    I am sorry to hear about the Oliver - I take it it is a friends son? missed yesterday's chat completely!
    My OH was on a night out last night - came in drunk at 12.30 and strated making bacon butties - I took over cos he was dangerous!! Finally got to bed about 1.30 then he started trying to have drunken deep and meaningful conversation! I feel like it was me that was out - tired and got a sore head!!! Kids off today so he is in charge which worries me as he is unrousable!

    Morning all.

    Have done my civic duty;)

    Big hugs Kassi. Such a tragedy to lose a child. I shall be giving Nathan extra cuddles tonight.

    SAl - tell him if he's not playing ball you'll have to involve CSA...

    good morning

    Sorry to hear about Oliver Kassi, such a sad time when anyone dies, but it seems a lot harder when its a child, i can sympathise a bit (i haven't lost a child) but my little sister died when she was 13 on my 21st birthday, and it was horrible watching my parents go through all that pain.

    I've been having a good clean through, Nathan (ds2) is poorly i think i need to call dr out, so its a mad rush to get everything spick and span :)

    put washing on and its raining :( not sure whether to use the tumble as we are not on prepay meters no more,i'm too scared to leave anything on.

    have the job of cleaning the tiles today to make sure theres no air bubbles cracks etc, the dh will inspect when he gets home and redo if need be. The radiator needs to be sorted either today or tomorrow as its still leaking, we don't want to come home to a flood.

    And i still got ironing to tackle and i need to clear the dining room table of beads and put them all away.

    gonna have another coffee first i think

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Morning all

    Buns - Hugs to you x

    Sal - No maintance isn't on - get the CSA involved now and save any hassles further down the line, I've always found them really helpfull.

    Will be off to vote at lunch time, the polling station is right in the harbour so we shall stop for a spot of lunch overlooking the sea.

    Need to get all my beans and peas planted out this afternoon if it stays dry and then tonight will be a serious ebay listings splurge, aiming for 30 items.

    Busy busy busy!


    Oh, and I've had a fb friend request from a KS....who's that?

    Oh my.....just checked the bank, had £2400 paid in from tax credits...... I think I need to phone them!!!!
