My NSD didn't last long - DD2 needs all of her Brownie/Guide badges sewn onto her Guide blanket for camp next weekend. I only had black cotton with didn't look nice on the blue-edged badges, so I nipped out and bought lots of cotton and more needles. I've sewn on 15 badges - 22 to go:rotfl: Not now though, my fingers hurt!!

:rotfl::rotfl: Funnily enough, no!!!
I finished it eventually, hours that took, but what a good job I've done;)

Dinner was fab, it's a lovely meal. Sat with the laptop now, will do girls some pud soon then going to watch Come Dine with me at 8 and bed at 9. DD1's off to the ex in-laws for the day tomorrow, she's back at school on Wed. I have some ironing I really should do tonight but am shattered:o Probably just get a school shirt for DD2 ironed and do the rest another day:p

ooooh, I have 9 or 10 items on ebay finishing tonight. All but one have watchers and 5 have bids....exciting!!!

guess the sewing badge will be the next one she does.
Ironing is never something one should do especially when you're tired. there's always something more pressing than the iron.

Nothing much going on here....DD2 is off on Guide camp tomorrow and DD1's with her dad until Sunday.
Asda shopping is coming on Sunday - it should last us for 2 weeks, I've ordered about £100 worth:eek: But stocking up on drinks, toilet rolls, beer;) - should only need bread, milk and fruit for a while after this lot.

I have a sick note for next week recommending I work part-time...makes it easier if the doctor recommends it, rather than me having to go and ask:p

My essay is coming on - I've done 3100 words, need 4000, but can go 10% over or under so i can hand it in at 3600 words really;) Will hopefully get it finished tomorrow. Taking DD2 to camp for 10, then have until Sun eve to myself.

Money....I went and treated DD2 and I to a takeaway tonight seeing as DD1 was out;) But....they sent (and charged me for ) 2 portions of chips, only wanted 1, also my chicken kebab came as just chicken in a pitta:( I said no sauce, but kind of assumed salad would be in it - what a waste of £13. Oh well.....

I need to pay my friend £20 for DD2's trip in a limo on the last day of term(last day of primary, ahhh), so will get that out of the bank tomorrow. DD1 and I are going to nip into town on Monday - I need to get my sister a birhtday pressie for next week. Not much, she's already having some goodies from my Body Shop stash:)

Time to check we have all of DD2's camp stuff ready and get an early night:D

Hey Milly

I hope you enjoy your weekend!!

Booo to the takeaway!!!!!

:T well done on the essay!! Must feel good to have done the bulk of it!!!!!!

Onwards with the essay today:T
Just got back from dropping DD2 at Guide camp...aaah bless her, I'll miss her this weekend:o Looked so little, her and her friend, with all the big guides! She's 10 though, will have a fab time, been looking forward to it for months - just hope it stays reasonably dry for them!!

I've put a washing on - hoping it will get out on the line:) Quickly hoovered the lounge and kitchen/diner - can't relax if the floor's yukky. Got black tiles in the kitchen and they show every single speck - really not good!

I've given my friend the £20 for the end of school limo, and took out £180 to pay off dd2's Isle of Wight trip, that'll be it paid then! £100 was from my clubs account and £80 from savings. Ex has paid £100 in total so far of their trips - his half being £343, so he still has a long way to go....arghhhh!!

Might get started on the essay soon, then I can do what I want. This last bit's the hardest as I've written all that I'd planned...just need more words to fill the word count. Am writing about another theorist but haven't done a huge amount of reading. Want to get more stuff on ebay this weekend too - have taken pics of some and still have ahuge bag sitting in the lounge to sort through...a lot of it might be winging it's way to the jumble:p
