Rusty, you silly moo, theres nothing to forgive you for! I think getting the whole set is extremely thrifty, they'll sell for soooooooo much more on ebay etc as a set!!!

Choccy, you been stamping yet?

Well done on getting finished mhags, so nice of you to do thank you cards, with my family & friends its a text or a tq in person, which is fine, its the ones who dont even bother to say anything that drive me mad!!!! So for you to not only do CARDS but to make them as well :eek:your a star!!!

You got an alarm on your mobile Hayley? set it if you have, & your oh's for a lil later, & any others in the house. I have about 4 to wake me up, thats when Kai isnt waking me up at 6.

Nope :rotfl:

I didnt get back from Tesco until 5 I havent even made any food.. Ive had 3 chocolate eclairs Pizza sat in the fridge though..
I am enjoying not having set meal times :rotfl:

sylphraven

What on earth have you been doing in Tesco's for about 4? hours?? lol

jamtart6

choccy - your kids and OH will wonder what has happened to you!!!!

hayley11

Thanks ladies, don't know what i'd do without you all

I'm feeling a bit happier now after reading about jammy's counting sheep machine thingy :rotfl: you nutter!! :rotfl:

My OH is being horrible today! We've fallen out about 3 times and we don't really argue that much. And guess what, each time has been my fault :rolleyes: Funny that! He just said you better watch who you're talking to :eek: I'll give him watch who you're talking to! He'll be sleeping with the hamster if he comes out with anymore lines like that!! Men! :mad:

Well i've been cryin quite a lot this evening (don't worry, I cry all the time! :rotfl:) and crying usually tires me out so I am going to dry my hair, lay my clothes out for the morning and get in bed.

I've set my alarm for 9am, i've turned the volume right up and i'm going to put it on charge on the other side of the room and I will definitely have to go and turn it off because it doesn't stop until you do turn it off! :rotfl: fingers crossed that does the trick

Paddingtondoo - your cards are lovely and your bag is gorgeous! :T You are very talented!

Choccy - you were in Tesco's for 4 hours :eek: :rotfl:

Okay i'm going to go dry my hair, i'll post in the morning and let you know if i've got up or not Well actually if I haven't got up...I won't be posting will I? Because i'll be asleep :rotfl: But I am going to get up so I WILL post in the morning, positive thinking

Night xxx

Hayley - The sheep machine thing started when I was about 7. No wonder I'm eligible for MENSA:o Really funny about "OH will be sleeping with the hamster" - thats a helluva threat :rotfl:hate it when they are being sods though. Asked OH to take me to Tesco and then Mum asked me to get soemthing from chemistso we came out of hosp and he said "so where are we going" I said "Tesco and the chemist" "UGHHH WHEN DID IT BECOME TESCO AND THE CHEMIST??" - err about 5 minutes ago in the conversation we all had, now stop being a sod! :rolleyes: :rotfl:

You will prob worry so much about getting up that you will not sleep anyway. I did that once, stayed at a colleagues house, was SO paranoid about waking up at 7.30 on time that I worried all night got to sleep about 6am woke up with the alarm at 7.30 and was that shattered I fell back asleep until 9 :rotfl:

Anyway I digress, have a good sleep tonight, have a good day tomorrow and SAWYER IS BACK ON YOUR TELLY TOMORROW NIGHT:T

Evening all..

Just finished watching the Apprentice I love it

Rusty - I think you've done brilliantly well with your daughter's birthday presents so don't be too hard on yourself.

Jamtart - sorry to hear about your grandfather ((((hugs)))

Hayley11 - stress is terrible for causing insomnia and there is nothing worse than insomnia. I haven't slept properly for the last 2 nights so I've got a nice cold cider hoping it will make me sleep tonight lol i never drink so its a rare treat. Failing that I am going to buy some new pillows tomorrow cos I think they may be part of the reason.

Had a great day today met some of the school mums over country park and spent the afternoon there but it didn't go without a few disasters little Harri whinged all the way around because he didn't want to walk, he then fell in the river (very shallow part) and then decided he wanted a pee and promptly peed all over my hands as I tried to pull his trousers down:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: ah well kids eh?

