I've been out spending money this morning ... bought my son some wellies that were heavily reduced from £7 to 50p!!!!
Then bought some for my daughter which were half price at £4 however now I cannot take them off .... The man in the shop had to scan her welly with her foot still inside!!! she refuses point blank to take them off the little madam and heaven forbid you try and by golly does she scream :rotfl:
I tried to get myself some wellies and can't get any of them on ... since when did they make welly boots so narrow

jamtart6 - so sorry to hear about your grandad.

Scattymam - lovely book, but what's a cybercrop ?

orchid-96 - sorry I can't help as I'm a newbie to crafting too

I am going to complain to welly makers cause I am less than impressed ... OH said he will buy me some new flip flops so I can wear them ... (he is taking the mick as I live in flip flops all year round and rarely wear anything else )

I was pregnant with DS1 when I was 21 so never really celebrated that big one.

I'll be enormously pregnant this birthday. Bah.

On the plus side, I won't care about eating too much cake and getting fat. It'll all have to come off eventually anyway... what's another few pounds?

Jammy huge hugs to you,your family and of course your grandad. We are having a similar thing here ( Its part of the reason why i was AWOL ) Grandad had a new knee, he has Myloma(?sp) and last week had to have a biopsy on his kidneys. So if you need someone to talk to you know where i am.

PLM I loooove your blog, Beautiful work as ever. My aim is to one day be nearly as good as you.

Rusty What a beautiful dolls house, i love freecycle its great.

Since Sarah191979 has 29 coffees I have 38 and from March i will be having 39 lol Well actually thats not right. I got to 30 and now go backwards, so i am nearly 21 !! oooh any excuse for a party

I cant stop buying pretty papers i think i am addicted
Bought lots of Once Upon a time off Creative Craft World after finding it when someone had bought something on here. I think it was Padingtondoo ? appologies if it wasnt. They are sooo helpful , friendly and great prices. Just had to share that since we are being thrifty. I have been buying for myself so that bit was gifty lol

aww thanks you lot you have been so sweet! You have cheered me up so much with your kindnes..:) Had a good old sob last night and think I've cried all my tears away, and was supposed to wake up this morning, plan my work and get on with being positive....

Except I woke up with my face the size of a balloon and a god damn abcess on my tooth! I've never had a filling and have a morbid fear of dentists, so my mother had to (almost literally!!) drag me there this morning. Nightmare! Got to go back next week, and have 3 fillings (OMG!!!) and either a 'molar...*insert fancy word*' or have the tooth out!!!ARGH

So feeling thoroughly sorry for myself, my boss wanted me to stay at work but I've told him I've only come in to do essentials then I'm getting home to relax for a bit! So he has now been told where to go and it felt good!! I am loving this week *not* and it is only 1.30 on Tuesday afternon lol! At least I'm smiling!!

I haven't done anything for the Valentines day camp-out so need to get a rocket up my jacksy on that one - can see me cutting paper hearts out on Saturday afternoon!!!
