Morning all!

Need to do my flyladying today.

Got up ay 0840! I need my sleep I am growing a baba

Taking the kids to the cinema this afternoon. They want to see bedtime stories. They can take sweets from christmas & fill up an empty water bottle with juice.

Had a nsd yesterday but today need quite a few bits. Will write a list though.

Another NY resolution will be to meal plan so will try & sort that out. It's hard, as I am semi veggie (I now eat fish), dd & dh are fine eating wise but ds is a nightmare, he is so fussy. I try not to panda to him, but it's hard, he really doesn't like stuff. He's been like it since about 1 & he's now 6 1/2. Also dh can get home quite late so he eats seperatly. I see peoples menu planners & think, blimey, I'd love to be like that. But I will do something, cos at least if I have planeed then it should save money!

Hope Tilly pusskins is ok. I gace extra cuddles to my Boots last night. She dug her claws in my legs in appreciation...!

Speak later

I hung out loads of laundry on the line yesterday morning as it was sunny and breezy. I didn't bring it in and this morning I have looked out and it is frozen and covered in frost. I do feel like a complete idiot but was wondering if anyone knows what I should do? Leave it to defrost, or bring it in?

I'd leave it to defrost..... but thats me just being lazy

Just a quickie to see how Tilly the poor cat is who got injured..hope she has recovered ok .
Also to Mudgekin, am glad you feel supported by the people here, sometimes it is good to come on here for a rant or a chat and to speak to people who are not directly involved if you see what I mean. Hugs to you and your DH xx

Morning all,
Not posted much lately, We've had DM & OH staying since Friday, they went home y/day. I tend to wait on her hand and foot and she loves it, although I felt exhausted by the time they left.

I stripped and re-made 3 beds y/day, vacumed, polished and ironed 15 shirts.Made a chick curry and a turkey,ham and leek pie.

Last time I shopped was on 23rd Dec. so need to pop out for a few things, might browse through the sales for B/day/Xmas pressies that I'll stash away, must make a note of where I put them.

MUDGEKIN, Just want to say how sorry I am to hear about Mr.M. Don't forget we are here for you.
MEANMARIE, Hope all goes well today, wrap up warm.
PINK, Hope your pusscat is on the mend.
CANDY, How's DD, mine is doing an impression of a Buddah. ((((hugs))))
SMOKY, Good to hear you got through xmas without to many setbacks. X

Hi Essex Girl

Hough is really shin of beef. Up here in freezing Scotland we have a dish called Potted Hough. Very very versatile and cheap and can be used in all sorts of way. It is delish on hot buttered toast and I also like to use a small dish if I am making stovies. (another leftover dish where there is a myriad of recipes)

Hi all
Im back! Have been busy with loads of things but I am going to add my few pennies worth again in 2009 - it needs a mans touch lol, One tip I am going to pass on,my wife and I have been getting some stamps each week from Morrisons - we only started in Sept and in the end we had £60 worth,it certainly helps towards the xmas bill,and shall be starting afresh this Sunday - if you can get £3 a week then thats a whopping £150 ish for the year. Also got 2 slow cookers for sons girlfriend and neice,they were both chuffed and have started using them already!!

Morning all,

Have decided to join this board and try to be OS in 2009 - I have a number of debts that I want to get rid of, and it should be relatively easy to do without making my life that hard!!! i hope!

So plans for today -

Docs to pick up hubby's prescription.
Home for housework

Will catch up later....

Morning, all. Hope everyone is ok. Had a bit of a traumatic night last night. As I mentioned in another thread, my darling H2B blew out a candle last night, and it kind of exploded, going over his face and the curtains and cabinet. Luckily, he was wearing his glasses. It took me a long time to calm down. So, today I'll be picking bits of black-coloured wax from the curtains. If I get chance, I'll be doing some sewing. Only an omelette tonight (in change from the meal plan) and probably a drink later.

Morning All!
Frezing here. Had to scrape the car off to take DS to work. Going to my GP this morning. Still having a relapse, and now I've got a cold and cough too:o
This has been going on for four weeks now. Feeling really fed up. Never had one this long before.

OH s working on his computer, just done my budget for the month. Determined to pay off the debts this year. Not too bad considering , and it's on 0%:T
Still, got to get it paid this year. DS will be 19 and my child benefit, tax credit and maintenance stop:eek: £400 a month less coming in.:o
He's thinking of applying for a Uni place near his dad in Cumbria, so OH says don't worry about the money, you'll save that in food bills!:rotfl:

Anyway (((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))t those that need them
Have a good day.
