:hello: Hi Hun

What is free time? oh yes when we were child free husband free and very young ooh that was a while ago, but would we be without them now ???? :think: need to think that one through!! :rotfl:

Resourcefull? I have my moments:) wait till I can get in the garden (thats if it ever stops raining :eek:, it's as I said to my DH earlier it's like being back in the 40's and having to make do, I hope my kids are picking up on this. curtains working a little warmer downstairs now:D

Hello 40SM - sorry to hear you've had a bad week.

I think a lot about debt is being disciplined and it is so easy to get distracted by other stuff. I had a load of ebay stuff and it took me 3 weeks to put it on and made me £200 - why didn't I do it sooner :mad:

I am happy to kick your butt when you aren't working, just ask away :rotfl:

Hope the spreadsheet has worked ok for you, mine looks pretty scary reading this month but I think it will help at the same time.

Hope DS2 is feeling better now.

As for lunches - I try and make too much dinner and take it in for lunch, but more interesting than sandwiches and less hassle.

OH 40SM, I do sympathise re pup. All this rain creates endless mud, which in turn creates new patterns on kitchen floor/ hall carpet of dog prints, muddy dog towels etc etc....

Morning all:wave:

February is now behind us:j YAH:j. I am determined that March is going to be a much better month. I have got to get myself out of this rut.

Had major arguement with DH last night. I mean MAJOR! He even mentioned the "D" word ! Of course it was completely all my fault as usual:p. Kids were fight & squabble from the minute they get up until they go to bed. Yesterday I just wanted 5 minutes peace and quiet . I needed some headspace ... didn't get it so ... I completely lost it with the kids and perhaps the dog:o DH lost it BIG TIME with me .:( Anyway lets not dwell on it . He is now at work and I am having 5 minutes peace:) Shame that i have to get up at 6am to find some:).

Need to go and get ready in a minute. Then the dreaded school run.... fingers crossed that DS1 will not play up this morning.

I have finally paid electricity bill :j:j. Mortgage and all related insurances have gone out the bank so I am now poor again:).

Must work 8.5 hrs today !

Catch you all later . Gotta try and make my eyes look less puffy from all the cryIng I did last night:o . BTW period started today so PMT probably had a lot to do with yesterday but we won't tell DH that;)

Gotta dash

Have a good day. BTW if you see my green light on between 9.30 and 10.30 am kick me up the butt because at that time I should be in transit:)
