Morning all :wave:

Not sure what to do today and in what order. Little Harri pooed the bed again last night although he seems fine in the day I think he has some bug. OH was sick last night (although I'm sure he made himself sick:mad:) and laid on the sofa all night with a blanket on him!!!!! After surpassing myself by getting so much done yesterday and not feeling well myself i was a bit irritated tbh. But hey ho he's a man!!!

Been trying everywhere to get nice, inexpensive toys for nappy cakes but failing miserably. Just noticed M&S have 3 for 2 on their toys again so may pop up to Cardiff as its my best friend's son's 1st birthday on the 28th too so I might be able to get a pressie for him and buy the toys same time and save some pennies:)

Well done to all those who have sold on Ebay I still haven't done it yet

Shelley I was in sainsburys yesterday and spotted little rabbits, they are a good size (little bit smaller than the Ellies) and they were £1.99 they had baby blue and baby pink. I have enough teds at the min in stock but will keep an eye open after easter when they reduce them. I think I will look into the M&S ones as they have some lovely ones.

Awww shelley your poor little lad, I would of loved to eat that many cream eggs.

Ladies I would love to take you all to vegas with me you could all be my bridesmaids if I am getting married by Elvis. I dont think I will be though, maybe in a year or 2.

Just watching Jeremy Kyle at the moment, god there are always the same tory, your not the dad, I am the dad, you cheated on me, no you cheated on me!!!! Think I am going to haul my bum down to the gym to save my sanity, a girl can stand only so much day time tv x x x

Oh yeah...I thought you were all totally ladies who lunch in smart pencil skirts, 8 inch heels and little clothes who go out in the depths of winter without a coat but wearing sunglasses? When you aren't lunching on salad leaves, don't you go home to your perfectly tidy show houses and smile at your perfect kids (who you have left with their nanny called Olga whilst you have been lunching)? I thought you then came home to craft the afternoon away, catch up on your blogs and then cook a meal for your dearly beloved before an evening out at the opera with the women's institute?

Have I got the wrong end of the stick?!?!

Yep, that sounds like me - :rolleyes:

Good Morning Everyone,

Well I thought I would have some "time out" time this morning while DS is in School so I'm sat here with a nice coffee catching up on all the goss!

Morning ladies...oooh I can say morning! I'm up very early today!

Feeling much much happier today. After a very good cry and chat with my brilliant OH yesterday, we've decided to try and get me into a routine, a little bit at a time. So today I had to get up at 10, I was "allowed" on the computer for 30 minutes then shower and clean teeth. Then I can do what I want. I actually got up at 10.20, got straight in the shower, cleaned my teeth and came on here and i've been catching up for the last 40 minutes! :rotfl: Every few days we add something extra on to my routine. I sound like a child don't I? This kind of thing seems to works for me and I love knowing that my OH is proud of me

22 of my 41 items on ebay have bids, comes up to around £43. Most are ending today and have got a lot of watchers so i'm hoping for a mad bidding war at the end Some items don't end til Sunday so should get even more pennies :j

I decided to open a notepad and write down replies to all your threads because I really do forget sometimes and I like reading all your posts and replying to them

furry - don't worry, I won't leave this thread It's the best thread on MSE

skiergirl - thanks for your message, greatly appreciated

jammy - OMG how did you know? That's exactly how my life is! I was letting the nanny have the day off yesterday but today the kids are out with the nanny and i'm off to a champagne lunch dahling!

aurora - you're right 100%. I am far too young to be sitting at home
moping about things. Hopefully things will start to look up soon.

plm - I'll join in the advent swap. The other thread for the hamper swap is a fab idea too but I feel like I know you all a lot better and I don't fancy doing both. Hopefully I will be much much better at crafty stuff by then! :rotfl:

:rotfl: @ no loo rolls! And 9 boxes of coco pops!! :rotfl:

orchid - I like that what you said, about each day being a new blank canvass, stops you dwelling on how bad yesterday might have been really and keeps you positive

shelley - That egg is awesome!! Hmmm imagine eating all those creme eggs, hmmmm

Shev - I think i'd rather go to the gym than watch jeremy kyle and that's saying something! My sister got tickets recently (she's a chav) and wanted me to go with her! No chance! I'd rather eat my own head!! :rotfl:

Well i'm going to go and make a cuppa and get my clothes ironed, going to the hospital with my dad later. He's got to have an EEG today and a CT scan next week because he had a fit a while ago.

I am going to get organised for tomorrows Rudolph Day too because I didn't join in last month, didn't even know what it was then :rotfl:

Have a nice day ladies

Thanks for the link Jamtart my little one is standing by my side shouting "does that fit me?" when he saw the obi wan kenobi outfit. I can feel a definite trip to Marksy's coming on.

Thanks Rusty I saw those yesterday but didn't pick them up!!! Did get a nice lamb from Tesco for £3. The M&S ones are lovely and I have used them a lot in the past.

Don't blame him Shelley! I want one!! I love star wars!!

Hayley - we are proud of you too! (Jack and Sawyer are too, they told me ) I work well with routines. In fact I'm not going to do anything online until 12. I am so addicted to e-mail checking,facebook checking and MSE checking - not good!
