  • others-075.gifGood morning everyone!!!!!
    Had a bad night with ds2 last night as he was grumpy after his injectons on tues. baby-45.GIF He sleeps really well the night after having the injections, is then really dozy the next day but terrible that nigh as slept so much in the day!!!!! So this is me for the rest of the day: drinking-coffee-35.gif ha ha ha!!!!

    Have got a friend coming round with her little one this afternoon for lunch (doing pasta, fool proof and cheap!!!!:D ) so have been on a cleaning spree this morning. Ds2 still having his naps in his crib upstairs so can now get loads done without waking him, and ds1 happy he can still play whilst he is asleep!!
    Its really cute at the minute as if ds2 is on the floor, he rolls over to ds1 and watches his every move!!! he really looks up to ds1 which just melts your heart to watch.........

    Didnt manage to get ds2 a bath seat as argos no longer do them and babies r us have sold out!!!! there are some on ebay but will prob end up paying more than the shops when posage is included. Going to check out Kiddiecare (via cashback site) and see if they have them in stock.....

    Right, am off to find some matchsticks to hold my eyes open with.......

    Do you have any spare matchsticks rags? :rotfl:


    Well done on the £1000:T, as mummy says I love it when it drops by a big chunk like that. I wouldnt worry too much about the virgin card as you said credit rating cant be bad or Egg wouldnt have given you a card.

  • Think dropping the grand would feel better if i had the pleasure (?!) of paying it off myself and not just cancelling my ppi but a grand is a grand and beggars cant be choosers...........

  • Have ordered an adult and child dummy thing for my ebay stuff (thanks bamby) in the hope to shift the clothes i have and make a little more money than i am, not going to list anything till i get them. The child model will be well used as will always have the kids old clothes to sell.

    Sorry if i sound thick rags but what is a child and adult dynny thing for ur ebay stuff? cheers x

  • Hiya smarties, the dummy thing is like they use in the shops to show off the clothes, it is just the front half of the torso and hangs like a coat hanger. hope that helps.

    I have one of those & we keep it in the garage. DH says he's always embarassed getting it out when I want to use it in case people see him carrying it into the house!

    I can only imagine what they'd be thinking! :rotfl:

  • Hello everyone, well i have been a bad, bad, bad girl this weekend!!!!!!!!

    Have ordered my front and back doors costing £1800. This is the best quote i had and am paying monthly. Locked in for the first 12 months then can pay it all off...........really needed them as the front door is wooden and has swollen with all the crap weather so wont open and the back door lock is getting so bad it takes 5 mins to unlock it now.....

    Also went out last night on a head wetting (not been out for about 1 1/2 years!!!!) so bought myself a new top, pants, shoes, cardi (instaed of a jacket) and a suck everything in from the bust level to thighs pants. Oopps!!!!!! only spent about £25 including my taxi home though...............

    So am now over £20k in debt again:mad: but will save money on me gas without the drafts:D

    confession over, need to get back into my money saving ways and out of my "i'm sick of scrimping and saving and not getting very far" mindset!! Does anyone else fall off the wagon????

    one step forward and two steps back!!! Will add my doors to my sig in march when the payments start and the doors are in.....
    love rags
