Me too Bunbun thought you meant washing up liquid :rotfl:
Home from slimming club with a 1 1/2 lb weight loss so very pleased
Paddington - glad i dont live next door to you tonight
Tomorrow me and OH have to sit down and meal plan. We don't get paid until the last day of the month:eek::eek::eek: and after checking our bank account we will have to have no spend days for 10 consecutive days :eek:
Hope everyone is having a lovely evening xLittle Miss Chatterbox

£60 deposit paid :j £100 paid:j £40 paid:j0 -
Well done on the weight loss shelley xx Hope you are staying strong xx
Well I knew it was too good to last .... I have sat and made up 9 things to list on ebay and asked OH to take pics, he is refusing to do the auctions. .. oh well no money then :rotfl: Apparently it is his house and his rules .... so tomorrow morning I plan to box up everything of mine and fill the garage up with it all again and go apply on the lettings list... I am sick of living like this and him not realising how much I actually do. I applied for part time jobs so that I could go out to work and contribute to the bills and mortgage but when I went to send them off he wouldn't let me, apparently his job (before he lost it) meant I can't work as I need to be here for the kids :rolleyes: so I give up! Can't go on any longer like this I feel like I want to lash out and kick and screamI am also refusing to do any more house work :rotfl: I will tidy up after myself and my 2 kids and nuts to him! Grrrrrrr men! and to think we had 2 lovely nights together and now this!!!
I might even get the wedding photo back out of the drawer of him and his ex wife which only got took down at christmas just over a year ago! only reason I was allowed to move it was because I told him I didn't want my sister seeing it! :rolleyes: apparently it is the only picture he has of his nan which is a lie!Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -
Tis ok - DD started eating her icecream with her fingers and despite being warned carried on so was sent to bed at 10 past 7
.
Why do they do it????? Still peace and quiet for OH and I to ignore each other :rotfl:.
He obviously had a bad day at work and we fell out over something really daft - I gave him a cuddle and apparently my nose was cold. He flew off the handle as he has allegedly told me loads of times that he hates it.
Am going to make sure that my feet are freeeeezing when I get into bed tonight :rotfl: am feeling nasty now!Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended

Thanks for the comments guys, I just think it looks a little plain! Might get the twinkly sequins out
I have also bought her Mamma Mia, a Chanel perfume thing she wanted and flowers. Also considering giving her the scrapbook that I meant to give her at Christmas, but I have not been in the good books today, so will just see how that goes!
:D I feel like I need another 'bought' present too as that is gonna look well measley.
I would move the flower down, but another unfortunate incident with the brad-hole-maker (?) resulted in it being slightly higher than I wanted, but fortunately did not pierce my finger.
Broken glass is indeed a great suggestion Rusty, god bless you!
The eye is fine- it was TOTAL paranoia, it must have been a minor itch, but was convinced it was bleeding from shattered coaster :rotfl: The best thing about me is I'm not dramatic AT ALL! :eek::rotfl:

Hello ladies
I went to Shrewsbury with my sister today and FINALLY got to ransack the QVC outlet. I am not kidding, I was in there for 5 hours with a Mcdonalds break in between. Am absolutely shattered now. There was NOTHING and it all sucked. Finally managed to get the digital prima hybrid kit but not any of the crystals etc.
I am going to rebel and order it all online tonight YAY! or am i.. Do I really need it.. ARGH!!
I managed to get loads of GIANT doughnuts, danish whirls and croissants reduced to 39p from Sainsburys tonight so they will shortly be making a stop at my mouth. WOOOP WOOP!
I had best get on with something for Rudolph day! TSK
Is there anything anyone would want to see, read about, happen for it?
Thanks everyone for your lovely comments RE the thread. Really touched me, almost as much as Scattymams beautiful poem.
It is so nice to have a perfect family to escape to when you have such a dysfunctional one LOL Thank you all for being my escape.
CHRISTMAS ALERT
About this time each year I start to long for Christmas. I'm not even kidding.. I miss the songs, I desperately want to watch Elf. I miss the cold dark nights, driving around the estate with the kids in the car looking for christmas lights. I countdown to christmas in July on QVC because it means that in 2 months the things will be in the shops and I can get excited.
It really depresses me.. I think it is some kind of an illness LOL I am addicted to Christmas!!
Just wanted to pre warn you all I am christmas-sick.
I will be here doing this.. being organised for christmas and chatting proudly about it until the day I die and if you guys want to join me then I will be honoured to share my madness with you x
Christmas nutters forever
