(It doesn't count if you buy it in Lidl does it?)

Of course not just like the chocolate from their doesn't have any calories in :rotfl:

It is basic stuff rather than post stuff so great for kids school dividers etc.

Soappie/Vivw thanks - I've managed to get on gateway now but still not our local council - I'll try again tomorrow

OH has managed to leave DS3's coat at his FiL - 3 hours away - handy for iceskating on Tuesday. FiL othered to send it next day delivery but it still might not arrive and really not worth the cost for a Tesco coat. I'll see if I can find an old one of DS2's for now.

Time to put dinner on and banish OH to the loft - it will be nice and freezing cold up there:rotfl:

if it is sent special delivery tomorrow it is guarantee'd next day before 12noon.. you'd have it Tuesday.. I'd risk it.. but then I do take risks.. often..

I've still not taken a shower though.. hubby is doing food.. and the children are sticking playdough in each others hair to make themselves into chickens!!

now sounds like a good time to wash... lol

Hope ewveryone is doing ok. The house does NOT look as good as it should bnut DS and DD are playing with ALL their toys still. Then will soon be moved upstairs BUT I am starting my part time job tomorrow so all set to got o my summerhouse at 4pm tomorrow and be there for 6 hours :eek: Hope it isn't too stressful but we need the money.


Thankfully mum and dad gave us a cheque on Christmas Day which has made us a little less stressed about DH being made redundant.

I am sure it will be just fine - you are bound to be a bit apprehensive at the start but you know what it means to your family so I am sure you will make a success of it. will be thinking of you - lots of luck.
And lots of positive job hunting vibes for OH - its not an easy situation just now - hope he finds something else.

Toots - I have to be positive or after the year I've had I'd be curled up in a ball crying somewhere. Next year will be a better year - I've applied for a job I really want and I have great family and friends and feel a lot more positive since I started keeping the place clean and decluttering. I'm hoping it will have a positive effect on my weight too - apparently there's a connection between being overweight and having a cluttered home. So by the amount of stuff I have recycled/given to charity/sold on ebay I should have lost about 4 stone!! Determined to lose weight so I can start a family.

Well I think thats a brilliant outlook and attitude and what could be better than having a family to spur you on - Way to go skint_chick!!!! Will be hoping it all works for you - in all the areas you want to improve.

Good evening all, how is everyone today?

We are having a rather manic weekend, kids are hyper, fighting and whinging constantly. Dog and cat are being forced to make freinds(both are in the kitchen, either they'll make freinds or it'll be cat/dog soup for tea tomorrow lol.

(Dont panic, I'm not really ging to let them kill each other. No need to fone RSPCA)

Anyhoo, need to try and reclaim the house after the toy invasion!!! Must sort myself a list!!!!

I'm the same Crafty - I can spend hours wandering round Staples looking at all that lovely paper to be written on with all those lovely pens...

soappie

DiL came home and we had a chat and peace now reigns supreme in the Soappie household ~phew~

I've just been researching sausage making stuff on t'net. I really fancy making my own with the attachment to my new gizmo! I think I need casings and rusk. Anyone else made their own? Any tips?

Actually, just discovered I can use breadcrumbs instead of rusk...

toottifrootti

I am pleased you got it all sorted out amicably soappie (hugs)
