    thanks jwil we covered the boy in vicks and he slept without coughing or i was totally out of it and didn't hear him :rotfl:

    I need to stop spending money but to be fair its all been for the holiday :rotfl:

    Spent £80 on 5 visas and sent the link to abbie's friends mum as shes sorting out hers :T then sorted out my travel insurance for £27 :T plus got a years 2 for 1 cinema tickets and meals. These haave been printed out and already put in their wee clear wallet ready for my holdall........yes I am one of those people :rotfl:

    Managed to get Abbie her trainers for holiday, lucky git can still fit into size 5.5 so got her a pair of Nike air forces for £40 in the sale :D plus treated hubby to a t shirt for £15 and abbie a hoodie for the plane £25 cause again shes a skinny minnie so she still fits in kids sizes :rotfl:

    went to sports direct :o:o:o:o:o omg spent a fortune on 4 pairs of joggers, a hat, a suitcase for bob for his hold luggage, a top or kk and that stung me £158 :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    also spent £40 in lidl for stuff to do us up until friday when we go away for the weekend so ill be spending no more money except for toddler groups :rotfl:

    roll on friday payday and spice girls :T:T:T:T:T:T:T cant wait :D:D:D:D:D

    right off to did everyone's stuff out and write down exactly what is still needed as suitcases are coming down this week :j as hubby needs to go up to the loft to get our bags down for our weekend trip so he might as well get them all down :rotfl:

    4 weeks and 6 days :rotfl:

    Been a strange day one mindee off this week, started work at 11.30am but still had to set up playgroup tbh didn't look like anyone was showing up :eek: but 11 kids turned up so wasn't a waste of time :T also managed to replenish the centres cancellation forms for we have a hug even meeting tonight at 6.30pm

    Abbies panic attacks are getting more frequent bless her I've figured out my way of helping her deal with them, I just grab her, hug her tight and tap her shoulder so she can focus on that, daddy just hugs her tight like a big bear, Xander talks rubbish to her getting her to focus on his voice but her boyfriend is struggling to help her as she had one on Saturday night and he had to run in and get me :( so I just showed him what to do and he seemed a bit better bless him so hoping if she hasn't one when I'm away he'll be able to deal with it trying to get doctors appointment changed from tomorrow to Wednesday as I'll have less childminding kids with me. Still no answer from doctors tho

    Mindee eating her lunch so I thought I would pop on :cool: I aim for a nsd day today :T it's the least I can do :rotfl:

    Mindee getting picked up early so plans for today is get some housework done and house is a bit of a riot :rotfl:

    Finish work at 6pm then I have my bit AGM meeting with the community centre hopefully it doesn't drag on as I need my bed early tonight's as had a rotten sleep with not on kks coughing but next door neighbours coughing didn't get to sleep til 1am :eek:
