    and all the lazy louts who follow. [ETA and Gonzo x]

    so nice to be noticed :s

    however it is nice to come back to work for a rest, hehe Mrs is a slave driver when it comes to chores, and the wee one does love to 'help' Daddy when hes doing his chores... makes things take twice as long than they should but it will be worth it in the end (IT WILL!!!),

    had the funny situation yesterday when i was mowing the lawn, i unplugged everything to take it around the front of the house, took the cables and other bits around bit at a time to stop wee one escaping. anyways set it all back up do some of my front lawn and when i empty the grass from it what do i find but one of her dollies inside it - made me giggle

    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 - I have a week off from main job, but still doing my evening at No. 2 job. So I shall have a little bit of time to clock on here and see how you are all doing. For those of you who were so supportive during my dark days a couple of months back I am pleased to say that things are looking up.............OH offered a job and started last wek. Money not great but like you say Luc the joy of (him) gett ing up and going out every day has boosted his self esteem and made things feel lighter for me. Going to take a very long time to be debt free, but working at it and with him working the light is shinning at the end of a very long dark tunnel. Hi Gonzo, sun starting to come out here and have washing on the line, another in machine and two waiting to go - the only problem about being off is that I am on the rampage in the house!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, will pop back on later my list of "to do's" is endless and I am going to go to the gym and have a sweim when I take DS3 into work (that's where he works) and then that will be some me time this week. Speak later Billie xxxx

    Morning,
    Woke up feeling happy enough then DD and I had a massive row. She is v tired today and I ended up just having to ignore her. God help me when she is a teenager.

    Have to crack on with making calls today, was feeling fine about it all last week and now getting all stressy about it. Im such a goose.

    Morning

    Thanks Suzy for the suggestion of an Indian Head massage, it will definitely be something I will look into.

    Off to see the Doctor this morning, so will see what she says. I have to be honest, although it is still there, it is nowhere near as bad as it was! Typical...

    Where was BB going? I see a few airports are still shut, so I hope the one she is going to is still open!

    She's off to Mallorca

    Beanie - Nathan is much better. Slept a lot over the weekend but his appetite is back and he's full of smiles and mischief again;)

    Bunny - have stuck to the pink cleanser without the scrublet and moisturised religiously over the weekend and now have a bit of a breakout on chin and temples... seriously considering buying a paper bag at lunchtime... Is this just part of the process?
