OMG how cold is it?!!! Feeling a bit better but I think it's just this time of year when we are bombarded with all the adverts with the happy families:o... ok maybe quite far from the reality...
Money = disaster! ok, I had £4 for the week? DS reminded me that he needed £3.50 (yes, school AGAIN) and that we had no fruit! so had to take another tenner out...must try to recoup out of next weeks shopping budget...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Husbands are sometimes not all they are cracked up to be............
- man farts
- skiddy underwear
- puddles on the bathroom floor
Add to:- 20 additional years of "selfish messy git" syndrome that you encountered yesterday
- earthquake inducing snores
- inability to think

I'm hoping my DS is going to be so well trained that it'll be one thing that won't drive his potential partners mad:D;)! (don't want him coming back to mother...) now if only I could do something about the constant drumming:rolleyes:...
Have just walked back from my folks and it's soooo cold out there! maybe it's going to snow... yikes! hate driving in it... was wearing silly hat so ears didn't freeze but brrrrr...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Did lots of surveys - or it seemed that way... got free pizza offer through door so think we have to do that for tea or it would just be rude! Need to go pick up DS in a bit and it's pouring again...
Have worked out why I seem to be so skint these days:o... DS has been having school lunches but I didn't add anything to my budget for this... so have now adjusted so I now have wriggle room! I know he could have a packed lunch but like him to have a proper meal in the winter especially when he's doing stuff at six and only has time to grab some fruit beforehand.Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Watching Kirsty and I had to chuckle when she was impressed by making all her Christmas cards for £20..............I am lucky if I spend £5:DBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0
