House slowly returning to normal. Nice to see friends but still lovely to have things back to yourself IYKWIM. Uniforms are drying on the airer and have to make a fire soon. Its rained non stop this morning so hopefully it will dry up so I can take the dog for a walk, needed my me and the dog!! Been looking at Novembers budget and must allow for a wedding at the beginning of Dec so will need to make sure were all kitted out, Im still trying to lose some weight so dont want to buy anything just yet. DD is sorted and so is DS2 DS1 just keeps growing so will have to sort him out. Then of course there is the dreaded xmas coming down the track too and I really want to see the back of dear old barclaycard this year, so Im hoping to manage it all but deep down know that it may be the new year before the card is gone!:mad: Right Im off for a walk and then will catch up with everyone on here.

Sorry havent been around folks. Had awful tootache and have been back and forth to dentist, thought all was sorted on Friday but now have pain in a tooth that was ok until someone started poking around IYKWIM!!!!! So must make yet another appointment god knows what the total bill will be I dread to think :eek: On another note I have new specs ready to pick up which I cant do until I know what my pegs are going to cost!!!!
Apart from all that, things are ok DD has been moaning about not being able to go here and there, despite there being a car on the drive and all things ready to go to do theory test!!!! Bl***y teenagers drive you nuts. I'd have been driving come what may if that was me! She's also having probs with !!!!!y girls at school dont you just want to scream sometimes. Hope everyone is having a better day than moi. :rotfl:

Poor you! Toothache is *so* debilitating .... and teenagers can be too

My advice: scream into a cushion! You'd be surprised at how good a cushion is for soundproofing

turfy6

Will try the cushion option KC :rotfl:but I'll make sure everyone bar the dog is out when I do so, otherwise they will defo think Ive lost the plot!!
Had to pay out €300 for our porky pig which will be all ready cut up and ready for the freezer by the end of the week. I know it seems a lot but it really is loads of meat and so yummy as its all organic still it means this month is tighter than ever with the wedding still looming. Never mind dear old barclaycard may be with me a bit longer than I'd hoped for. DH was so impressed when I told him the balance is now below £500 :T I suppose it really is a step in the right direction and should really be patting myself on the back, but as usual feel I could do more to shift it.

Karmacat

Wow - it does seem a lot, tbh - how much would that be per portion, do you reckon? I've no idea, being veggie all these years

You're definitely on the way tho - just keep going, and make sure you have the odd treat in there - thats where I fall down, thats part of the reason I get sick so often.

turfy6

Not sure portion wise. We get tons of chops, loads of sausages and joints and butcher puts back some bacon (or rashers as they say here) and a couple of hams, so its loads of meat and will keep us all going until the spring at least, so I suppose its not so bad when you think how much you pay for a good joint of pork at a good butchers.

Have been up since silly oclock and have the cold from hell, yet again, dont know whats going on as I havent suffered much the past couple of years, perhaps theyve all come together, anyway have sandwiches made, d/w on and w/m so will get kids off to school and slither back into bed, its very frosty here this morning and very cold, winter is definitely here now. brrrr

lucielle

Have you got a good book you can curl up with? Hope you feel better soon

Sounds well worth it - but sorry to hear you're suffering with another cold - I'm struggling too, it just drags on and on ..... I'm already wishing winter was over, and it isn't really winter here yet!
