Evening all, ds had 4 nosebleeds at school today so they phoned me at work which panicked me completely (the only time they've ever phoned me before was when he was excluded so I immediately thought he'd done something wrong ). He has had a bungled nose recently (a word he used as a toddler and its stuck ever since), he does get quite a lot of them in the summer when its hot but not sure whats brought them on today. So he's now playing quietly with warnings not to over-exert himself (never any danger of that with him lol)

The flat is nice and tidy and it feels strange not having loads of jobs to do indoors for a change! Only spends today have been £2.70 on ebay postage but that comes out of my ebay money, and £1.80 for ds disco ticket for friday.

Need to start thinking how to make some money this month as quidco is only paying out £1.50 of the £80 odd quid I'm still waiting for £30 of it was earnt last july and I already put in an enquiry for it and it was validated but God knows when or if I'll ever see them money :mad:

Sorry to hear DS has been poorly today - my DD used to suffer with nose bleeds - in this weather it was normally the combination of a bungled nose and the cold air that cause it!
Hope he feels better soon - hope quidco get there act together soon!
I'm feeling bit like you, money slow coming in but at least half term is coming up soon - can't wait :j

Right here I go again ....

I know you've heard this one a million times, and yet it never gets anywhere ....

So, I've been thinking in the bath, and have set myself a new challenge:

February is my body month

Basically, rather than start yet another diet (that should go on for yonks until I've lost the weight but actually fizzles out in a matter of days), Ive decided to make this the month I make my body a priority. This involves:

• losing a stone
• getting my hair cut and highlighted (the easy bit )
• making a dentist appointment
• going to the gym at least 3 times a week
• not biting my fingernails
• booking an appointment at the beauticians (had a voucher for over a year and not used it )
• drinking bucketloads of water
• Keep my eyebrows in check

So, thats it! Thinking the £10 a day might be a bit easier :rotfl:
I will try and update daily as to my efforts

Good luck with all that - was some list:D. Could you not get your eyebrows waxed/shaped while you're at the beauticians? usually quite cheap and makes them easier to keep on top of...

:T :think: :whistle: :silenced:

Good luck BB. I'm on the way with getting the finances sorted, March will be the start of my body month too however I fear it might overflow into April, May, June, July....

Yep, my problems won't be solved within a month, but if I can manage most of this list I will be on my way and hopefully some of my clothes will feel a bit looser, some might even do up again , my nails should look presentable, my hair should be manageable again, and generally everything should be a bit more positive

it's over in a flash, honest! not like the ouchy other areas:D...

I've been doing the exercise and diet and generally just making more of an effort and I feel better for it - even if noone else notices:D:o.
