            Morning All
 Grey and damp here again but it is forecast to dry up.
 Still buzzing about my MSE win, I really am not used to winning anything :j:D :j:D
 Not much planned for the day. DH is going to put in a new light at SIL's. So I am going to poodle down to the town to get some of the shopping. Luckily I don't need a lot this week.
 DS pack up is done and I am just about to have brekkie

            sistercas, congrats to your dd!
 Hope everyone's well and not too busy. Today is my long day at uni, made even more hectic as I need to hand in an assignment, do one, and try to get an appointment with careers to find out what competency based and technical interviews are! Of course, every hectic day goes that little bit better when you start the day with a big warm hearty breakfast Porridge!

            Morning Dudes! 
 Damp here too, but not raining yet. Sleepless night again, I didn't take a painkiller as they are having an effect on my digestive system, but I have had one this morning. hopefully the anti-b's will start to work quickly, and I'll be back to normal shortly. I was explaining to DS1 on the way home from school yesterday, and he said, oh that's funny I have a lump too! :eek: He has a lump under his skin on the right side of his jaw, which moves about, so he's off to the doctors to get that checked out tomorrow morning, that didn't half give me a fright. Its probably a blocked gland or something but your heart still misses a beat, doesn't it? Its probably a blocked gland or something but your heart still misses a beat, doesn't it?
 OS for today, I am off to Aldi after I drop the boys off, for F&Veg, and then home to do an online shop for MrT to stop myself going nuts I think, I am almost at the limit of my GC budget already this month. Then I am doing an online hunt for bikes and winter jackets for the boys. Does anyone know any good sites for discounted skiwear? I found one for the little one in Sports Direct but not for DS1.
 Have good days everyone, hope master Bitsy and Noah are sttled today, and anyone else in need has a good day.
 Hugs spoons and hi fives all round.

            Thanks BB, I did try Amazon, but I have a huge list of requirements:o the others are exactly the sort of things I was looking for - that will keep me busy for a while

            Hi Guys!
 Long time...no see.
 Its not going to be a huge post as Im really not very well atm, but just wanted you all to know Im still here and reading:D
 This morning the WM has been on and been put in the TD:o, toilet cleaned, scrambled eggs for breakfast and all put in DW. House tidy and clean. OH has done a lot of ironing this morning as he couldnt sleep and the chilli has been made for dinner later.

            Morning all......(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) of you need one,
 Another grey day, lightened only by the fact that there was one little furry body this morning. down at the side of the washer, mind you the greedy little devil had eaten the peanut butter, not a scrap left.....have rest the trap for tonight. The one I put in the cupboard is still there with its little feast.......
 I do not like killing little creatures, but this one was getting to bold........I was afraid it would start to build a nest in the settee where I had found chewed up paper, reminds me I need to have the bed out and check just to make sure.........
 I need to sort out a load of washing, the basket is quite full, there is still quite a breeze but not as bad as yesterday. Wonder how my friends in Dumfries are, they were closing roads due to flooding late yesterday, they live in a very remote arrea difficult to get to if they close the main road.
 So sorry for those affected by the flooding in Cornwall, it takes so long to get things put back, I know people in Cumbria are still not back in their houses 12 months after they were flooded out.
 Right off for my second coffee and sort out a laof for the washer......Was 13st 8 lbs,Now 12st 11 Lost 10 1/4lbs since I started on my diet.0

 You're not the only one. The house elf had to come in my bed in the early hours of this morning due to a visit by giant talking carrots!
 Today is finance sorting day. I kind of know where I am, but I need to be more organised.
 Take care all of you.0

 Morning my lovelies 
 Thanks for all the hugs yesterday. Because I am at home alone with my thoughts, no one in RL to talk to (don't want to be on the phone to my mum crying as she is too close and worries enough as it is) I just need to vent a little so thanks for letting me do that. DS didn't want to go to school and mucked about getting into his uniform but after that was happy as Larry :cool:
 Mindee due soon so not much OS going on. Halfway putting leek and potato soup on in SC, leeks will grow legs and walk out on their own if I leave them any longer 
 Sold a few more craft items at tap class last night and am heading off to play group this afternoon to sell some more.
 Off to pick up a pet carrier off freecycle tonight so not sure what tea will be as I said I'd be there for 7pm.
 jackieg - hope DS's lump is OK. I agree what a fright for you but I am glad he mentioned it.
 Pen-Pin - Sorry you're not well and am at your friends little girl. How tragic and devastating for the parents and all who loved her. Thinking of you and her family xxxx at your friends little girl.
