    MrsChaos (((hugs))) and :eek::eek: for the phone bill - thats it he's getting cut off!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: thats not good though angel - what about getting him to ebay some of his stuff that he no longer uses to repay you? Hope MiL recovers well from her wee op and notices a difference soon. Yes a list is def required for this week- what fun for you and I am sure the boys will enjoy it too.

    Thanks, toots. He'll definitely have to pay me the extra money back. 24 weeks without pocket money, or additional cash payments to reduce the lump sum. Also, I'm taking a leaf out of Hex's book. We'll check his credit every other day or so on the website, because if it happens again, he can go on PAYG. I'll pay him for Saturday night baby sitting and he can buy the top-ups with his own money. At the moment, the contract is in exchange for unlimited babysitting on Saturday nights. It would cost me more in sitting fees normally.

    Good night, all.

    Morning ladies!

    Fedup - hope you have a better day today hon.
    Valli and Toots - Ohh thank you girls for the explanation, I love stuff like that! Of course, now I know, I will become probably obsessed with noticing them..giggle.gif Oh my goodness, talking of which.. my thanks number is 23,454 which means with two more 'thanks' I will be alllll consecutive!! woohoo1.gif
    Jinky - hugs.gif for you babes.
    Gunsandbanjos - Hope your little one starts to feel better soon. Sending lots of healing love and light your way.
    Rosepink - the things that trigger off migraines can vary of course but cheese, chocolate, alcohol and caffeine come right at the top of the list. The latter two cause dehydration which can trigger off the headache, so keep sipping water or water with fruit juice in it can help. I grew up with my mother suffering from them regularly as does my poor OH now, though a lot less often now he has given up all coffee and pepsi.
    LadyL - Any time you see me, just say hi, would love to chat. Sometimes I can't get messenger to log in so I get Tris to ring me and I come here to post or browse while talking to him, so again, if you are around the site and see my 'light' on, feel free to pm.

    I am not posting a list for today as it's Sunday and all I want to do is clear the dining table and help my OH organise the lounge ready for the care review on Monday. And maybe work on my cards.

    Hope you all have a great Sunday and take some time to be lovely to yourselves.

    warm gentle HShuggies.gifto all who need or want them.

    Morning all

    Just watched an amazingly colourful sunrise from the kitchen window while the dog howls at the garden gate (it's That time!). Not sure what I'm going to do today, but I suspect it'll involve some washing and will definitely involve cooking roast - DS and DiL are coming over to partake.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Triker have a wonderful holiday x

    Plans for today are to go to the tip, not an excuse but I couldn't bare to go with only half a car full yesterday, so have been looking for extra bits to fill it up, so, going with it all today. Going to see GD, then take DD1 to work.

    Need to load the DW and S&S the kitchen, go buy some cat food (she's such a little hog, gone through 12 pouches in 3 days, need to buy dried food too, she can't go past her bowl without meowing and looking forlorn :rolleyes: def overfed so will reign it in a bit. I did wonder if the kitten food just wasn't filling her :confused: last time I had a cat there was no such thing as kitten food just cat food.

    Shoes, until recently I wasn't really a shoe person, but lately I've been coveting lots, helps that I finally sorted my very painful feet out so can pretty much wear anything now, I'm starting to build a collection up now, I want more but I don't need more in truth.

    1 pair trainers (worn twice)
    1 pair stilettos (never worn yet but haven't been anywhere to really wear them) but I stroke them often.
    1 pair work shoes
    1 pair work winter boots
    2 pairs slippers (wear one pair when the other one's in the wash)

    It's so cold today brrrrrrr.....off to make another cuppa and to potter a bit.
