    I got a bargain today at Matalan, DD had got some money for Christmas and we physically can't fit any more toys in the house so I used it to replace her trousers that look like mini capri pants with her little tummy peeping out between the pants and old t-shirts that look like crop tops.
    Why does she only seem to grow in the middle?

    I spent £57 but have literally got a whole new wardrobe for her including lots of High School Musical stuff and 2 pairs of furry pink Ugg style boots that were £2 a pair in the sale. So I got 2 pairs in a 12 and a 13!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    My mother is DRIVING ME NUTS

    Every one else in the street has put their poxy recycling out but we can't ever do it during daylight hours, so instead we have to wait until its dark.

    do not ask really that is whole other rant!

    so instead of just asking me to she start making loads of noise and begins to take them out in to the front garden.

    they need to go out front near the road, so I hear the noise, and I have to say I just let rip felt quite good to be honest.

    Why the !!!! cannot she not just ask me, I wanted to do earlier, in fact I wanted to do it yesterday but no. she just is so ANNOYING. and childish.

    Her explanation? they are ready for you now. FOR WHAT? they have moved allllllllllllllll the way from the conservatory to the front garden . for !!!! sake what is the bloody point.

    really am I so incompetant that I can't even take the !!!!ing rubbish out.
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Sounds a right bargain Linda!

    My 2 have grown soooo much-I hope it means they will be tall like DH. Apparently, in genetics, children gain their height from their Dad and their weight from their Mom...oh dear...

    ...Linda xx

    Chilli, I've re-started SW and they have a new plan where you can mix green days and red days, so I can eat as much of the chilli and rice as I like :confused: Seems a bit weird but I'll give it a go :D

    I definitely got my height from my dad (mum's 4"10, he's 6"1, I'm 5"7) but I don't have her weight...well actually at the moment I do roughly (fine for me but not for her!)

    I'm okay thanks Bun, had a difficult Christmas but onwards and upwards :)
