How rude of me..................HELLOOOOO HAMPSTER!!!!!!!

Ds1 has had the same friend since starting nursery, the only ones that change are the girls they choose to hang around with!!!! (such a stud muffin:rotfl:) he keps going through phases like this, thinking this time it may be something to do with me working like a hero last few months and he is used to the structure of the childminders (they go somewhere everyday, i cant afford to pay for us to do it and him at the childminders ) so now i am having more time off the routine has been diprupted.

Well just paid £2.91 off egg2 so when the payment comes out at the end of the month it will make it a round figure. Just felt like a needed to pay something off, hate the middle and the end of the month when no debt busting can be done!

Wondered if any of you would by plants flowers/veg/fruit etc at a car boot sale???
Thinking that could be a money spinner, get cheap seeds, put them into pots that you get from the garden centre (i have loads from various plants i have bought in the past and kept) and once they are big enough trundle to a car boot sale and sell???????? only overlay is the seeds and compost (which is cheap enough at the mo) ummmmmmmm, may have left it a little late this year but could be a winner next year?????

tried to apply for aqa as some seem to make a good amount doing that but they are not taking anyone on from the uk at the moment. will have to keep checking. not many surveys about and need to get my motivation going for ebay. Oh and do the photos, gonna try and upload them to photo bucket first as read on here ebay then dont charge you for the photos uploaded from there...........worth a try. think i may sell my maternity stuff as a job lot as not much left, going to try and save as much of ds1's stuff as ds2 can have it when he is older, will save me money in the long run. Wish i had kept ds1's stuff when he was a baby but knowing my luck i would of had a girl if i did!

going to talk to my fella tonight about applying for the adverts to go on to your car. we do a fair few miles and have 2 cars so there is scope for some money to be made on there. I'm sure he will agree;)

Going to spend some time on the old style board for meal ideas as getting bored of eating the same stuff. needs some insperation for next weeks meal plan.

The weather is nice here today, and fabfuture, we got the monsoon like rain here accompanied with thunder and lightning, just in time for the kids finishing school!!!! did my plants the world of good though:D

Hello everyone, it is pouring down here today!!!! makes me glad i did the washing hokey cokey when the weather was fine and could dry it all outside!

Well today is a proud moment for me................i have bought my tax disc early and not had a major meltdown about how i was going to pay it!!!!!!:D just transfered the money out of the car fund and into my current account!!!! and i know i still have enough left over for any problems that arise in the mot next month!!!!!!

went to the bank yesterday to talk savings.................i knew more about what they offered than she did:eek: so the car fund is now in an isa and the xmas fund is in an account that limits my withdrawl's! still have my savings account open so may put a small amount in each month for clothes............................

have some more ideas for my plant car boot (thanks a million fay!) I WILL SOON BE A MILWIONAIRE!!!! (THINK DEL BOY):rotfl:

Hi Hun

Just having a catch up, you've done loads!!! Boo to tax credits - that really annoys me that they mess up then you have to pay it back!! Especially with all the MP's parlarver - look at what they spend and then they take money from honest hard working people like you...:mad:

Anyway .. I'm getting off my high horse ...

As for DS1 - my friends daughter is same age and is very similar ... she's started one of those behaviour charts (like on Super nanny) .. she says it is improving as its a visual aid where the sad faces get put on when she is cheeky, etc and she really doesn't like it when mummy is going to put a sad face up. So when she gets so many happy faces in a row, she does get a little treat (and it really isn't an expensive treat, just something like a new glittery pen or something she likes).

Can i just say Nurse Rags, after spending last night up the hospital for 4 hours, you guys are amazing and how you do that job, I'll never know, you really are brilliant. :A

Thanks emms!!!! tis a thankless job sometimes but think thats the british for ya, only comments when something is wrong, never compliments!!!!! i miss working in the hospital sometimes although love the fact that i can really get to know the residents and family where i am now.

well, in true pipsmum style i have started my little stockpile, my approved foods order has arrived!!!!!not quite up to her standards but getting there!!! ds2 will be pleased he has his oats so simples again!!! they were £1 per box so got 4, that should keep him going for a while!!!!! the only thing is they have charged me for 4 tind of peas but only sent me one! picky i know! how often do they add new things to there website??

Ha ha so I will be keeping a closer eye from now on.
