Hi Ladies

i actually won a game on bingoport last night so redeemed my points for a £5 amazon voucher not bad for just over 1 week on there and no money spent can recommend it and several of us on here can refer any of you want ing to join.

Sorry to read all that nastiness Mel some people really have nothing better to do and as you know many of us have voted for you ourselves and got all our workmates/friends/family to vote too which quickly builds up the numbers. I love your work and still hope you win please ignore this silly people saying silly things on a silly computer site as Jammy rightly said real life is so much more important.

Rainmac sending you and your mum lotsa hugs

Rusty what a lovely thing to do for your OH hope he likes it

Wnated to say a big thank you for whoever put the link to the click thread here and sorry I can't remember who it was now but I will be studying that one later when I have more time!

Sorry to be quick in a hurry as taking DS to beavers then fat club xxx

Hi everyone, havn't been on for a while as been away and with the kids off havn't had time to do anything really...

anyway seeing as we are introducing

I am Cheryl, 39 (40 in 2 weeks :eek:) living in the North West but from Middlesex (Ashford) and most of my family are still there....I have one son and twind daughters (7,3,3) who keep me very busy...

I try to be thrifty with everything, sometimes it works, sometimes not! I do need to get myself sorted with a notebook, but at the moment although I have some gifts from the boots sale for my nieces I am mainly trying to build up extra cash with cashback sites / loyalty points ets. as I don't really have a lot of space to store stuff and so far I have been money neutral for gifts this year :j put a tenner in a card for ds friends birthday last week and spent £30 on a bottle of whisky and a top for fil and it was lovely to just 'transfer' the money from my neutral fund....

anyway I have totally waffled and not been at all amusing with my hello..I love following this thread and although I havn't caught up for a few weeks I have scanned a few pages and noticed there has been some funny stuff going on...I just want to say I hope all the tgirls remain on here as you are all fab personalities and make this thread really fun and also I get loads of tips as well..

just to say I am also trying to be crafty and have made a few cards so far and my sis a nappy cake which went down really well...and also the ladies in my family got flannel bunnies that they were quite impressed with!!

Rainmac, good luck with your sale, bet you will be pleasantly surprised and chuffed hun x

will try my hardest to read back to catch up properly but in the absence of knowing what is going on properly ,hugs to all you guys who need it xx

Mel -You are sooo talented, just ignore all those nasty snipers on that blog with probably nothing else to do with their lives.... Please don't let them get you down, you have enough going on at the moment....sending lotsa love and dodgy hugs to you :grouphug:and also :santa2::snow_laug:xmastree: lots of warm fuzzy christmas thoughts x

Marg

At Last!.......... I only went AWOL on Sunday and it's taken me nearly 2 hours to catch up with you all. Sad, but due to my great age I can't remember what I read at the beginning!

I'm Marg married, no children, 2 delinquent cats & live in Lancashire, too shy to say exactly how old I am but probably old enough to be Mum to most of you! I try to be thrifty, saving money rather than making it and have recently got into making cards - I love it - and [STRIKE]hope[/STRIKE] need to improve at it.

PLM - take no notice of the horrid people on that site - they haven't even got the guts to give their names - I don't trust anonymous people.

Rainmac - I understand the look your Mum gave you!! I'll buy your stuff at the 'fayre' and be proud to do so - just let me know where & when.

Rusty - hope back continues to improve - sorry don't fancy a ride in your car after DD redecorated it for you.

Padster - much prefer the bigger budgies.

Hayley - you can call here for a cuppa anytime

I've forgotten some but too tired to trawl back just now (check the time!!) I'll try again tomorrow - Night all

mhagster

A quick good morning whilst my bath is running....guilty pleasure in morning .....a blissful, half hour ,just me , a book and a deep bath!
it's Friday...hurrah! I have work then need to start delivering my children to the various kind people who are having them for the weekend while OH and I go visiting ! Of course had intended packing etc last night but somehow didn't happen so will have to throw it all together tonight!

I hope you all have a good day( on the eve of Rudolph day) I hope to be a bit thrifty and gifty this weekend and buy a few things to put away for christmas time.

Do I have virtual BO?
Is nobody else saying hello today??

RustyFlange

Hello today :rotfl:

Sorry ladies I have been out all day with OH. My pushchair broke yesterday with DD in it and so had to take that back to be repaired, I have been busy selling on ebay, and with other things so had to sort all of that out, I am in complete agony with my back again and also me leg DD is being a complete little madam!!! ... DS is being a little angel.

I was supposed to cook a meal for OH last night, instead he cooked for me woohoo! he enjoyed his wine and then promptly fell asleep on the settee just after I went to bed so I came down at 3:30 this morning to wake him up and send him to bed!

hope everyone is ok, sorry I haven't got much to say and busy busy xx

rainmac

Hello everyone, I've been busy today too , cleaning and gardening, yep I did say gardening I cut the front grass and planted some strawberry plants with DS2. I have several seed packets I have accumulated either freebies or cheap so need to do something with those, maybe over the weekend?

Hope everyone's ok

SugarSpun

I've accomplished all but one item on an enormous to do list today ... and then passed right out for a 4-hour nap. I'm about to do the very last thing, after which it will be time for dinner and then I may even have a bath and wander off to bed. Whoo hoo!

RustyFlange

OH has a shift at the club tonight which means I get 8-12 child free (they will be in bed) and OH free! ... I said if the massive basket of ironing is folded then I would sit and iron as much as I could ... however he doesn't appear to be bothered so I will not be touching it (I refuse to do everything around here!!!)

I now have a total of £551.31 I doubt I can get anywhere near the £750 target by next week! but I will try! ... have some more things to list on ebay, and also the girls in my local wilkos have been on the phone asking for some nappy cake flyers
