Hi rags just having a catch up! you are doing soooo well and your boys are such cuties!! even if ds1 was being a little pain - they do def know just what to say to upset/wind you up dont they!!
You really deserve the holiday so i hope you enjoy it. You are not adding to the debt so thats great and you can go and not feel guilty about going.....
Cant wait to hear how yummy all the things you are growing are going to be!! my dd1 has brought home a sunflower seed and pot to grow to enter into the village show - i just hope i dont kill it like i do everything else!!
Glad to hear your geandad is on the mend and feeling a lot better.

Helloooooo!!!!!
well have finally finished my batch of shifts from hell!!!!! so many too close together! 2 days off then 2 days back then off for a fortnight!!!!! whoop whoop!

my tattie growing kits have arrived!!!!:j just need to work out what to do with it now........... got 5 packets of free seeds with it too.

well, nothing major or exciting to report, booked the caravan, bit more than i wanted to pay but well needed.

need to step up the weight loss/ lose the jelly belly aim, have stalled and am now inbetween sizes, size 14's hang off me yet size 12's are just a little too tight and give me a bigger muffin top than i already have!!!!!!

Cheers hun, have had a quick look this morning and seems easy enough, due to popular demand though they have sent me baby potoatoes to grow instead of "normal" potatoes, bit disappointed but we do eat alot of baby potatoes so not so bad in the end. Got 5 tubers so just need to work out now if they all go into the same bag?? if so what are the other 2 bags for????

getting a little stagnated again with debt busting, made morse by the fact i really have gone backwards and added to my debt since jan.:mad: oh well..........may have o go play with the snowball calculator to get some motivation.

mummy2mygirls

hello - cant help at all with the potato growing - i am useless at growing things
Gald you have booked the caravan you really deserve a break away - when do you go??

Just think you would of added to the debt you already had and also by a lot more probaly if you wasnt doing all you are doing...and your going to have nice doors and be nice and warm for next winter
have a good few days of and then the two weeks of will be lovely - guess you will have half term of so get to spend lots of time with yor boys.

Its that thought thats keeping me going mummy!!!! I could be winging my way up to £30k of debt if i hadnt paid some off already!!!!!

Have a few weddings coming up and luckily they are all from different friend groups so can get away with just buying one outfit for them all!!!! the problem i am having is finding the one outfit....................

Hi Rags!!
Wedding outfits - nightmare!! I usually go to Coast or Monsoon, find the dress / outfit that I like then buy it on ebay cheaper and then dry clean and re-sell the dress. Good quality outfits hold their value well! I still have 2 that I am aiming to sell on ebay - just need to get my a*se in gear and get them dry cleaned first! :rotfl:

Hi Rags - as for the dip on debt busting - know the feeling hun, with no job at the moment, I almost feel a fraud coming on here - but as said above - you're not majorly adding to it and certainly not for the wrong reasons. Just think if you hadn't found this site - where could you be??

Nat's tip for the dress is a fab idea!!!

Weddings are always expensive. Gifts, then outfits, then hotels etc. I'm so glad all my friends are married or nowhere near!

mummy2mygirls

i agree on the wedings costing a fortune!!! We have one coming up aswell so i need a outfit - might have to use your idea nat. Have to get something for the girls aswell as they dont have any nice outifts....better start hunting Good you can use the same outfit for all the weddings - will save a fair bit then...
Hope work is ok and bet your looking forward to your two weeks of!
