Fedup, if you're adding whitener to the cocoa it doesn't matter

Hope Miss Hoodie can sort out her problems, I was bullied in school and it was not nice at all. The school were worse than useless too Having a Governor Mum could be great for her.

Our upstairs neighbour is a barstool. He is sawing wood and moving furniture complete with loud music - he only ever starts this after the baby's gone to bed because he knows it peeves and inconveniences us

Watching x factor and pigging out tonight (not good when your on slimming world)

Sorry to hear bullying going on- it makes me so angry, I was bullied as a teenager- and it was awful, my parents didn't know and I never told the school, I was lucky as it was spotted by an older boy in the school who got it sorted :-) looking back though has def made me stronger. One of my biggest fears is that it will happen to my 3 girls- I really hope it gets sorted quickly, big hugs x

Wow some good shopping from people today- I really must get back on track, but once I sit down in eve find it really hard to get motivated....

I love lists, couldn't shop (or do anything really) without them!

The German market was like a scrum, but we survived. LOL. Lots to see and buy but came back empty handed. My sister asked to come too, and everything DD's looked at, she bought them for their stocking fillers - they loved it.

Have asked OH if he can get the trimmings and tree out of the shed tomorrow, so guess what we're doing?

junior_j

We don't put our tree up till around 2 weeks before xmas doesn't help with all the cats and 2 dogs we have , guess where the cats like sitting in December.. lol xx

My parent's cats use to climb the tree too but they're both a bit too old for that now. They still have a bat at the baubles near the bottom though

I'm off to Tesco tomorrow to get lots of chutney ingredients. I'm making my Dad a big hamper of homemade chutneys as I know he'll love them and will definitely appreciate all the effort. I've already made a simple apple chutney and the Christmas chutney too. I'm hoping to make pear & apricot, spiced courgette and apricot & ginger next. I can't wait to get started but I think I'll have to wait a bit as it's my son's birthday next week and I don't want the house stinking of vinegar when we have lots of visitors!

I am so un motivated today , refusing to go the shops to spend money until Tuesday! My shopping day I have had planned for the past 2 weeks lol.

How ever I wanted to totally move and clean my room yet I went up there earlier to do it and found myself laid on the bed listening to music video's and reading my book.. almost like sorting my room out!

So will have to give myself a kick up the backside and get up there in the next hour or I will totally lose all positive motivation lol. I hate Sunday's they are too close to Monday mornings , any one agree?!

I also need to write my list of "shops" and "what to buy" also my college lecturer sent me some work with no instructions on (I missed last weeks college session) plus my essay with no grade and not very positive comments so I am pretty !!!!ed off. I will be ringing tomorrow and saying what am I supposed to be doing with the work with no instructions and can u offer any positive criticism for my essay.. OY!

The day I am free and chatty is the day you ladies seem busy lol typical! x
