    Morning all :wave:

    Whooo, wind's picked up a bit out there :rolleyes:

    Been waiting for the last hour or two for the bad weather to die down as it's DS's 7th birthday today and we're off to my mums for another onslaught of presents :D I think today will have to be renamed BEN 10 DAY, as everything he's got so far is Ben 10 orientated!

    I'm then off to do a mystery shop in town which I really don't want to do as it's an indepth one for a large department store, involves assessing and talking to staff in womenswear, the changing rooms, the xmas shop, the cafe and menswear :eek: usually takes me about 1.5 hours, but maybe I'll buy summat nice to treat myself as well ;)

    Anyway, off to separate the two littlest kids, DD2 wants to play with all of DS's new birthday toys and he's getting angry :eek:

    Chow now :D

    xx

    and now you've done a month! that's brilliant.....hope you feel good.

    Evening all, glad to here that all is mostly well here.
    I am feeling quite ill - a bad cold and am starting a fever so I hope itwon't get too bad. Am going out tonight for the first time in ages so I am determined to have a nice night but without alcohol I think (the stuff I'm taking for the cold probably wouldn't mix well) and someone has to drive home.
    Kind of wish I was staying in but am taping Strictly for tomorrow!
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Poor you budgie - be careful and hope the pain dissolves soon

    As for me, a very emotional day as I told ex I couldn't see him again as it was too painful for me. Feeling number than ever before now. Had to be done for me as it causes me the most pain when I see him, completely different to a bereavement however equally as painful.

    Off to do some ironing or something now to do something
