The Thrifty Gifty Girls 2009 (Organised & Money Neutral for All Occasions) #3

Morning all, wheres Sarah, I could do with a coffee

My blog link is http://ksrandomvocalisations.blogspot.com/ its also on my profile. At the moment theres only 2 posts, but we all have to start somewhere. Haven't had a brain explosion on the page yet (where I kinda think things out on the page), give it time, lol.

Hmm, lets see, on sky+ at the moment is: Hollyoaks, coronation street, My name is Earl, Ross Kemp: return to afghanistan, ITNG, Terminator: the sarah connor chronicles, Pushing Daisies, Harry Hills TV Burps, New Simpsons, & then any movies we spot that we want to watch - If ugly betty was back on she'd be on there as well. OH has his wrestling & hulk hogans new prog on there as well. It really comes in handy as we can choose what mood we're in to watch whatever, I can put ITNG when LO needs to calm down or fighting sleep (he comes for a cuddle & stays on my lap for the whole episode, totally engrossed).

Hoping the trip to the NEC will spur me on to do more ebaying. I have all my clothes out the roof in washing piles so thats my job for the next few days, get washed, ironed, photo'd, listed & packed away nicely. I'm also trying to be patient, & wait until we go to get 3 foam letters for LO's door plaque. I want ones that are between 5 & 10cms, but the ones I've seen sold online are either too small or more than I want to pay (willing to pay about £1 each including p&p), & I cant start on the plaque until I know exactly how big they will be - I hate waiting when I've got an idea in my head, lol.

That is just sooo sweet!!

Well done on the video your dad will love it! I didn't realise he lived in Bulgaria he must miss you and the littlies so much too, he must love getting videos etc etc from you. Actually I think I do remember on the hamper thread now that you were sending stuff out to Bulgaria. My brain doesn't retain info v well must be old age!!

Thankyou Yes my Dad and stepmum both live out there, they have been out there since the beginning of March My sister and her hubby were also out there but they came back last month cause they ran out of money so have come to get jobs (haha what a joke) I don't hear from my dad as much as I should but his internet connection out there is by satellite so doesn't always work. We do try to talk regularly though and both has webcams so use skype as it means skype to skype it is free to speak for however long we want and so I am normally sitting with the kids and they speak to him aswell

We were hoping to get out there this year but then OH lost his job and now I don't know how many years I will have to go without seeing him My son goes out in august though with my auntie who has paid for him to go see my dad, she can't take Maddison though.


Morning ladies, hope you are all well have a good day xxxx


Sorry I have nothing to report as I have been up a total of 57 minutes and already my day has gone wrong!

rusty that video of your little girl is so cute! I love her laugh! I tried love2recycle again and the code still won't work. will have to get OH to phone them and find out why. I have to take the boys for a haircut this morning - ds1 is already saying why do I have to it doesn't need cutting and getting all stroppy!

Will mellor used to be in Hollyoaks.. he was Jambo! I remember watching the first ever episode when it first came on.. But only because I fancied Nick Pickard LOL

I just re-read what I had typed and realised I had put 'blue' instead of 'but'.. Not sure what is going on there??

I have got to take a break for a few days now. I have had a migraine for a week and I just can't shift it. Last night I couldn't see the tv and I feel like I want someone to break my nose it is awful.

Am a bit stressed out this month and woke up to see I have started a second ToTM which is just brilliant. TMI I know but there you go. That's my life.

I'll try to read through all of your posts tonight if I get a quick ten minutes but I will be away for a bit now.. see you soon xx

Thanks Bunbun, if you send me the details of the phone and also your name/address I can sort it all for you so they send the envelope to you then all you will have to do is send them off if that helps??

I will need

• Make and model of phones
• Your full name
• Your address and post code (I deleted the pm with them on :rotfl:

The rest I should be able to do from my end

Good luck with the boys ... Maddison doesn't mind hers being cut, but Tom can be a pain and Paul just does his so we don't have to pay for it

Hope you feel better soon Mrs PLM, Migraines are horrible, I suffer with them regular but cannot shift mine because it is a medical problem ... the only way I can get rid of mine is by having a lumbar puncture to shift the fluid from my brain (Yes I have a brain ... its been prooved on MRI/CT scans :rotfl:)

You will be missed xxx

Oh .... I was thinking ...

No wait ... you are here!! look ladies the migraine miraculously dissapeared! yay

Weeelcome back Mel ... I nearly called you smell there

Is the bit in red a subliminal message?

I promise I will try .... I will have to book the night off work though and find someone to cover the shift unless I did the sunday .... although I need to see how the job interview for OH goes on monday ... I promise I will try and if I can't make it then I as soon as we have some money I will drive to the midlands to meet anyone local! lol

Hi all

Rusty - missed the video, but your dd is very cute. A lumbar puncture - isn't that horribly painful, you poor thing.

PLM - sorry to her you're still poorly, put your feet up.

Hi to everyone.

PS - I finally got my Mopay M&S vouchers, yay, but still no Virgin voucher.

My favourite programmes are LOST, Bones, Boston Legal, Entourage, Greys Anatomy and Brothers and Sisters, but I always wait until they come out on DVD so I can watch them all in one go, I am hopeless for remembering when things are on.

Happy weekend.

Yes yes very horribly painful, I have nightmares about them! ... have had 5 although the last time I made them knock me out so I didn't feel a thing til I came round and then it hurt although would rather be knocked out if I have to have more which I probably will I must be due another one soon lol ... I think if I had the choice or a LP or giving birth without pain relief then giving birth without pain relief is the better option
