    Hex oh no :( do you not have an Independant land rover specialist near you? Someone on www.landyzone.co.uk ***caution some users are a little funny/abrupt/rude lol thick skin required***

    We are quite lucky in that there are three with a good rep within a few miles. She is stuck in 4th gear but can get low/high diff so just about driveable, we got back from Stoke with it like that last night :eek:. DH plays on landyzone, my car is his baby really, he can't have a defender for work so I have one :cool:.

    I have cleaned the hens out in the slush, and put my wet stuff in the WM. Still trying to make myself get on.

    Tuesday... DONE -

    I think the lounge will need re-straightening once the kids have finished in there. I've been too busy sorting the kitchen to worry about what they are doing in there. As for binbag dance - I've thrown about 5 out today - thank goodness we have trade waste bins as not sure how it would all fit in a normal wheelie bin. Looking forward to relaxing in bath with nice glass of wine.

    Wednesday..........Bring it on!!

    Thanks to all those that have replied to my earlier question - it will make things a lot easier for me now

    Well I managed to do yesterday's list :p

    Am glad it didn't tell me to enjoy all the time with my family though! My mum told me I was 'stupid' :mad: for driving to my Aunty's house because then I couldn't have a drink! Ermm - I think I know that and I made the choice to drive because I'm not fussed about getting drunk and because I don't want to become as annoying and silly as her and my cousin when they are drinking - it was very embarassing! And I thought it was supposed to be the younger generation who go out and get drunk! Fortunately, my aunty is more like me and was sober too and we were able to have a decent conversation!

    I am liking the fact that it is warm enough here to not need the heating on at the moment - almost double figures here for a bit today! Apologies to those of you with not-so-nice weather.

    welcome to all the newbies :D

    Happy Birthday kezlou :j

    Love, hugs, prayers, spoons and sticks to all who need / would like one or more - especially Toots :A, L-L :A and LW :A
    Monday... - DONE!! :D

    HHI

    Well Ex has been. I thought there'd be loads of pressies (there usually is) but it was a craft kit and a bag of smaller pressies including a packet of knickers aged 9-10...DD is in 10-11/11-12 depending on the shop but the sizing says they might fit her so we'll see. Apparently DDs main pressie (to go along with the new bike she got from the family) is going to see Toms Midnight Garden at the Theatre by the lake :undecided Not sure what to make of that but its different so we'll see how it goes down. One thing is for sure, looking at the prices its cheaper than if I tried to take her to a theatre here in Liverpool!

    I can't put things off any more now either. I need to set my budget up as I'm not attempting to make pate now as it'll stink the house out and I'll still be able to smell it in the morning. _pale_ Will put the wm on now as well after spotting the cleaning cloths in there from Xmas eve :o I thought I'd washed/dried/put them away :o:o
    Tuesday...
    HHI

    Personal list:
    Laundry x 4
    Set Budget for 2011 (basing figures on no change in circumstances for the year)
    Make Pate for freezer - will do if the liver has defrosted, it was still solid yesterday! :eek:

    The Freegal-er has been delayed but thats not a problem, just wish the other one would get back in touch :mad:

    Right, off to find my diary that DD bought me to use for budgeting ;) I may be some time....
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Monday and Tuesday done!! :T:T

    SIL and MIL came over and we went out for lunch which was lovely. DH being really sweet as I'm bad again - booked in to see GP on Thursday instead of 10th Jan as no way can I last that long :(. Keep crying and feeling overwhelmed which is carp.

    Going to do a bit more online CBT later today as it's proving helpful, also need to start learning my advanced baby signs ready for my first (and last) advanced baby signing course starting on 7th January :eek:!

    Welcome to all the new people (so sorry, forgotten names and have the memory of a goldfish) - you'll find it really helps you having lists to follow and everyone is so friendly. I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

    Ooooh, Happy Birthday Kezlou!!
