    20p op today :D

    Dd has her tutor this morning, then I'm off for a dog walk whilst the boys laze around on the Xbox, I'll let them have today to mooch about indoors, and hopefully get them out and about later in the week.
    I should do some fly ladying and washing and ironing today, need to keep busy so I don't eat! First day of the diet went well yesterday went well,except for a small Malteser bunny :o

    I did a bit of cooking yesterday, made some veggie bean burgers from the good food site and they were horrid, I had to chuck them. Also did a slow cooker full of spag Bol, however in dh portions that's about 3 servings :eek: he isn't massive just does not eat at work all day so comes home starving.

    Have a friend coming for lunch with her kids today,but I think we are getting them all chips for lunch as a treat. I did promise the kids the cinema this week, although we can't all agree on a film still, does anyone know if you can get 2-4-1 with O2 at vue as I'm sure I've done it before and the website just has orange weds info on it?

    Op's made 10p today:D

    My DDs went to see Warm Bodies yesterday & they thought it was great, asked them if they would recommend & they both said yes.

    Alternatively, Skyfall DVD came out on Monday :j £10 in Tesco.

    Hi Lulabelle, no prices yet, one came round the sunday before last and the other last friday. Maybe they don't like us :p

    Hi cath, we are staying as due to dh's business accts we can't get any mortgage until the accts are in the red for 3 years, by which time dd would be almost 19 and the boys 16. Its me that needed to get over myself really, unless we moved area we could never afford a bigger house with 4 beds and a big garden, so i'm trying to make the most of what we have got. They are at a great school locally, shops around the corner, we are close to a tube station and main overhead station and most family some friends are walking distance.

    Nothing will stop me lusting after houses on rightmove though, its a proper addiction, but we can't move now at least for a few years by which time we might not need a bigger house. Do you have itchy feet to move again cath?

    Hi pink poppy, glad the film was good, might take them tomorrow, please don't tempt me with skyfall, i don't like James Bond uually,but went to see that at the cinema and LOVED it :T (and also Daniel Craig who is not my usual cup of tea!)

    We didn't get to see Skyfall at the cinema so I'm desperate to watch the DVD ~ I'm not a James Bond fan either but I'm definitely a Daniel Craig fan :D I might even insist DH wears the Daniel Craig mask I bought him for Christmas when we watch the DVD ~ make sure I get the maximum swoon effect!! :rotfl:

    Does he have to wear it at any other times ;).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
