We had a lie in and got woken up by a lady knocking at the door to ask if we will vote labour in the local elections. I stood on the step in my PJs and calmly said "we will be voting but we do not believe in disclosing on the doorstep who for". I wanted to say "It is a bank holiday - go away! Now you have made me open my door, get cold and show the street my PJ's and bed hair

OO Bookie, hope you have a lovely day tomorrow xxxxxx good luck to your girl xxxxx

Morning all

I am not dressed. It is officially the first day off from work since Christmas.

I am being a lazy bum. I would still be in bed but the guinea pigs smell real bad. Not entirely sure deciding to keep them in my room was such a great idea.

Talking of my room Good Grief it is a mess. tip tip tip. haven't filed any post in I don't know how long plus I have books and school work to sort out. and I basically have one piece of furniture too many in my room, especially now the girls have a new cage. hmmm. weekend project methinks.

SRM, it must be fairly boring with your bloke and his cars......and the waste of the tickets oooo that would annoy me!

Bunny, I keep meaning to tell you to have a good holiday - so

:jHave a great time Bunny! xxxxx:j

:EasterBunHappy Easter to everyone :EasterBun :easter_ba:icotbaske:icotbaske:easter_ba

I've had a soggy morning. Poole Park is like a swimming pool and even a huge golf umbrella wasn't much help. Soaking wet feet and wet trousers The irony is, it's now stopped raining! Pah.

Oh I give up. Mum has just come in with six bags of shopping. easily 80 quids worth for two for us.

I could cry. I don't know what to do. she has bought all sorts of stuff we already have just WASTED money we may as well burn fivers.

I went out yesterday and sorted out food for the weekend apart from roast dinner. thought she'd go out today and just get the sunday stuff.

She doesn't even realise. I work so !!!!ing hard I have put my sodding rent up. I pay for stuff all the time and each week I spend at least an hour chucking things away and cleaning out the fridge. Its hopeless.

I think my response would have been a little more 'curt' than that :whistle:

We still laugh at the time when, not long after we'd bought our first house we were having a row about something really trivial and I was in a foul mood when there was a knock on the door and I was greeted by Jehovah's Witnesses.
I shouted "F*ck Off!" and slammed the door.
There was silence for a minute and then both me and hubby burst out laughing - put an end to the argument anyway!

EDIT:- By the way, I wouldn't recommend this idea, it was a heat of the moment thing

:grouphug:
Can you go through what she's bought an do a load of meal planning and maybe even cooking and freezing so it'll last ages and you'll have lots of meals in?
That way you might save on the next few weeks shopping

The freezer is already full. it is doing that overfreezing thing cos mum didn't shut the door properly. I can hear her trying to fit more stuff in.

She won't meal plan. I have tried so hard to even just get a vague idea of what we will use. but its always the same. she hates shopping and just chucks what ever in - we now have about 30 packets of crisps for example - as she doesn't eat them and I have 1 or 2 packets (which I give to the kids!) with lunch. loads of tins, loads of cleaners. cans of drink. two freezers full of food.

I even gave her the fly lady book to try get her to stop hoarding. I do it too, I know exactly how she feels. but we simply don't live in a big house now. this place is more like a cottage!

The loft is full my room is full, the shed is full, the other shed is full, the spare room is full, her room is full. Her friend wanted to come and see her on her birthday but we both just panicked, the house is far too cluttered. its not ddirty or anything, just completely FULL. I hate it. never felt so trapped in my life.

sorry to go on but honestly I have no idea how to changes things today. I normally have a plan (like the consevatory - which has again become full of crap but at least it worked for a while)