Been shopping for a new bed for Jake tonight as the poor thing is still in his Thomas the Tank bed so I am hoping to put that up for sale this week and that should pay for his new bed. That is quite thrifty for me

I know, sooo excited!! :j :j I'm excited about Lost by the way, not Sawyer :rotfl: He's not really my cup of tea, don't think i'd say no though! :rotfl:

I can never sleep if i've got something important the next day and if I do drop off, I dream i've got up late and missed whatever it was! :rotfl: Oooh and if it's my birthday or christmas, or if we're going on holiday, that's because i'm all giddy and excited though! :rotfl:

Arghh that's the most annoying thing about men isn't it, selective hearing!! :rotfl: He got in a mood with me when we were in town, we were in this shop and he was looking at clothes, I told him I was going outside because I was too hot, he came storming out a minute later in a mood because i'd "stormed out" but i'd told him I was going out!! :rotfl: Then he called me a naughty word so I did get in a mood then!! Ohh it's been one of those bloomin days!! :rotfl:

I do feel very sleepy tonight and I have calmed down now so fingers crossed I will go to sleep easy, I think I might go and make up with my OH because I won't be able to sleep if i'm mad at him and then if I can't sleep because of that i'll be even more mad at him! :rotfl:

Still keep giggling about that sheep machine thingy! Aww bless you jammy! :rotfl:

Shelley - so funny about your little un weeing on you!! Sorry! :rotfl: :rotfl::D Glad you had a good day.

Night xx

Jammy - this is especially for you then (as you seem to like sawyer, too - hope he cheers you up :-) )

PHWOOAR - that's the way we like him
messy hair - bit of beard, but he's all shaven and straight haired and chest is covered up with that bloody jumpsuit now!!!
I'm hoping they'll have to escape from the compound soon and go back into the island and get dirty again.

AHHHH angels and demons is out at the end of the month - and ewan mcgregor is in it too - looks fab - can't wait for that. Then May 1st I'm going to see Al Murray Pub Landlord (hubbies christmas present).

sylphraven

Thank you Scatty, not having a good morning & the thought of Angels & Demons coming out has cheered me up a bit, I know what I wanna do on my b'day now, lol.

Just to warn everyone here I'm not in a good place today & am rather short fused so may be a bit quieter today rather than explode at any thrifty gifty friends. I'm tired (my own fault, I knew Kai would be up round 6ish but still kept chatting until late last night) & my cats are ill The one began being sick, as he'd had a new make of food I changed him back again, then the other cats began being ill. OH is organising taking them to the vets tomorrow. Apart from being sick & not eating they just seem a lil quieter than normal. I even tried giving them poached fish this morning which normally they'd be round my ankles as soon as it was out the freezer, not today, they sniffed it when I took it up but havent touched it.
To top it off I tried talking to OH about it, that I was hoping it was a virus but them not coming down to the smell of fish really had me concerned & I was told to shut up, that he was very worried & didnt need me adding to it. Earlier he'd said that he thought this is what his parents cat had died of, so he's allowed to vent but I'm not So I'm venting to you guys

Am off to check on them & then find a distraction. I would spend the day with them but then LO would have to be with me & that would be unfair to them when they're ill, theres only so much time a cat will put up with a very loving 2 year old.

Hayley, hope you had a night's sleep or as much sleep as you need to function today and enjoy bowling x

Sylph, poor you, hope your cats are ok. Ours was ill with a liver infection a while ago and I don't think he's got back to normal, not sure if I should take him back to the vet... Coping with anything when you haven't slept well is difficult but coping with children and poorly cats is even harder. Make sure you do something for you to help get you through the day.

Rusty, I love Darby on her scooter, I too think having the set is a brainy move as you will be able to sell them for loads more. You;ve done so blooming well on money saving and selling I don't think you should be feeling at all guilty or bad, you've done it for your DD and the look on her face on her birthday will be all you need to know you've done the right thing. I'm going to attempt to sort out all DS1's Duplo today with the view of selling it. We have tons of the stuff and all the Thomas the Tank Engine Duplo so going to try ebaying it.

Jammy, do you carry handcream with you, it helps with all that hand washing

PLM, so sorry your sister has such a long wait for some results x

mhagster, do we get to have a peep at your creations?

Paddington, your latest bag and cards are fab, have left comments on your blog x I for one would like to see the progress of the little birdies

Shelley, boys :rolleyes: they just wee everywhere don't they!

So Choccy, spill, what were you doing in Mr T's for 4 hours

My boys seem a bit better this morning, thank goodness, they are currently tucking into toast and dry cereal.

Sending hugs and love to everyone x
