  • I suggested they prop it up with a glass redo... not sure if they've taken my advice though ha!

  • Mummy if you have any icing sugar make some icing up but use hot water, make the icing really thick and it will set hard.
  • They've given up Pennywise :rotfl: we do have some icing sugar but never mind x

    LOL to the gingerbread houses :) Nice idea but .... :rotfl:

    Mr SA acquired a can of spray adhesive from the carpet fitter that would've done the trick :) Hopefully he didn't come by it the same way as the wind up santas :rotfl:

    Sounds like you had a lovely Christmas!

    Here’s to a frugal and debt free 2018
  • Morning Diary,

    Cant believe its Thursday already!! This week is just flying by, I broke up nearly 2 weeks ago :eek:.

    Anyway yesterday I went to the gym, felt really chuffed with myself :D. Been on the scales this morning and have about 1/2 a stone to lose to get back to where I was over the summer. Its been steadily coming back on and not helped by the hit and miss gym sessions over December. Anyway I'm easing myself in gently :rotfl:.
    Caught up with my ironing in the afternoon and the sorted out my underwear drawer and shoes. Managed to throw away a shoe box and thats it :rotfl:.

    I really need to do some shredding and filing but the recycling needs emptying first so will wait until Saturday to do this.

    SA, :rotfl: to Mr SA and his santas!!!

    Louby, we dod thank you. I hope I can be frugal, January is never too frugal as its DD2s birthday. Bad planning on that one :rotfl:.

    Think thats it guys, Happy Thursday xx

    Ha ha to the sorting out. I did the same yesterday and basically took everything out of 3 drawers and then put everything back in :rotfl: at least it’s neat!
  • Glad im not the only one Louby :rotfl:, I thought the same about it being neat!!

    I need to go shopping today really. It is going to snow tomorrow (apparently!) so probably won't get out if it does. Problem is I can't be bothered but we don't have much in to make a meal out of now.

    It sounds like you had a lovely Christmas MTG :).

    I know how how you feel about weight gain :mad:. I've put on 8 pounds since the summer and eould ideally like to lose 12 pounds. But it's my own fault, I've had too much chocolate and alcohol, and not enough walks :mad:. Well done for making it to the gym :T.

    I want to do some de-cluttering too but it can be hard to get rid of things.

  • Evening Diary,

    DH and DD2 have gone to G@me to trade in an old Xb0x and DD1 is playing out so just enjoying a cuppa and some peace :D.

    DD2 and I went to Mr Al's earlier and spent £32 which included a whole chicken and 5 chicken breasts so not bad at all. This plus things we have in the freezer will tide us over for the next week.

    I have roasted some left over tomatoes and whizzed them into a portion of soup which will do for work next week.

    We had a breakfast for a late lunch at 1.30pm and still pretty full from that. DD and I decided on a picky tea! Ive got some mozzarella needing using in the fridge so going to make some mini pizzas and have with crackers, cheese, cucumber sticks, grapes etc. Looking forward to it!
    Always feel really :money: when I'm using things up instead of throwing it :rotfl:.

    HHOD, are you getting back on it in the new year? If so we can encourage each other!! Im a bit of a hoarder... I think it comes from not having much a few years back.

    Think thats about all from me xx
