    Hi Mummy,

    Sorry you're poorly, could your headache be hayfever? I suddenly developed it last year and I took an antihistemine every day which kind of worked...well it was better than I felt without taking them.

    My MOT was yesterday and cost £96! ouch. I did ask for them to look at the breaks as they were squeeking and the back windscreen washer...but still.

    Hope you feel better tomorrow, I will have to update my diary to let you know where I am at with everything...life is so hectic at the moment (just one big stress).

    Morning Diary,

    Argh this rubbish weather is p!ssing me off!!!! Had to set the heating to come on at tea time to dry my washing, I could have used the TD but its was so chilly this morning I cant bear the thought of going home to a cold house!
    We slept in aswell!! Not to the point where we were late or anything but we could have been if we went at our usual pace! Im blaming the weather, I mean who wants to get out of bed to this miserable stuff.

    So my head ache has gone. Have been so good recently food wise but last night I needed something nice so I bought some choc hobnobs on my way back from getting my nails done! They were very nice I have to say. May well have them for my tea tonight as ive no clue what me and DH are having. Luckily the girls will have eaten at the CM!

    Leebertine, thank you for posting! DD has calmed down a little, and I think I may know why but need to monitor next time it happens. I think when shes having a growth spurt or hungry shes really grumpy. As a baby she must have been constantly hungry because she wouldnt eat and she was a very hard baby to deal with. Last week she had her tea and pudding and less than an hour later was asking for some cereal! DH loses his temper very quickly when hungry so im beginning to think the same of her! She has certainly found her appetite since getting a bit older!

    Livvy, hope things ok with you, found your diary and posted.
    D Day.... I mean MOT day on Monday! Will fill you in as and when haha!!!

    So the env!rphone envelope came yesterday but I was sooo tired last night and in so much of a rush this morning I totally forgot about it! Will get that packaged up and to the post office tomorrow morning as I need to go for work anyway.

    I havent much spending money left now which is probably a good job at the minute because I really feel like I could do on a massive spree which isnt like me! Lets blame the weather again :rotfl:!!!

    Hope everyones ok xx

    Hi Mummy,

    I couldn't believe it when I looked out of the window this morning and saw the rain...I have winter clothes on today !!!!!!?

    My DD eats for England, as soon as she comes in from CM she is asking for food right up until she goes to bed, but she has deffo just had a growth spurt as all her pj's are half mast now.
    I have to admit though if I am hungry I do get annoyed more easily, maybe you should fix DD up on a little drip from the fridge.

    Morning Diary,

    Well its actually really sunny here today! Quite annoyed I havent managed to peg out since the weather is supposed to rain all day.. doesnt look like any sign of rain to me!
    Think il be working from home tomorrow so can peg out then!!!

    So this morning I took the girls to school as I wanted to stay and do the reading with DD2, theyve started letting you stay for a bit on a Thursday to do this. Went to the post office and posted some bits for work and my old phone.
    Will be picking DD2 up from the childminder and then nipping into the farmshop whilst DD1 is at self defence, then collecting her on the way back.

    Glad to hear everyone elses kids are eating their way through life aswell haha!!! Livvy, she could do with a drip to the fridge :rotfl:. DD1 would definitely appreciate something like that!

    So tonights tea is spaghetti bolognaise and garlic bread. DD2 had it at the childminders last night oopppsss!! Luckily she likes it!

    8 more days til payday.. hurry the hell up payday!!!! xx

    Hi Mummy,

    Its actually sunny here today too, although it isn't as warm as it looks. The man on the radio said it was going to rain this afternoon...just in time for leaving work probably.

    Can't wait for payday...we will get paid on the 24th this month (a day early YIPPPEEE).

    Morning Diary,

    Hope everyones ok! Very overcast here but since im here working ive decided to peg out! Dont think we had any rain here yesterday.. very annoying!

    Livvy, yippee to payday being a week today :j.
    DFW, boooo to the extra long month.. that will be us next month though as its nearly a 5 week month :eek:.
    Choo, thunder :eek:!!!

    Well talking of kids and food this morning DH was making eggs for his breakfast and so the kids decided theyd have a bit of that too!! DD1 has boiled egg and soldiers, DD2 had scrambled egg on toast and then they both had a bowl of wheetos :cool:!!! I had weetabix by the way! DH did offer to make me one too but I didnt really fancy it.

    Going to pick DD up from nursery at 11.30. Cant wait to see her little face when I turn up as she doesnt know im picking her up!

    Need to pop to the farmshop as I didnt do it yesterday, thought I might take DD2 with me but I think ive changed my mind about that one! Will see how I get on here as to if I go before or after I pick her up.

    Nothing more to report! Hope everyones ok xx
