Hi BB, hope DS is feeling better, sorry to hear he has been unwell. I can't believe you are contemplating writing you Christmas cards, that is so organised.

Mum didn't come round in the end, dad has been driving her mad today so I haven't been to WW, have been doing some hama beads with ds and reading stories snuggled on the sofa

A common recurring theme coming up ... no maintenance money from ex, (also referred to as uubb ... utterly useless biological babysitter ), yet this month and no phone call to see how ds is. He phoned on monday when he was asleep, and while on the phone ds woke up and was sick, but he hasn't phoned since to see how he is since then :rolleyes: :mad: :mad: Utterly pathetic

No money spent for the second day running, well I did order an xmas present for ds teachers but that comes out of the xmas present fund budget. He has 2 teachers so rather than buying separate gifts I got them one of those charity gifts (a years supply of school supplies for a child somewhere in Africa I think). It was £9.50 and the card will be for the teachers and t.a.'s

word of warning...I once wrote my xmas cards in october...by the time it came to give them out 2 couples had split up and one person had died........I felt like I had jinxed them xx

Your post made me laugh Louby which is naughty, sorry, but I couldn't help it I didn't manage to find the time to do them after all, am fairly sure I'll do my usual routine and forget about them, write them at the last minute and then not get round to delivering / posting them and chuck them all in the recycling, promising to do better next year :rolleyes:

I laughed too, louby But I have to say there is NO danger of me being organised enough to do Christmas cards early!

benben, I like mooching indoors too....probably on account of not being able to afford to go out for the last 10 years :rolleyes:

I hope DS is better tonight.

benbenandme

Still no maintenance or phone call to see how ds is .... :mad: :mad:
Today has been a nsd again :j Nothing spectacular happened at work today, all is ticking along tickety-boo! Mum made a roast for us for dinner tonight which was lovely, ds is just playing and is about to go to bed. Nothing much planned for tonight except for a nice warm bath and maybe an early night

LOUBY28

ha I laugh too when I think back to it.....not sure what happened to me that year,....I have never been that organised and probabley never shall again.

Glad you ds is getting better x

benbenandme

Morning, £1 and 10p on the scratchcards today Nothing unexpected in the banking, nearly the weekend already, has been a very short week for me this week

Glad DS is feeling better, hope the maintenance money shows up:rolleyes:.

benbenandme

Yay its the weekend :j :j 50p spend today at breaktime, but otherwise another cheap day! Last night I ordered myself a new pair of boots online (£45), they won't be here for a couple of weeks, but I'm dead excited

Still no maintenance, waiting to see if he can be bothered to call his son tonight :rolleyes:

Nothing really planned for this weekend, I need to do food shopping but may spend time doing crafty type stuff with ds indoors if the weathers rubbish, or maybe a walk in the forest if its dry
