Ladies & Gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts ...

Hmm, my nsd didn't last ... however, its a good thing mse wise ... tesco direct are selling 1 litre thermos flasks for half price (£4 instead of £8) and I can collect from the local store saving me the delivery cost, which means I can take hot soup to work with me for lunch, saving me a bomb on spending at school :j

I am rejoining WW on wednesday, I did so well with it last year and it all went wrong because of the stress caused by ex's issues, and I have decided that I am going to go back to the classes this time round. It is expensive, however, I have a voucher to register free and get the first class free, then you can get one months monthly pass for £12.99 instead of the usual price of £19.99, and hopefully after another month of normal price monthly pass I hope to be getting to goal weight where you no longer have to pay They have changed the system this year so I will need to buy some new books for it, but this can hopefully be squeezed out of the £100 of my nans money that is being spent on ds bible and my hair The monthly pass cost will be taken from the food shopping budget as hopefully I will be buying less junk so can afford it from there When I follow WW I live on homemade soups for lunch so the flask should help me stay on track with that too :j

Hey BBAM

Happy 2011

Just another thought re the flask - something my mum does when she makes the first cup of tea of the day is she also fills her flask up, and uses that water from that again rather than boiling the kettle! Saves on her electric Proper MSE styleeee!

Something you could do at the weekend/holidays maybe? Or maybe that's a MSE step too far

That sounds a good one to me Alison! I don't drink that much coffee but would be useful sometimes am sure

Early nights with the laptop are costing me money ... I've just ordered from the Book People, but again its another bargain They do a Horrid Henry party bag kit, you get 10 lots of; horrid henry storybooks, h.h. activity books, balloons, colouring pencils, party bags and some party bunting ... rrp £89.90 ... sale price of £5 :j :j Not only that but free delivery and quidco too :rotfl: :rotfl:

(The £5 will come out of his party fund that so far has £50 in it, so it doens't need to come out of this months money :T)

Benben runs off to hide the debit card in the freezer ....

BenBen don't know if it is any help but ww has a 3 month sign up on line with cashback on quidco - think you get the programme books with it? may save a few pennies

Am back, been on the phone to mum, shes in tears again as Dad is very confused tonight and being quite nasty to her Think we'll be going round there again tomorrow.

Thankyou stressedmum, I did see that ww offer but their online programme doesn't motivate me as much as the thought of someone weighing me

Morning all, so its the last day of the holidays today I could do with a few more weeks off really but never mind. So, todays plan is as follows;

• retrun some more bits to Next
• eyebrows
• ironing
• get stuff for packed lunches
• ds thankyou letters
• general whizz round and clean / tidy
• early night without the laptop

I spoke to mum and she said she felt a bit better this morning. They're going out today with my aunt and my grandad as its the anniversary of my nan dying last year, not that my dad or grandad seem to remember that she's not here any more ...

stressed.mum

Hope your dad is a bit more settled today, maybe just a blip because of change of routine?

OH back to work tomorrow, kids back to school wed and me not til thurs cos wed is my day off :T:j

Must say I am looking forward to getting back to normal because the holidays have been awful, ill kids, ill OH, my dad got rushed into hspital in middle of night, hopefully this year will be better
