Learning to live my dreams not trample on them

Things are looking great SH, well done on the painkillers and glad to see you are recovering well

Just wanted to pop up and say Thank you for reminding me about Mr T's vouchers!!! I hadn't changed my address since we moved and was wondering why my last statement never came through! I can now access it online Yay but only £4 so can't swap it lol

Take care, I'm reading in the background xxx

Thanks Bevan

Yes doing much better. Feeling happier again at work as more to do and learning more again.

Floor looks gorgeous.... Still not sure to do re felting...

Now need to try and get everything back in the lounge as it should be..... Trying to get DS to tidy his room - he's not impressed LOL but told him its that or go to bed!! Took away his mouse and phone to help ensure compliance!!

Just had to give DD £21.60 for pantomime, xmas lunch and normal school dinners.... never stops does it!

I'm glad to hear you're feeling more back to normal and enjoying work again. Hope all goes well with the promotion opportunity.

Thanks Tirl - I am sleeping better now which makes such a difference! I can get up in a morning again and the pain has settled down. Wore proper trousers for the first time since operation today and was okay

Just making a coffee cake now - yummy! I am still loving my food processor

Hi guys

Well today was mostly okay - apart from whole day was a rush - so could get back in time to take DS to doctors to get antibiotics. Which I managed - only to find out at 10pm that DS hadn't even bothered to take them yet. I went mad at him. All of us are feeling ill, sneezing etc so even dosed DD up before bed as big family celebration at the weekend and don't want everyone ill for it!

I have managed to get OH to rehang curtains but had to damp cloth/rub the emulsion he'd got on them off first so wasn't imprssed. Did try sticking hemline up with wonder web but it just wouldn't stick. Main bits of furniture now back in right place but still need to put contents back on some of the shelves. Have done some but feels never ending. Putting a few things into a charity bag along the way too.

I want to do online banking but can't find the pin sentry device which is annoying. Especially considering we have two - but I think that reflects how many boxes/crates we still need to unpack. Need OH to move the TV cupboard over more before I refill it with DVDs etc LOL.

I had a fruit smoothie for tea followed by veg soup so tomorrow could be interesting LOL. I was trying to be healthy but followed it up with chocolate so not quite worked....

Hi guys - well I'm up need to be in work for 9.30am so need to get a shift on. currently eating breakfast so part way there. I think DS is deliberately milking the time off and is happy to stay ill. He also just won't tidy up his room and bring down crockery etc - I've said to him that his room resembles a fairground or concert arena after the fans have been and if we didn't have such a new house we'd have rats! We found a lidless bottle of chocolate spread under DD's bed and she is better than him at sorting her room. I'm not generally that houseproud but food, crockery and litter I get really upset about if its not put in its proper place! Understandably so I think!!

DD is also ill. So going to leave DS with DD today - I work close by so may be able to come home later if needed. Will try and finish early too. I'm in the new bit of my job today and have a meeting otherwise I might have been able to work from home.

Well I ended up working late but I did ring home twice to make sure they were okay and OH got home at a reasonable time. Just made DS go out for the good of his health (otherwise known as to buy us milk!!) Much cheaper if he goes LOL although I did drop one of the lots of milk as soon as it go home and wasted about 1.5 pints which was frustrating but there we go

Kids seem a bit brighter.... I did suggest to DS that he do some washing today but that doesn't seem to have happened.... not particularly surprised. TBH it was handy that he was off sick but well enough to look after DD. He's going to be my childcare for the strike day too as the schools are shut.

We bust the toilet seat in the downstairs loo this week - I think it was weakened when I stood on it to paint LOL but the effects were only made clear this week. I have 2 tubs of paint to take back to B&Q so that should more than cover the cost so planning on doing that...

Had lunch with a different work friend today and caught up a bit which was nice

Thanks Zorro

Wrote a long post and lost it.... but never mind...

Got £25 credit note from B&Q but store shut before I could spend it!

savingholmes

Will try B&Q again later - may try home and bargain first tho as I know they have toilet seats!

Also printed off a 25% off voucher for [EMAIL="Br@ntan0"]Br@ntan0[/EMAIL] so we're planning to go shoe/boot shopping later

May go and personally take back some mr T clothes and see if I can swap them.... Wish me luck with that one too!

We have managed to get the promotional rate reestablished on a card that we'd forgotten to pay/assumed a DD was in place for
