    Big hugs, bagpuss. I hope you're keeping ok. I'll need to watch Sherlock too - can't believe it's the last one! They definitely need to make a new series. It's fab.

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    You lot are all potty with your 101 lists!!! And as usual, you are the ring leader mother! LOL

    I have started one btw, but i've only got 10 things on there, i'm rubbish. lol

    Sorry I have been mysteriously absent for a while, as mum said laptop charger went pop, new one was delivered yesterday but have been out on the bike so much I haven't been able to post. Last night we went to Lyndhurst, had fish and chips then came home. How hardcore is that??? LOL This morning however, we went to Bristol and back (no mean feat from Salisbury!) to motor bike shop, and I have to confess to spending A LOT of money this weekend............ah well!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Nothing to report as yet...give me a minute...!

    Afternoon All

    Bagpus - hope your feeling ok, dont stress can you ring and ask why you need to go back- might just be a checkup.

    So, i was up at 5.45am..yes there is 2 of these times in a day! makde myself a flask of hot water to take my chinese tea to the carboot..picked up my friend at 6.30 and loaded her stuff and we arrived at the carboot at 7am...we could almost see tumbleweeds! We chose to attend a new carboot near Bristol..but of a risktyping as not masses of people or carbooters. We both sold stuff, not loads still had stuff to take home. But we covered out entrance fee and the snack we had to have as out tummies were rumbling! But we are going to ebay some stuff, do another carboot next month and take some stuff to charity.

    Other DFW stuff today...
    sold some shoes on ebay
    loaded more on ebay
    dinner cold cooked foods from the fridge
    made arrangements for help to sort the roof - carboot/ebay/charity
    not much else today!

    Hope all is well with people :)
    been away for a while..need to get on financial track!

  • Morning all

    Thank you to all those who welcomed me yesterday :)

    My day went well yesterday and it was only my OH who spent money in Mr M!

    Things to do today:-

    • Feed cats - all done
    • OH to change cat litter
    • Tidy up babies room - see what we have got and what we haven't and make a list
    • Write up meal plans for this week - all done and recipes printed out
    • Make my lunch for tomorrow
    • Change bed sheets - all done
    • Ironing :o
    That's it for me so far, fortunately managed to clean the whole house yesterday so not much to do today!

    Peaches x

    And other things I managed to find and do! :-

    • Finally get round to sending my driving licence off & V5 form to change my address - 3 months late :o
    • Vacum yet again around the whole house - bit of an obsession
    • Go through filing and shred all unwanted things
    • Email NCT about antenatal courses as apparently they are not running them in my area for some reason
    • Write thank you cards - a tad 3 weeks late :o
    • Sort used stamps out for three charities :)
    • Update online banking as I can now afford to increase 3 payments :T
    • Send off new car insurance debit mandate - thank you gocompare!
    • Send off Health in Pregnancy Grant
    Phew! That was a lot of things to do! Was nice of my OH to say your 27 weeks pregnant you shouldn't be doing so much! I didn't see him using the vacum funnily enough or change the cat litter!!
