nd day on the trot - on top of him waking in the middle of the night again. Really knocks it out of you when he's been a good sleeper for months!
Dad went into hospital Mon teatime - not too serious, we hope, but sis & I off to see him during visiting today - mum went yesterday. He's not the world's best patient :rolleyes: so expect him complaining about everything!
On the bright side, decorator just finished DS bedroom & it cost £100 less than he'd quoted! :j Should be enough for new curtain track & curtains - big window, though, still, £100 not to besniffed at!
Got to start WM, wash/dress self & baby, & do some more Christmas stuff.
See you later, hugs & kisses to all in need! :grouphug:

PenPin - hope you're following doctors orders!(((hugs)))


am off to do some cleaning for Mum this morning then am taking Lesley's partner and daughter to visit her - the hospital is quite a drive away and they dont drive.
I didn't sleep well at all again and had more bad news last night as the gentleman that I cared for until about a year ago when he went into a home has died at nearly 98. We were good friends and spent hours doing the Telegraph crossword together. I cared for him for about 18 years in all.

Take care all x

I have made so many changes to bring down our outgoings....in fact I have implemented most of the suggestions I find here on the OS board, we never go out (except for free outings like a walk :rolleyes:) or hire dvds or ever treat ourselves to luxuries. Christmas will be a really pared down affair and I even sold my car and now walk everywhere... I could go on but you get the idea The problem is my DH never says how well I have done at implementing all these changes... I even shaved an extra £10 off our weekly grocery shopping this week through using coupons. I was really impressed he said "try to do that every week!!!" It is never good enough. We are renting at the moment and we have a daughter so he really feels the pressure to get us our own home and we are both in agreement about our goals but if he so much as spots that I have bought a magazine I get a lecture about wasting money. I am the one who has researched all the ways we can save money and made the changes. I am getting really fed up with never having anything to look forward to and endless lectures about how I am terrible with money.... seriously!!! I brought no debt to the relationship.... he did (albeit only a student loan, but still). I actually did without a winter coat while I was pregnant last year, I insisted I get a coat this year and I got a lovely £70 one . Aaaah, I feel a bit better after that rant but any thoughts anyone?

ETA... I might keep a list in the kitchen of all the things I am doing so he can see it in black and white!

Morning Peeps :wave:

Lovely sunny day here today, but a bit chilly to say the least, washing on line, another in machine :j. Had a lovely early night last night i was totaly shattered after my speed freak day yesterday. Taking it easy today tho .

DD1 (8) gone to school, she came home in floods of tears yesterday, after she told the teacher that another girl had showed her bits to everyone, DD ended up getting told off for telling the teacher :mad:. Still she gone off today ok, With chicken sangers, cheese n marmite twist, jelly n fruit pot.

DD2 (2) watching TV , will go for a wonder around the village later, but need to wrap up it's blooming freezing today.

T tonight LO lasagne from last night. I've gotta go shopping tonight :mad:, hoping DH is not too late home from work.

Stefejb - Hope all goes well today x
