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

Cheers Bob - means a lot. I was worried it looked like a pile of donkey-flop, I sell teabags, not design websites! I'm already doing a bit of a rework to polish the edges. The prices are based on the 'worst case senario' price from our supplier, so am usually on the hunt. I've been promised one of those doody web phone browsy raspberry phone things by a consumer panel, if that arrives I'll be happily using it to check prices when I'm out and about.

Mrs T - notice the use of the words 'can't overpay AS MUCH'. You're already overpaying, and like you say, you need the car, so on balance it's a good deal. I wouldn't beat yourself up.

How is the baby thing hunt going? I'm in the process of sorting out the baby clothes I have from Ash, there's some lovely bits that he has never worn (mainly unisex as I didn't trust the doctors 'diagnosis', so bob me a PM with your addy and I'll send them across.

And AHHHHHHHHH @ Bean.

That's a lovely clear picture - did Mr T sob his wee heart out?

MrsTinks

Nope Mr T didn't sob at all... think it's still sinking in slowly to be honest...
And you're right... I should stop beating myself up... it's just difficult when I have been working so hard for the last few years to reduce our debt and suddenly I've ADDED to it? YIKES!
I'll drop you a PM later you lovely person you
And assuming you mean a Blackberry - they're not as much fun as you might think unless it's the brand new touch screen one DH and I have one each from work - I have an older model, he has a newer one but not the touch screen one and they become the bane of your life!

OberonSH

No, don't like the look of the blackberry/raspberry/misc fruit phone.

Teeny weeny buttons + fingers like sausages = lots of texts that read 'DSAWFW wefkjewf QWDKJwkjw fkjwefw 3pm.'

It's apparently some new phone Microsoft are trialling. Will be very useful for trawling car boots are seeing what stuff's fetching on Ebid lololol. Still not here, was quite excited as I was looking at getting one anyway. Looking on Ebid, nothing there, and not paying £40 a month contract to have one free. Quite a few on Ebay though... Liking the look of the XDAs.

MrsTinks

Used to have the XDA exec - was quite cool - used it a lot when I used to run a couple of sites and needed immediate access...

OliveOyl_2

I can now drool at the baby scan pic.


I have a knitting pattern for baby Ugg boots. From a web-site that Obe recommended -Knitty. But I'm also subscribed to Ravelry now.

OberonSH

Honestly, what you lot like! I'm still around, only get to come on Wed-Fri now, little man's at home the rest of the time. Now he's crawling you daresn't take your eyes off him.

Hows you Bob?

MrsT - still waiting on that addy to send some stuff across. I love Knitty. I'm now working on some socks in pure silk, trying short rows for the first time ever. Mixed results so far.... (subtitle why do I suck so badly at them?)

We must see pics of baby Uggs, Olive!!

MrsTinks

Sorry sorry - i am crap lol
Been having fun with morning sickness still - and now work are getting difficult about me working from home - alledged because they are concerned that they have a duty of care (HA!) and me working from home has health and safety implications... odd as it would appear this rule only applies to me and infact not my boss who works from home as much/more due to illness... Hmmm
So had meeting yesterday where I decided to not land her in it yet as so far they have contacted me and encouraged me to work whilst ill (signed off by doctor) which is naughty... But as I just got the "minutes" of the meeting I have made some comments and raised some points that Dh needs to look at when he gets home before I send them. I might also call Acas tomorrow before sending the mail... Me thinks that they are being very naughty at the moment basically imposing new rules on me without reason and doing it singularly because I am pregnant. So it's all fun!

Baby T is fine as far as I am aware! Still making me ill which I am taking as a good sign! Still on drugs to control the nausea... boo hiss

So we're stressed but alive and generally ok I guess...
