- use up random toiletries around the house
- try and remember to update my DFW diary
- housework/cleaning etc. to keep my mind off crappy thing

Milly thats fab news, £1k towards all your books etc, what a lovely gift!!:j

Dawn - oh my goodness what a week, hope it all settles down over the next few days!


Thank you for the good wishes yesterday re my stepson, we are no further forward, other than his stepfather (who we have always got on ok with) called my DH & told him to stay out of it! :mad: Not happy with that.

DD is a lot better, but not well enough to go to special brownie celebration thing this afternoon, its from 12.30-9.00 & is an hour away on a coach, she's just not up to it, so is rather sulky at the moment, especially because younger DD is still going (she's a rainbow).

Today:

- Check online banking
- Quidco clicks
- Shopping at Mr T with list and lots of lovely MOCs
- Tidy house
- Tidy garden
- Cut grass
- Hoover lounge
- Clean conservatory floor
- Entertain sulky DD

Have a lovely day everyone xxxxx

Mogchops & Dawn - what a week for you both - huge hugs to you

Milly - brilliant news about hte money what a nice thing to do for you I know its silly but I am never normally up earlier than you early birds and I have always wanted to do it

Waves to everyone, looks like everyone is being pretty productive today - just been into town with DD and new lodger to show her the shops etc - town busy but not much in the charity shops - can't win them all

Mymess - distract yourself today and do something nice just for you - if its any help (?) my ex and evil skinny new wife are the exactly same and the phrase we use in this house is 'sometimes daddy is a bit silly' - your lovely DS will see through his dad's silly comments. - infact my DS actually said last time he was home at his dads 'Dad why are you bluddy horrid about Mum she's never nasty about you' that shut him up DS was waiting for a row for swearing but all his Dad said was I guess you are right!

CG getting paid £10 a day to feed guinea piggies - OMG!!!!!!

PS Catmiaow - the one thing I do miss about being near shops (no fast food chain places here) is Dominoes Pizza - very jealous here enjoy......

my_mess

Thanks fay - but the ex is not his dad (brought him up since he was 7 though) - and, at almost 15, DS has a real dislike of me anyway so I can just imagine the conversation ..........

Jeez - this is doing my head in - I need to get away.

Pips_Mum

Helloooooooooooo:hello:

Hangs head in shame as its been ages since I was here last (piggy flu, needing new boilers, back at work, you know those little setbacks we have)

Hope everyone is happy and helthy and hugs if you are not x x x

Today I will:

• Eat leftovers I brought home from Friends Big Bro Party
• Pick car up from friends house as another friend gave me a lift home last night so no taxi money :T
• NSD
• Batch cook veggie Lasagnes for next week and for freezer
• Empty coins from purse into pot
• Unpack and sort through bag of hand me downs for Pip we were given last night.
• Write letter to estate agents to remove flat from sale as friends are going to rent it :T
• Scratcheees, another thing I have neglected recently

All for now, will pop by again soon x x x
