eeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllffffffffffffffffff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my goodness is that your house mel - I love it.

I love the secretary of the dad on elf - she's so happy.

Hugs rusty - what is it with men. I have constant running arguments about money and work with my husband. He never does anything to help with the housework and is always whinging about how messy I am then I say help then- and he comes back with - "I go to work", the thing is this last year I've brought more money into the house than him with money I was left by mam (most put towards reducing our mortgage) Also if I had to go to work we would have to pay full time child care as I don't have anyone who can take her, so whatever wage I could make would go back on childcare. But he doesn't think of things like that. Also we wouldn't have this house without the equity I made from my flat that I bought on my own, and worked hard for. But oh no I do nothing cos "I don't work". Like being a housewife and a mother is doing nothing!!!

oh i feel dodgey this morning, smells are making we want to hurl - better get on - house to tidy, three cards to make, dog to walk, 3 things to ebay. Pick up 2 cinema tickets for sis in law, finish assignment while dd is at nursery, see 3 houses this evening.
DD is watching thumbelina, bah...just lost the ooomph - going to get back into bed for an hour. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

scattymam1

Also with husand he's always whinging about me keeping stuff to car boot or for always being on here doing surveys. He reckons they're a waste of time...but does he complain when it comes to spending the money or the vouchers...does he!? NO!

Hi,

are you looking for suggestions of 30 things for your OH? what do you already have? and whats the budget?

Hi Rusty - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The budget is not a lot if tis something I buy in a shop but I am able to get Amazon vouchers so have been able touse those online for a some more expensive items.

So far I have some bits from the year he was born - number 1 single, magazine from the week, dvd and book of the fa cup for that year (2 items), the dandy annual for 1979, a set of coins of the realm 1979, his scrapbook/photo album, box set of royale family (amazon) box set of steptoe and son (amazon), two lynx sprays and two lynx shower gels.

Will get some socks and pants and may be shirt, hes not really into silly presents, so rules out a lot of things as he just wouldnt see the point lol. The items I have bought so far already add up to £100 inc £45 in amazon vouchers. I have another £5 voucher and if i carry on with the bingo will probs have some more in a few weeks so might be able to get another box set dvd or something.

Really thought this would be easy when I started out but didnt even think about how much it was all going to cost.

I said in another post that we have a new "the range" shop opening soon but dont know when. I have until August to get everything so not a real rush but glad I started early.
