  • Just lost my post, here we go again

    So far today have done
    Washing line is full
    bedding washed
    BM on :D
    Filled car up with petrol using 5p off per L voucher after stocked up at Mr S and spent over £50 for the 1st time in ages.

    Yesterday did this again as stocked up with 1/2 price dental stuff (will last into next year hopefully), fairy wash powder 80 wash pack (to last alongside the rest into next year and over winter), shoulder of pork half price (Jamies 8hr pork to try in a few weeks time) and massive piece of unsmoked gammon for Christmas for a tenner instead of £7.99 for a way smaller piece for the ever popular ham in cola :D Even though overspent got some good bargains to keep me going over the rest of the year

    2 cups of tea and 1 cup of coffee to try and wake me up. Feel better today but more groggy for some reason and slept in quite late for me today :rotfl:

    When I come round a bit

    Start Picalilli

    Thanks for the hugs and support. :A

    Hubby just been on phone and the doctor can't give him his full meds because it's over there max dose so we need to leave down the box as it states what he's to take. Thankfully MIL is gonna take it down and then i'll go down for a visit later. I've also packed up a few things that he wants down.

    WM is on and DW is started to be reloaded. I think i'll get abit done in the bedrooms as there all piggin. No drying on the line as it's been raining all morning so clothes horse it will have to be.:D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Hellyboo....I'm so tempted to turn the vacuum on and clear out the bedroom! Would I be that mean? Have to say I am annoyed as I've had to cancel a day's work so I can look after the children. On the plus side I've fitted everyone in by working three evenings next week and it's looking like it'll be a glorious day so I'm going to potter...and he owes me....big time!!

    One load of washing on the line, another load in the washing machine xx

    ETA Hellyboo...congratulations...I think?!?

    Haha I say do it! I was going to hoover upstairs today...maybe I still will mwahahahah! I'm pretty annoyed too, and I dread to think how much money he spent...

    As for the getting married, Jake is only 7 weeks atm, so his third birthday is a long way off!
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy


    WW 37lb (2 STONE 9lbs! :j ) lost since July, 11tybillion to go...
  • Phew... thanks for the company Mrs C.
    I managed to change bedlinen and throw into WM, DW unload and load, hoover sitting room, (and under settees), take all cushions off sofas and am now 23p richer:j, hoover all debris then return cushions, find car documentation to tax car that has been off road ffor 6 months whilst DD learning to drive in her little runaround (saved 6 mths tax - very MSE:T) ...but she passed test on thursday so now I need my own car back on the road. Online tax - done. Now need to find some money to pay garage for recent overhaul to my car ..... 23p is not quite enough:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Hope your HHC was as productive.

    Hello right back at you MrsC!

    Invisiblecabbage - don't spend that 23p all at once!

    Hellyboo - I guess three years gives you time to plan! My OH is never drinking again either! I'm wondering when the tiredness will kick in for me as I stayed up with him until 7am. I'm wondering how much money he spent too though it was a works do so might have been free. The best of it is that his bank card fell out of his pocket when he came in....I've put it somewhere safe but I'm going to let him think he's lost it for a while. I have to get my kicks somewhere!!!

    Right, HHC for me .... might even get dressed too! xx
