Morning everyone, well ds2 up again loads last night so am so pooped.......decided he wanted a bottle at 3.30am but then only had 4oz!!!!! really struggling with getting him to drink his milk the past few days, dont know if its his top teeth bothering him......... am having to sneak the milk into his food so he is getting the amount he needs. give it a day or two and i will be like a zombie..........its things like this i am dreading for when i go back to work, am really pooped and not doing anything, couldnt face a 12 hour shift.

hiya nat, for some reason i always seem to have tins of corned beef in my cupboard, am sure oh slips it into the trolley when im not looking.........:rolleyes:

only 4 out of my 15 items on ebay didnt sell so i revised and relisted last night, had a good night with it last night and most of the items last night had a little bidding war at the end!! total for ebay this week is £26 or so. we spent the last lot on ds1's safety stuff for his quad (really needs a helmet, forgets his head is attached most days before he gets on a quad) but if we hadnt the total would of been up to £52:D told oh we are not spending this money, it is strictly going towards the debts! he agreed.

have now reached a tenner on the other scratchcard so will be withdrawing the tenner from each tomorrow and will pay it off the egg1 card. will transfer the money tomorrow so i dont have chance to spend it. still havent got round to joining all the other sites with daily clicks, think i will do some tonight as think oh watches crap on a thurs.............on a plus note, the shop and scan account is now up and running, just waiting for my scanner thingy............and have got £10 worth of points for joining!!!!!

going to post all my ebay items this afternoon and sort some more stuff out to photo ready for listing. Ds2 really needs to move into his cot as getting a little big for his crib now so need to get the stuff shifted.

right off for a coffee,
love rags

hello peeps, well it did snow in the end here but only a thin layer has settled, the snow flakes were like ice flakes really, ds1 loved trying to catch them on his gloves!!

ds2 is getting his top teeth, his fist is constantly in mouth!!! found if i coat the teat on his bottle with teething gel then he will have the 6-7 oz as normal (does that make me a bad mum??) so has been a little more settled today and had a mammouth sleep this afternoon. ds1 on the other hand is turning into kevin (off kevin and perry) attitude is not the word and he's only 4!!!!

made chicken biryani for tea which was lush and so easy to do, even ds1 lapped it up!!! wasnt that spicey either as used mild curry powder so was fine for me too.

:mad: i must confess that i treated myself today to pair of boots........... i didnt need them they were purely a want..................im a bad, bad, bad girl......................but they are sooooooooooooooooooo nice:D moment of weakness got me, but to be honest i dont even know what i was doing in the shop!!!!!!! see what happens when lack of sleep creeps in.....................................

Rags, your diary is always such an inspirational read! I always pop over when I need a boost. Though I think the fact I've not been on here for a week is the problem!

Happy friday 13th!!!!!!!!

Well, checked the hbos cc statement online to check the transfer went through ok and so far it is coming up we are £13.30 in CREDIT!!!!!!! they havent taken anything for the interest for the month yet so not counting on having it just yet.

was accepted for the tv survey thing but have heard no more from them, said i would recieve an email the following morning but didnt. may just have a wander over to the website, if i can remember the address...........................

GOT MY CLICKER TODAY for the shop and scan thing!! so have made my first £10!!!!!! going to get the argos voucher and put it towards ds2's car seat!

recieved my first post office thing (no stamps though.......) not sure which stickers are meant to go where at the mo though.........any help from anyone that does it???????

The loan hasnt gone out so think my 2 free payment months is this one and next month, so me andd oh have agreed to pay £70 off for the quad and put the extra £100 to the egg card and the remaining £3 to the overdraft!!!! (ha ha ha, every little helps!)

the brakes on my car should be fixed today and the heating is getting sorted on tues!!!!! My oh's mate owns a garage so is doing it for us but he never charges alot for labour, one time he worked on the car all day and charged us 3 hours labour!!!!!!

me and the oh have had a good talk and think he is coming round round to my way of thinking, has agreed to concentrate paying off the debt and he has said he will do overtime when available to pay for things we need or to put towards the cars (tax, mot, insurance etc) as saving £50 a month but dont think i will have saved enough for it all this year as a lot of it is due out together. That should hopefully mean working our way out of the overdraft slowly too...........

Need to set up a standing order to go towards my xmas fund as i am determined not to struggle ever again, xmas is on the same day every year so there is no reason for me to struggle to get it all on nov and dec wage................. it was my one promise to myself.

Special thanks to fay :A who is going to send me some seeds so me and ds1 can have a go at growing some veggies!!! looking into getting one of them plastic type light greemhouses, i used to pratically live in my nans in the summer tinkering about (and still do when we see her) on second thoughts, may share my seeds with her in exchange for using her greenhouse!!! genious!!! (maybe not looking at that bad spelling!:o )

Oooh fingers crossed!!! Last night I was wondering about clobbering my OH over the head in the hope he would lose his memory. Then I could re-programme him with the correct way of thinking! Nothing in particular made me want to clobber him - just thought it might help things along a bit!

Hah ah aha ha !!!! reminds me of something that was said on the tv last night, "women treat men like an item of sale clothing, they get it knowing its not right in the hope they can sort it out when the get home" or something along them lines.........................did any one watch hustle last night, it was on there...................................................

makes me laugh, the first post for the survey is lost...........in the post!!!!!! makes me wonder what else havent i recieved...................all the freebies i have registered for and not recieved springs to mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no wonder i didnt know what to do when the second test post came through.

Have emailed both parteis so should hopefully be up and running soon!!!

Hi Rags

Ive not had my post stuff either and I know we registered at the same time. How did you chase it?
Well done on the shop and scan, I never heard from them, do they do a refer a friend? It looks like fun, if you can get software to work (bummer, by the way hope you sorted it).
Have a Fab weekend x x

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!

Not got much planned, oh is cooking a meal for us tonight instead of going out for a meal (lets hope its more than just ice cream........:rolleyes: )

Still struggling to get ds2 to drink any more than 3-4oz, thought it may not be coming out fast enough for him so bought him a beaker when i went shopping last night but he doesnt quite know what to do with it......how do i teach him the art of a beaker??!!

Not heard back from either the post survey or shop and scan so it may have to wait till monday now....... pipsmum, you should of got an email that has your user name and password and a link to the survey site with the posal survey, when you click on the link it takes you to the survey which shows which jobs you have been allocated! Not a great start for the post office if they cant keep track of the packs.

Am going to an Ann summers party tomorrow which should be interesting, never been to one before but have heard all sorts. Have got my wine ready as feel i will need to be sloshed.....................................

My present for valentines day.............. a bacon buttie and a cup of tea!!!!:D my fella knows the way to my heart!!!!:D
