OberonSH's DFW Diary Thread - 1 Woman, 1 Toddler & A Whole Lotta Debt!

MrsTinks

Bob - due mid may - one week after our wedding anniversary to be exact :rotfl: just hope Bean isn't early I'd really perfer if it doesn't arrive on my wedding anniversary or a day either side or the next 21 years I'll be having to celebrate my wedding anniversary when it "fits" in LOL

Obi - yes Mr T has banned all rare steaks and anything vaguely interesting Thankfully (?) I've been so ill with morning/noon/night sickness that I haven't fancied anything interesting either so not a great loss to me

Went to bonfire and fireworks last night which was damp but still pretty - few of the "big" ones wouldn't light up which was a shame but it WAS hoofing it down with water...

I'd put you onto ginger biscuits - only thing that got me through the sickness I had with DD, but I also ended up 3 sizes bigger. So use sensibly.

It was chucking it down here as well. Didn't put the chavs off from letting them off in the street though. Little menaces.

Have shot off an email to the lawyer we've had a consultation with, had a few questions, so hopefully will get them resolved today. The main question being what constitutes 'a business' in the States. We want to set up over there bringing some lovely stuff back here, but obviously without visa we can't run it ourselves. We're not at the point of employing someone over there, so can we get away with an office in a business centre and a mail forward service? Our suppliers in the States won't deal with us until we have an address int eh US, and we've found a company to bring it across, so just need to know if this qualifies. Of curse, if there's any Bar-approved Attorneys out there that kno the answer, feel free to put me out my misery!

On the money front, things are going well. We're Amazoning and Ebidding like its going out of fashion - we want to pay off hismum's catalogue for her, as a lot of it is stuff she got for the kids. Our own debts are at that comfortably ticking over stage, and there's no interest on any of them, so I'm not going to worry about overpaying at the moment. I am trying to find out about getting my charges back from Rossendales - they shoved £200 on the the one I'm paying off for the pleasure of ONE visit. Apparently they went to the wrong address several times, but still charged me for it. PLus a 'van fee' when I'd been saying all along - prove this is mine and I'll pay it. Which I am. So int he light of the latest fiasco I think I'll give it a shot. That will wipe off that one.

Christmas is getting sorted - making a lot of the presents this year. Home made toffee, truffles etc, and have turned out all my freebies gleaned from the Freebie board into little hampers for other people. The kids have been got for, just got to work out what to get for DH.

So I'm off to check my Ebid auctions, try to work out why Actinic is not doing what I want it to do, and take DD to a kids party later on. Hopefully her brother will not barf all over the place, he's got a dicky tummy at the moment.

Tip for today - when vaccuming, don't forget to do the back of the sofa and the chairs. Run a barely damp cloth over them and you'll be amazed/disgusted at what comes off. Turn the cushions every few months as well.

Ginger biscuits are having no effect - I ended up in hospital for 2 days on a drip at around 6 weeks after getting dehydrated and they stuck me on cyclizine to control the vomiting which it has - still throw up and get bad nausea but it's managable... ish. I'd hate to think what I'd be like without the cyclizine though!!
Guess I should go get dressed and heave the hubby out of bed - he's still sleeping as he's jetlagged from returning from Canada yesterday morning bless him...

MAYBE I'll even manage to stick some junk on ebid/ebay depending on my mood lol

oohhh, brings back memories of my DD - I too ended up in hospital on a drip.
Tip for today: Being passed out on the loo is SO not a good look .

I survived on beef hula hops - can't look at them now :rolleyes:

MrsTinks

LOL just had a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich - not ideal but had to eat something...
DH has been working since I woke him up bless him - major outage on one of his clients sites and it's all going bums up at the moment so he's working hard. Told him to get it done today because tomorrow morning there will be NO excuses for not making it to our ultra sound appointment in the morning - I would actually consider divorcing him if he didn't make it...

Poor Mrs T, i had that with both of my girls and was never sick at all with DS, i was also on a drip..Funny as i craved chicken and sweetcorn pizza...Nowt worked with me so just have to bear up and see how it goes.

Way to go Obi, i reckon nothing phases you and you will be wasted abroad girl..stay here and set up a website called kick Mackensie Hall's butts...reckon the t shirts would go down a bomb!

MrsTinks

LOL thanks Bob...
Just had a bowl of red lentil soup (red lentil, carrot, tomato and onion with some stock - it's rather yummy) so hoping that will settle it all down a bit for tonight - scan is 9am tomorrow so it's an early start to miss the traffic and find a parking space... Just hope I don't get too sick on the way :eek:
I can't wait for the sickness to be over I really really can't... today has been another horrible day felt really bad all day

boredofbeingathome

You'll be fine honest..i was preggers years ago, so i would think they can suggest allsorts nowadays and healthfood shops very good too. Other than that it was Cadbury's fruit and nut for me(almost forgot about that)...may explain a few things:rolleyes: :rotfl:

Good luck with scan tomorrow...any pics?:D

MrsTinks

LOL Well I have 100 requests for scan pics so yeah - I'll scan any when I get home and put them online lol
