Bumbling along to be Mortgage Free

*Jellie*

Sorry to hear you are still feeling run down. If your body is telling you to rest then do it!
How about smoothies to help fruit and veg intake? If stomach still bad I would stick to stewed apple and bioyoghurt but when your better then bioyoghurt with any fruit you fancy, maybe some manuka honey and wheatgerm.
I also find vitamin tonics helpful at this time of year if I'm run down and fighting off bugs

hope little ones party goes well and that you're feeling better

Have a wonderful party - please save me some cake!

I am wondering whether to renew my Costco membership but didn't really find meat etc to be cheaper but maybe it will be now that food generally seems to have gone quite expensive! I do love it there at christmas tho and we need a new tree so maybe it would be worth it?

Fingers crossed for ebay!

Have a lovely day Michelle,

I agree you have to be careful in Costco, to buy the right things. They sell huge sacks of birdseed at the cheapest price I've seen anywhere, their ready made trays of danish pastries are great for parties etc. I think you need to know supermarket prices for things before you go into Costco. I also agree that sometimes for the same price their quality is better.

Hope the party goes well. Nearest costco to me is 80 miles away or something so it's not someplace I have ever been. Could your tummy be stress?

Sounds like you had a lovely party and it's always wise to have them away from home.
What bad timing DH working away..as it's left you loads to do but as you say the money will be handy.Hope your tummy gets better soon.

Michelle - you seen the quidco 20p daily click for cheap flights?

your poor love...that sounds horrendous.
Well done on ebay and selling your buggy

big hugs Michelle, hope it heals soon. Get DH to do lots of chores whilst you rest it, before he goes away to work.

DH dropped the bombshell on me that he is having to work away down south Wed-Sun so i am going to have to do all the kid stuff myself, as well as sort the kitchen stuff being delivered and try and empty the kitchen ready for them to start work on the Monday. I am not quite sure how i am going to do that as well as all the kiddie related stuff, but i will have to get as much as we can done over the next couple of evenings so it is manageable. (Grimacing, but thinking of the overtime he will get paid at some stage.

to do lists. small, manageable goals that will give you a real sense of achievement when you cross them off.

another idea if sleep comes easy to you, one night go to bed early and get as good a nights sleep as you can manage cos it really sounds like you need it. You will be sooo much more productive the day after.

glad to hear that the party went well.
