tootifruities

I know its my other ID but I am getting ready for new thread.

kazw I wouldnt be worrying how professional your wreath is - its the thought and effort behind it that makes it much more special - I hope you get a snow free day to deliver it (((hugs)))
boddy well done getting Mum's things all done and dusted at once - cant have been easy - at least you can deal with the stuff in your spare room when you feel like it - no pressure of time. (((hugs)))

it has finally stopped snowing - at least for now.

no carers today as they are unable to get here.

Good afternoon.

Well this is only the 3rd time this week I am posting. I just don't get round to it.

This weekend has been pretty rubbish. I amtrying to work out money until Christmas and have realised that for this coming week I hardly have any left. So I am going to have to live off my rations (lucky that I am a food hoarder) and just try to use the least amount of electric as possible (pre payment). My heating is all electric apart from an open fire but I don't have any wood left to burn. It's ok when DD is at school, I don't mind wrapping up and sitting in the cold but when she is here I need to have the heating on. At least in one room.

Well I hope I will last until next Tuesday.

HI all!

I have done the majority of my Christmas shopping and am very pleased with what I have bought people. Hubby did the appropriate "hum/yes/thats nice" when I showed him so all good there!
Chilli on and ironing to do........

Take care all

I probably wont have much time to pop back on until wed so have a peaceful and warm week.

flying in my house has been a wash out this week just gone. i dont know why but ive had no get up and go. been out today went to see harry potter and then had frankie and bennies so yum! now sat here with a bottle of wine since this is the 1st week ive been heavy duty painkiller free so having a little glass or few.

tomorrow i will not be venturing further than the end of the road as i need to get some cash to pay for my ironing drop off tomorrow and will also get a loaf of bread if there is any left!

its going to be a housework catch up day, ive still got to shove my suitcases into the loft and close the loft hatch and then put a few more bits away in my room and then it WILL just be maintenance.

snow is a nightmare round my end of durham, its still very very cold and chilly like most of you and glad i dont need to venture out till tuesday afternoon in the car now.

Boddy ((hugs)) always emotional sorting things out
Moam hope you feel better soon

DS2 collected, out of the few camp helpers just one car needed pulling out and another a push so that wasn't too bad. Snowed on the way home which was a bit of a pest. Ds2 exhausted so had a tiny sleep in the car, fed some food and now in the bath. Trying to keep him up a little longer if possible without him driving me totally insane. DP is in ar*e hole of a mood, so I'm upstairs avoiding him throwing things. Such a moaning **** at times he really is. Moaning about how untidy the house is downstairs - well if he could be bothered to move half the garage he has in the dining area I might have a hope of sorting it! Pah he's been told where to shove his stinking attitude anyway and I've not made dinner, I'll have a sandwich

Bit of a manic week if nothing gets cancelled next week so I'll be in as much as I can

Valli

once again thanks to those flyladies who, through their own activity, prompted me to join quidco.

not only have I dropped over a tenner on both my utility direct debits - that's £20 a month BUT I have cashback too!

Special mention to our glorious leader...

AND I have a casserole ready for tomorrow's tea for the Vallikids...

Gotno

can you not go 'wombling' for wood?
where I do the river clean there are loads of branches on the side (that we chuck out) mind you they'll need drying.

tootifruities

twinmum07 no set time - just depends when pigpen gets her brood settled or organised or she finds free time!!!!

gotnodosh thats not good - hope its not too cold where you are - can you wrap up and go out and collect wood anywhere nearby - anything that will save your electric - what about any pallet places for broken ones or joiners for off cuts? (I am assuming you have a car which you may not - sorry!)

pigpen I am ready when you are - remember everybody I need POST 2 so dont all rush at once!!!!
