Little Lights - Cinny's 2011 Diary

Birdie85

Coinstar charges 7p per £1?! Martin would be horrifed! I don't care about annoying bank staff, I take mine in to get changed anyway, sometimes if we've got loads OH and I will take a couple of bags in at a time over a few days The HSBC in my old town had a change paying in machine, it was amazing! I wish the Halifax had them.

Dads are funny on Wii Fit aren't they?! My Dad nearly went through the TV trying to do the ski jumping, he just couldn't get the concept of shifting his weight and just kept leaning the top half of his body further and further forward! I haven't played on my Wii in ages, I really should dig it out again! OH keeps asking me to sell my Wii and the gubbins to go with it and put the money towards the Xbox Kinect, and I know it makes sense because the Kinect is (apparently) so much better than the Wii but I'll miss it when it's gone so I've been putting it off!

Have you found anything nice on Etsy for your Brother's girlfriend? I have to stay away from Etsy as I keep finding things I really want!

Morning,

The Natwest by my work had one of those machines so you didn't need to bag it up or anything, was brilliant!

Nice treat getting the wii! I love ours but can't play at the moment as am a bit too big hehe, will be back on it when baby is here. The dance games are really fun.

Nothing to be found on etsy yesterday bar the scary coupon bag! I've settled on what I'm getting her though, a Pixar/Disney cover for her iPhone as they're cute, only about £5 posted and she'll love it. Just need to settle on what one and get it ordered.

Was at my parents last night and it sempt like everyone kept trying to have a 'little chat' with me asking me to be nicer to my Brothers Girlfriend. Pardon?! We're nice to her (like buying her presents), we don't bad mouth her infront of my Brother even when he's ranting about her being in one of her moods, we don't bite back when she's plain out rude to our faces. We still try, although I know I rant on here so often it seems like I hate the girl, regardless of how she is. She doesn't do a thing, and we're the ones who have to try harder? Hell no! That does not compute.

Moneywise, we're quite chipper! I was a little spendy yesterday and spent about £5.50 on things just to nom on at my Parents and to squash chocolate cravings from the corner shop. Sent off my ebay items and was only 1p off the correct amounts so I didn't lose much on the selling price this time :j Have £28 in my purse, going to put £20 in for fuel, need to pop to the bakery after work to get some bread in and the rest will no doubt be spent on cheesecake due to me being a fatty, and me liking the cheesecake. I did put about £4 in the change tub yesterday though (then sneakily counted it out - £11 on the snozzle for a couple weeks purse and wallet emptying!)

Wendz - There's a thing on the Wii fit for your baby, isn't there? I got a little giddy when I saw it picturing a baby hula hooping and doing yoga poses until OH ruined it by saying 'I figure thas just lays tha baby ont top'

Birdie - It's not really annoying them I don't like, it's the fact it's always too hot in there and I get all awkward! Even in Winter when it's FREEZING, it's too warm in there with all your layers on and it's actually nice to go back to freezing your nose off, the less time I can spend in there the better, even if the lego play centre does look tempting.

Not feeling my normal chipper self this morning. Had a little vent and teary time at OH this morning over something stupid I found out about months ago. Ghmph. He gave me cuddles and chocolate so I'll be fine. I just love these emotionally stable moments of my life!

In good money news, Quidco are set to send me £106.08 in their next batch of payments :j Is from my phone contract, which OH pays for so it's going towards his car insurance. Which means over the past 3 days we've managed to get another £200 together for it. Huzzah!

Ordered my Brothers Girlfriend's Birthday present. A really pretty iPhone case (not Disney but all butterflies and swirls) and it comes with a seriously cute plushie phone holder for just £2.99. We've actually got Birthdays until Sept sorted for now so can rest knowing it's all covered for a couple months. We do know what we want to get everyone September Birthday wise already though, just waiting mainly so we don't get out of date things. Annnd, relax!

When I got home from work yesterday OH had gone crazy and moved everything around in the Kitchen. Quite seriously EVERYTHING bar the sink. This morning I went into the now pan cupboard for my cereal. It's all very confusing, I told OH he'll end up coming home one night to me trying to cook tea on a cornflake. It does look nicer for the change, I'll adjust!

My Sister is coming over tonight, OH has gone out to see his family today while I'm at work *meant to be working* and then I think he's going out with a guy he worked with to play darts. Not 100% sure! But either way, it's macaroni cheese (seeing how I didn't make it last night) with salad, Hellcats, Desperate Housewives and 30 Rock tonight. Yay! Will be out most of tomorrow seeing people and shopping so I'm making the most of my lazy time. Although OH called to say he beat my high score on the hula hooping Wii so I'll need to beat that first.

Oh **big hugs** I have been feeling pretty teary the last few days. Had a good cry to OH about it all yesterday. I think because I have been feeling so ill for the last few weeks, I am scared that I am going to feel like this throughout the whole pregnancy - I hope not
Also doesnt help that as soon as I found out about being pregnant I just stopped taking my anti-depressants cold turkey.

Lets hope we are both feeling happier soon

Cinny91

Aww Flower, I hope you're feeling a little better today! Keeping all my fingers crossed it passes for you, it must be awful. A good cry does make me feel better though, it's like my body is getting all the bad feelings out. I'm starting to feel bad for OH though who's kind of replaced my Mum as my go to for venting or teary sessions. Oh well, it was him who pushed for us to move in together His own doing!

Little bored at work today, I have one thing to do allll day. Been plodding with it for the past hour or so when I could have done it in about 20 minutes. 3 more hours then my weekend begins!

Flower08

I agree a good cry does make you feel better. OH made me cry even more though he was telling me he knew I had been finding it hard coming off my tablets like that and how proud he is of me. He's never soppy, so to hear him say that just made me cry even more :rotfl:

Cinny91

Bless your OH! If you were my lady love I'd be proud of you too. Considering how well they work, and how drastically different I know my Mum feels with just a couple days off the tablets it is really pretty brave what you did for your baby's sake.

wendz86

I hadn't seen the wii fit thing for the baby, is it just weighing them?

Sorry to hear you had a bit of a cry but hopeully it made you feel a bit better, no point in keeping things in.

Yay for the Quidco payment!

Flower - sounds like you are being really brave without the anti depressants.

Birdie85

I think it does just weigh them Wendz. I wouldn't use it though, I can weigh myself 3 times in a row and get 3 different results!

Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit blue girls, I have weepy days too and it's not nice. I agree about OH's having to take the place of Mums as a shoulder to cry on, they're so good to put up with us!

I think you're amazing too Flower for coming off the anti-depressants cold turkey. It must have been so difficult, try to concentrate on your fantastic little baby though. I'm sure you'll start to be all bloom-y soon and feel less gloomy!

That's a good Quidco haul! Most I've made recently is about 90p!
