Gas service booked for next Monday, what a nightmare finding a vacant day!
Triker tut tut :rotfl: give those chooks a kick up the bum and tell them it's messing your spending up! Well done on yoru first day, not all mine was out of the freezer either, I think for me it comes down more to buying ONLY what I need - make sure you only take enough for eggs
ZLS there is a few websites with gallstone diet advice, but I found specific things set mine off, chocolate and crisps were evil! Sometimes if you've got an infection it doesn't matter what you eat it just hurts.
poffigirl welcome - keeping a house tidy with 2 little ones, be out unless they are asleep I think is the only way! As long as it's clean under the toys, that's all that matters. Keeping a house tidy while children are growing is like shovelling snow when it's still snowing.

Right, kids being monsters so I am giving up until they are asleep. DPs suggested as my only empty day is tomorrow going to OU office to sort out next courses. See the reverse psychology works, now I just pretend I don't care etc he's the one kicking my bum to sort it (or so he thinks) I wanted to go through some courses I think I might like online then go through the course material in the OU regional office to confirm what I want to do. He wants to sort his credit transfer out and what he wants to do next.

I need to do this lot tonight

vacuum up poly balls off living room floor grrrrr!
finish kitchen
sort tomorrows uniforms and ds2s lunchbag
clean out ds1s lunch bag
shower
search through courses for me

Right have done my first Level One in the kitchen and spent and hour and a half more productively than watching blooming shopping TV (this is helping me break my worst money habit) Thanks for help to focus more positively on things and actually do some cleaning on a Monday for the first time in I don't know how long after work than on superficial rubbish I don't need!

BRING ON TUESDAY!! (Here's hoping I can stick to it for more than a week!)

cleaned and wiped work surfaces
wiped down appliances
wiped all cupboard fronts and kickpanels

L2
wiped the table
swept and mopped the floor

Extras: wiped and replaced small appliances

Do i take from reading other threads that Stardrops is the cleaning product of choice? Because Dettol didn't really do it for me

Hi Lil-me it is getting to that stage where every thing hurts now. My bowl keeps going into mad overtime and causing pain too lol. Dnt look like I can win, I know choclate and crips are bad but I can not stop eating comfort food, suppose its better than cigs. I gave up smoking years ago so this is what I turned to.

I did eat some dairy and gluten free choc last night and that seemed to agree with my system ok.

Not sure if its just me but I can not cope with normal milk any more. I am drinking lactose free and if any thing has milk in they cause pain.

Hi everyone - had a bad day at work today. One of my class was sick this morning which brought on seizure activity and fits which resulted in me phoning for an ambulance and her being blue-lighted to hospital. Last update I had before leaving work was that she was still poorly and they were considering a transfer to Great Ormond Street.

Would appreciate your prayers / thoughts for her please.

Needless to say, we were all a bit thrown by this and so the rest of the day went to pot too!

Going to catch up with the thread now and eat something calorific!
