Jamiedodger's Happy Times 2009 Diary

JAMIEDODGER

Morning:)

Adsa delivery arrived yesterday lunchtime, nothing left off which was great, this lot should last me until I go to asda next wednesday to do a big shop instore. I am doing well with using up what is left in the freezers although I will have to start on a list of what I will need next week, dont want to buy so much I cant fit it all in the freezer!

Managed a NSD yesterday so my £20 is still intact:)

Will probably do a roast for dinner this evening, will also be doing another inventory of freezer and another meal plan as I lost mine last week and need to do a another as I have been winging it for the last few days or so.

Decking is now finished!!!! Looks fab, will need to stain it but need to wait for a sunny day so it can dry properly! Garden furniture is all packed away for the winter and DD sandpit is now on decking, the kids now have the full run of the decking to play on for the winter, also gave the lawn its last mowing before the spring:)

Being hassled for a go on the computer lol, so better get off and I have loads to get done anyways....

Morning all:)

Didnt manage another NSD yesterday as I had promised kids they could have a 2pt of milkshake from the shop so I send ds1 down to get it and spent £1.29!!! However it is half term and thats pretty much all I have spent so far:D

We had lovely roast last night for dinner, and lasagne is planned for tonight. I did an inventory of food in the freezer and still have plenty of meals left. I need 6 days dinners before I do big shop and I still have a few more than that. Trying to use up big items to create more space in freezer.

Weather is still not great, although dry it is damp which means I am not getting washing dry on line and having to bring it in and hang on airers overnight which has slowed down the amount of washing I am able to get done in a day. I am thinking of investing in a tumble dryer next month. Its no saving to not have one then have to buy extra clothes as you have a longer turnaround!

Went through DD clothing last night and sorted out all the too small clothes and worse for wear ones and she seriously needs some new stuff. Pants, socks and pj's and also normal clothing for the winter. I am going to go through Novembers budget and see how much I think I can afford to spend. DS3 is pretty similar, he needs a lot of new winter stuff as he is grown so much in the last year. The older two boys are ok for clothing at the moment.

We are all going to a family party this weekend so will probably be spending a good part of my £20 there! Will have to make sure the next two days are NSD's!

Morning:)

Its a lovely sunny day here again! Managed to clear all the ironing yesterday apart from school uniform which I will do on Sunday.

Decided to move my front room around last night so lots of lugging around of furniture but it looks nice now:)

Have been doing a lot of decluttering again lately , its amazing how it builds up when you are not keeping an eye on it! My dad is coming round today to help me clear out the shed and move the old fridge freezer out as it is broken and create more space for when I buy the tumble dryer. Need to organise the camping equipment as it is sprawling all over the shed and needs to be a bit tidier!

Cant believe it is nearly half term over! As usual we have done nothing:D We love the sit back and chill approach to school holidays:) Kids have been outside a lot now the deck is finished so have had plenty of fresh air.

May have to brave the outside world today as need to go to the post office, but then again....maybe tomorrow:D.....

Morning PAP I can see you lurking:)

Shed all cleared out courtesy of my dad:A Cant wait to get tumble dryer now, especially as today is raining and I know I am not going to get any washing dry:mad:

Had awful night with DD she didnt sleep well as she had really bad toothache and spent most of the night in my bed! I see a visit to the dentist in my future!

Did some more ironing yesterday, really getting that pile down now! Ds3 has an inset day on Monday so wont be back to routine until Tuesday next week, lots of jobs need doing before xmas, painting etc.

Parties to go to today so need too get sorted this morning....

ouch to the toothache - my two have been coughing all night, so all very tired here this morning too. I hope your DD gets pain free soon and that you get some sleep in!

Have a good day, and enjoy your parties!

Morning guys!

Pap - Thanks:D I actually think I am happier now than I have ever been in my life! I dont have any particular worries and have simplified my life so that I only have things and people in it that make me happy. That was a hard job, removing people from my life that bought me down or complicated things but since I did that I certainly dont stress like I used to and now know that the people that are in my life are there because they add something extra to it:)

Hypno - Got DD to emergency dentist, her toothache was what I though it was, her last molars at the bottom were still cutting though the gum and that was causing the pain and swelling, dentist gave me penicillin and also told me to give her calpol for the pain, I hope the teething doesnt go on for too long as hate seeing her in pain!

The parties were fab and we all had a great time. With all the in and outing yesterday its safe to say my house is extremely messy this morning:D

It is going to take a bit of clearing up today but for now I am happy to sit in my dressing gown and drink tea:)

Raining hard here this morning so airers will be up again indoors!

Will be cracking on with ironing the school uniform today and perfecting my big asda shop list:D I cant wait to go to asda its soooo much better than tescos! Will also be looking for little xmas bits if they have any.

Have a great sunday everyone!

The tooth/gum pain should subside quite quickly......I hope so, anyway - toothache of any sort is miserable for all concerned!

I'm glad your parties were good - we were due to go to one at BiLs last night but both my two have nasty colds so I didn't think it right to inflict the bugs on other kids......it was the right thing to do, as it happens, because DD ended up fast asleep at 8pm - unheard of normally - so she must be feeling poorly. Instead we made pumpkin lanterns and provided for trick or treaters who visited......and today I will eat up the remaining mini aeros :rotfl:

I hope you have a good day! Don't work too hard!

JAMIEDODGER

Hope your two are feeling better today! I am still stuffed after all that party food yesterday although mini aeros do sound rather nice:D

hypno06

They are out doing their paper rounds right now - the fresh air will do them good

mini aeros are all air,so you can never get full up from them.........
