    Today I have been with OH while he spent an excruitiating amount of money on a suit and shoes for my sis's wedding... He is doing the service and the vows!!! It was the rehearsal today.... if you ignore all the family tension and conflict from all the controllers meeting together it went well LOL. :rotfl:We topped it off with a chinese takeaway! Just us 4 despite parental pressure to come back... just said no!

    Morning everyone. Sorry I wasn't online much yesterday I had my nieces over for a sleepover so we had a girlie night on the sofa and then an early night :o)

    Hows everyone today?

    I am back on the MSE wagon from tomorrow and need to bring some extra pennies in to put in my savings so any suggestions are welcome.

    My aim for next week is a pack lunch everyday and as many NSD as possible :D

  • Helloooooooo

    I am just fannying around before going to my friend's little boy's birthday party. Have just cranked up the breadmaker and am about to grind some coffee to have with some leftover double cream from making dauphinois potatoes last night.

    Oh what a fat weekend :D YUM.

    I might even have some chocolate too :D:D

  • Hi We are off to the Fete on the Park behind our house about 11.15 so the kids can go on the bouncy castle and some of the other rides and maybe buy some cakes and see what else is there. Going to watch the Dog Agility display (think that is what its called).

    Doodledoo - can you Ebay, I have 181 listings on Ebay so far, have 12 more to upload later and will do lots more later in the day. I do the 'Ebay/Ebid 10 a day challenge', lots of motivation there at the moment, we all update at the end of the day with how many listings we have done.

    Grrr thats sounds lovely PAID but I'm trying to be good so I've done my Davina DVD and just scoffed a lovely pink grapefruit :eek: Congrats on the job :beer:

    Thanks to Doodles fab suggestion in her diary I made pack up for lunch everyday this week. Didn't get tempted then to buy choccie or crisps. Going for the same next week. Its amazing how much money it saves because popping to shop for sandwich always leads to crisps / drink / paper / magazine :rotfl:

    Hope you enjoy lazing CAFC and Snow White - although you both deserve it after hard work at work / batch cooking :T

    Soup sounds yummy Starnac might steal that idea without the bread unfortunately! TMD I might be collapsed on sofa watching pretty woman this pm as I probably wont be able to walk :D

    What does your DD like to watch on CBeebies? DD3 loves Something Special and In the Night Garden. My other two like CITV and love Horrid Henry.

    They're DD's favourite too. She knows quite a bit of Makaton now thanks to Justin. i personally can't stand him and don't get me started on mr tumble :mad: the fimbles is also a hit so is mr maker even though she's too young to actually make anything (she's 2 in oct)

  • Hi Starnac, sorry your day is not going well, I don't feel good either, had a headache for two days now, have a doctors appointment tomorrow as I get headaches at the same time of the month.

    I've got 62 items finishing on Ebay tonight got bids on 15 items not looking forward to wrapping everything up, I have a few to do now but can't be bothered at the moment will wait for OH to come in from work about 2.30 and do some before picking up DD1 from school.
