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

Other names include 'Boil on The Butt of the Planet', 'Mr Tosswad' and 'The Guy I Once Had the Misfortune to Marry, Now I Hope Important Parts Rot Off'. Don;t know if you can tell, but I really don't like my ex husband. I reckon he'll be exactly where he was when he left me - in a YMCA in the !!! end of the world, dating a prostitute and not leaving his room except to get fresh supplies of 9p noodles. And to think I worry I don't have enough of a life.....

I would get the kids involved, get them to have their own clearout for Ebay fodder. If they're old enough you can get them taking the pictures, doing the packing etc. I really would download Turbo Lister, if you're doing a lot of items it makes life a lot easier.

I've never seen a guy's bottle opener rot off before. Does sound really painfull though.

OberonSH

Bottle opener will be the last of his concerns if he dares set foot in the same county as me.....anyways, dating a 40 year old prossie with teeth like tombstones and skin like a crocodile handbag means the likelihood of something going green and dropping of is pretty good....

Hey Webby, good to hear from you girl. Book seems to have Morphed into more of a life laundry type thing, but it's coming on. Signed copies to all once complete, and anyone who doesn't flog it on Ebay and put the money towards the debts will be deemed 'not a proper DFW'. So the fam think you're mental. Join the club. Me and my £2 coins....now that's a scary relationship.

Hope y'all had a cheap day today. I spent £3.99 on a knitting mag, as it had the perfect jumper pattern for OH, and a cute knitted witch that DD wanted adding to Mummy's list. Apart from that not bad. DD did a disappearing trick in the POst Office, and nearly caused a riot as I tore the place apart - she was hiding in the photo booth - it's weird; you lose a child and suddenly everyone within 5 foot is a pedo with pockets full of lollipops.

But still not doing too bad - waiting for closing balances from the shop, so will probablyhave a heart attack on the mat when they hit. Visit from an old rep who was in the area wanting to know if I was still on the planet, but fairly quiet on the money front. Enjoying it before the whole moving house, settling into repayments and deciding on a colour for my front room experience.

Was to him, you'd think he was hung like a !!!!!! star the way he went on. Didn't have the heart to tell him I'd seen more interesting things floating in the Freshney....

Well chicks, been another cheap day, thanks to me not leaving the house!! Got a load of stuff listed on Ebay, plus sold some more stuff on Amazon (hy anyone wants old sheet music for metallica ia beyond me, but as long as it'ss elling, I'm happy). DD decided she didn;t ant any of her tea tonight, so not a problem, it gos in the freezer. Waste not etc. Plus I am not having a fussy child eater. OH is fussy enough for them both.

Feeling pretty good, concentrating on getting the deposit for the new place togeher whilst aiting for the up to date balances on the debt, then once we move we can really make a start on the balance. Reckon by my calculations it'll take about 33 months to pay it all off - luckily none of it is accruing interest.

Finished off Ash's teeny weeny cardigan, using a new bamboo yarn, lovely, very eco friendly but the devil itsself to knit with - think several separate strands of sewing cotton twisted together. All the knitters are looking knowinly, everyone else is just looking puzzled. Plus I've had to alter the sizing to make it fit a newborn and it's taken some mucking with. Just got the hang of neat sewing up, but the shoulders have defeated me - looking a bit lumpy. So now keping an eye on ebay for some nice black yarn to do my best mate a knitted skirt for Xmas - and before you chortle it;s a very sexy Dita Von Teese esque number, and a lot nicer than a knitted skirt sounds. I sold all my decent stuff a while ago, plus I want something that doesn't look like wool, if you know what I mean. I'm not spending ages on something to have her wrap her butt in something that makes her look foolish.

OH has got over the touch of depression that finding out about his cut hours put him into - he's seriously looking into starting his own store with a couple of other employees - running the numbers at the moment to see if it's going to be viable. Keeps him busy.

So a nice cheap day, planning on a sauage casserole tomorrow to use up some sausages, plus I love my slow cooker - could do with getting a bigger one really, I put stuff in, I go away, I come back and I have made a lovely meal with absolutely no effort. Although the other day I actually caught myself thinking 'I could really do with a nice pinny' after being splattered with Nigella's cupcake dough thanks to an overenthusiastic daughter. I had to go and sit in a dark room repeating 'I am not my grandma, I am not my grandma' ntil the feeling went away. Still, if I can waltz around the house making fabulous meals and looking like some cross between Nigella & Dita I will be a happy lady. Right now I'll settle for waddling round the house looking cross between a goodyear balloon and a bag lady.

Todays tip, my chicks, is to rope the kids into having a good clearout. The C word is almost upon us, and tis the time to be getting unwanted stuff from last year on Ebay to fund the whole rum sauce laced affair. Pus you'll need the room for all those bath sets, novelty slippers and flashing earrings.

Crumbs, she goes away for ages, then she comes back & posts loads

Only joking Obi, its great to read your posts again - you make me laugh, which can be a problem when sneaking onto DFW in work!

looking like some cross between Nigella & Dita To see my DF drooling when Nigella is on, I think she already is a cross between the two of them! How she can cook the way she does wearing those cashmere sweaters I don't know - but i wish she wouldn't on prime time TV! Anyone know how to get grown-man's dribble out of a sofa?! :rolleyes:

OberonSH

What Can I say, once I sit at my pooter, it's easier to keep typing than to get up, thanks to the bump. Getting off the sofa is like watching someone trying to turn a turtle the right way. OH thinks it's hilarious. Keeps trying to get me to sit in a beanbag - that's just cruel.

I'm liking Nigellas new series, it's actually really good. OH doesn't like her - thinks she ponces about and fancies herself. Only cure for grown man dribble is to tell him she's wearing magic knickers under that getup, and that you read she's got varicose veins from all that swanning. Nice to see a woman who isn't afraid to stuff her face though.

Obi's OH must be the only man on the planet not drooling over Nigella. I think though she hit her peak last series eating out of the fridge in her red velour dressing gown. Sad to see grown men cry .

Ooooooohhhh, I'm Obi's thought for the week!!!!
can't wait for the royalty cheques!!!! Cheers Obi!!! xx
