Money_saving_Diva_2

Morning ladies!

Fedupandskint - big big hugs to you honey and personally if your OH is mad enough to play around on you then he isn't the one for you and maybe it's time you took control and ended it, so you can be free to carry on your life and meet the person you ARE meant to be with. You seem like such a nice person and deserve better. I hope you don't mind me commenting..
MOAM - I really feel for you. I can see how much you love and adore your son. I always wanted children but after a horrid miscarriage in my twenties I was told I never could, so I understand the regrets and the dreams of what might have been.

Ok so yesterday apart from my lists I also potted on and planted out lots of lavender babies. This does however mean that indoor things were just not even attempted!

So, my list for today is as follows -
Feed the cat at least twice
Brush the cat
Sort and delete 10 emails
reply to emails
Clean bathroom sink
Spray bleach on the bottoms of the shower curtains

Extras
[STRIKE]
Put breadmaker on
put washing in WM and switch on
[/STRIKE]fill up bookcases with books from bedroom and bathroom

Make a Get Well Soon card - sooo not inspired
Make a new baby card - ditto
Post on gardening Forum
Paint my nails and do nail art

I hope you all have a successful day flying. to all who need them.

Morning All, :hello:
I'm in mean mummy mode, so I've told them they can stay in teir rooms and read..... for crying out loud, you'd think I'd told them to stand on one leg in the snow for 5 hours!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

So, I'm going to put my coffee on the brew, and then I'm back up to bed myself.
We're off to my Dad's for lunch today. I'm going to take a belated birthday pressy too.

Toots we're all good thanks, children are well, the usual trials and tribulations! DH is behaving himself too so all's great really. I just feel like I need to blitz the house, after I went with a friend to see an example of her builders work. This woman's house was immaculate, and large! I came home feeling very depressed about my little hovel! I think I need to take my own advice and list everything that I want to do here, and tackle it a bit at a time. Hope you're ok lady-lady. (((hugs)))

See you laters..... :wave:

Morning folks

Sorry I missed out on last night, but I kinda got busy ;) and the radio with the footie results was not needed.!! :rotfl:

Greenbee count me in on the trip to Pigpen's / Triker's ....

Shoes I would love them but cannot afford them!! so I'll just look at the pic.

Catching up on James Bond as OH set the machine before we got busy...

Folded washing sorted out, socks paired, just going to iron in a bit.

Hugs and have a good day

Morning All

It's been a busy couple of days as it was DS's birthday on Friday. Yesterday I wrapped a pile of Christams presents so they could go up the loft out of the way. We also went to Toys'r'us as DS wanted to spend his birthday money!

We're out from about 10.30 but I need to do a few jobs before then really.

Have a good day all and Froddy can I share your tent? I like pink and purple!

Hugs

Jue

Also just decluttered the immediate are next to my bed and remove the 5 large stacks of books and moved them elsewhere in the room for sorting tomorrow. Trouble is all bookshelves are groaning.

Well you know what you can do about that... organise a cardboard box by each bookshelf, and once a day try to locate one book in that shelf that you know you won't read again and [STRIKE]bung it[/STRIKE] put it carefully in the box. You'll have to decide what to do with the full boxes... 1. put in the attic because you can't bear to part with them and they make great insulation 2. sell on ebay/amazon/green metropolis 3. charity shop

You have to do this every so often... the only other option is to keep extending the house to make room for the millions of books that are published each year. I hate doing it, but I also hate falling over piles of books.

Whatabout an Ooze of Flyladies.:rotfl:

That sounds about right for those of us who haven't done much flying recently!

Breakfast has been made and a I'm slowly eating it, but I forgot to defrost any fruit last night, so I'm eating yogurt, muesli and frozen raspberries! There's a load of washing on (bedding etc) and once that's on the line I'll head off to the farmers market. I might see whether I can fill a couple of garden bags before then, so that I can stop off at the tip on the way there.

Well it's a new day and a new mood.

Thanks for all the wise words from everyone, isn't it strange how everyone can see what to do from afar but you can't always see it yourself.

As I sit here with a slightly groggy alcohol induced head after 3 glasses of wine I will pick myself up and not slump into a dwelling sludge of a mood.

Will keep myself busy.
WM on
Really must make the ketchup today before it is too late for the tomatoes

Catch you all later on

En mass fly ladies = coven?/deluge?/army?

Imagine what that night out would be like! My head aches just thinking about it! Better have a week off drinking now don't like this hungover feeling

Fedup - I'm currently reading this book, which you might find interesting. And it was only £2.99 in Borders... which is why I got it, as I needed something to read and it looked vaguely interesting. It is, and it's a relatively easy read, but not the escapist rubbish I'd been planning on getting!

Glass of wine anyone? A glass of red for me tonight, anyone else fancy a free glass

SCD on accompanied by vino - I am on my own now and forever. Here on my own again. Still think OH is upto something as he hasn't been in touch at all this week or weekend. Probably with someone. Makes me feel rubbish and lonely. Why doesn't he want me anymore?

Just spend all my spare time cleaning now to keep busy. Haven't been out again this weekend just like last weekend. This is how my life is now and feels how it is going to be forever

Just so you know - my sister's first husband was a loser - she eventually saw the light and evicted him. Life was tough for a bit but she remarried last month - and she's found a real gem - he makes her so happy.

Our favourite saying at Uni was As God made 'em so he matched 'em. You deserve better! Put you at the top of your priority list!:A
