  • Hi Mummy, I think your germs have spread over cyber space I am all coldy and snuffly, achy.... :( At least I don't spend any money when I am ill and not wanting to go out :o

    Shopping just amazes me, I don't actually know where it all goes. The down side to living in a village is that we only have a little co-op but for a proper shop we need to drive at least 15 minutes so I can't just pop down for the bargains so to speak.

    and Tetley all the way here :p I don't actually like a cup of tea unless it is Tetley!
    Just keep swimming!

    Mr G likes Lipton Yellow Label tea. We can't find it anywhere here so we order it from down south. He will drink any tea if there is no yellow label but we have yellow label in our house.

    Afternoon diary!!

    Had a lovely productive day today! Dropped both kids off this morning and then went to Mr M's for toilet rolls etc. Spent £20 in there so not bad at all.

    Then came home had some crumpets and a cuppa in silence... bliss!!

    Flew round the house doing my jobs and just finished as it was time to pick the girls back up. DD2 was having a party at playgroup for the end of term and DD1 ended up having some food too so that was them fed :T!!

    Came home and baked some butterfly bins for the teachers as leaving pressies. They will get enough chocolates and what not and and this didnt cost a penny as we had the ingredients in.

    Ended up getting some pizzas for tea and we will have the chicken for tomorrows tea as I was undecided as what to make.

    Just finished my shopping order and its £103 so £3 overspend! Will have a another look later and see if theres anything I can shave off.

    So whilst the pizzas are in im going to hoover downstairs and then the house will be sparkling!!

    Waving hi to everyone whos popped in :D xxx

    Hi Mummy and all who follow!
    Thank you - I'm only 10 weeks, still v early days, but hoping all is ok.
    My paying off has slowed somewhat now due to me trying to save ready for when I'm hopefully going to be on dismal SMP.
    Baby is completed planned and much wanted and I know we'll be fine financially, it just means the bit of debt we have will take longer to pay off, but hey - ho.
    We're still paying lots more than the min payments so not too bad.

    You're doing so well mummy - keep up the good work!

    Hi Mummy

    Congratulations to you tootoo - I love babies but Mr Choo says no more :(

    Mummy - I'm so jealous of your quiet day at home with no kids (I've forgotten what they are! no chance of remembering either over the next 6 weeks)

    £103 is pretty good, I need to get mine sorted out with Mr S. That was a lovely idea to make cakes for the teachers, much more thoughtful than just buying them something.

    Hope you're having a good day xx

    Afternoon diary, lots of posts today :).

    Mummy, thank you for your support! I too cannot wait to get to the 30% mark, feels good but I do wish I could stop wishing my life away!

    Tootoo, awww 10 weeks!! I absolutely loved being pregnant with both of mine, was very lucky as I was very well throughout and had good births. Cant see me having any more though im not the most patient person in the world!!

    Thanks Gap :).

    Choo, I didnt really make the most of my quiet time. Mr M's and cleaning!!! Plus theres only 2 hours between dropping the last one up and picking the first one back up. Better than nothing though!

    Well the cakes went down well. There was lots of gift bags being handed over to the teachers! I had a little cry when we picked DD back up, im such a softie!!!
    Then we went off to the park with a picnic and havent long got back.

    I had a load of washing out on the line and ive just had to dart out and bring it all back in as it started peeing it down!

    Think thats about all from me anyway! Catch up soon xx

    Good Morning diary!!

    Nothing too much to report, just checking in. 3 days til payday woohoo!!

    Im determined today will be a NSD and im not leaving the house until this evening so that this happens!! I havent had a NSD all week so it needs to be today!! My dad is taking us out for a meal tonight to say thank you for having him here but hes paying so thats that sorted!!

    The kids are nagging to go to the park so ive told them we can go later on. Luckily we dont pass any shops or anything so that will stop them nagging for sweets!!

    Just got a load of whites in which can be pegged out once theyve finished.

    Nothing much else to report! Catch up soon xx
