    i've been back to the website 3x to look at them and decide if i should get them :rotfl: i must learn!! NO curtains until i have saved for them :A (i say that now............)

    I've had an ok day today apart from ds2 destroying my house:eek: he really has hit the terrible 2's :eek::eek:

    I sent them out to play when the weather was a bit milder at lunch and scrubbed my living room clean. They came in and it was back to normal in 10 mins- toys everywhere, cushions on the floor, dvd's casually strewn about the place...usually right in my path so i stand on them all.........:cool: KIDS.

    My plan this evening is to get kids bathed, in bed by 7pm latest, do some yoga, (have been a good girl and done sit ups already today :T) and get to bed to meditate -am doing my reiki course at the weekend and i've let my meditation slide :eek: oopsy! will correct this tonight!!

    Have checked bank several times today as got a funny feeling it is about to go overdrawn :eek:....still £23 in there though....will check again in morning! (i'm a little OCD about my online banking & spreadsheets. MUST check them several times in the day :o)

    Really need to catch up on here too but open a diary then get distracted and wander off and by time i get back i've been logged out so don't reply :o sorry all! I am reading them all though and have managed to post on a few at least :rotfl:

    Right-o tom&jerry is finito so off to run bath! Have a schedule to keep here ;)


    ETA: I weighed myself today. Was bmi of 26.25.........i then weighed my boobies seperately. They were 11lb -did quick check on google and that weight is about valid for my size ;) SO then re-did BMI with my weight minus boob-age. Guess what!!!!!!!!!! I am now in a healthy weight range and BMI is 24 :rotfl:yay no more dieting :rotfl::rotfl::eek:

    Ahhh you see it's all rather technical ;) basically you have to find a surface level with your chest (kitchen table) put the scales on pick your boobies up and place them on the scales before they switch off again :rotfl: i then did this 3 times and took an average :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Just had a chance to catch up quickly !! You made me laugh so much with the Boobie weight story!!! Not only that but I am soooo insanely jealous, mine are so small there is literally nothing at all to pick up !! WOW bras for me all the way as DD1 reminds everyone at any given opportunity !! :rotfl:

    SIM, you watch out , your neighbours may start paying you much more attention than usual !!;)

    Anyway, I hope you have managed to find a fridge for your mum and well done on stepping away from the curtains.... I tend to move the curtains around from one room to another if they fit the window, gives the room a new lease of life for freeeeeee !! I get very bored quickly with the decor so it works for me ! x

  • ooh and good idea moving curtains around ...but all our windows are different sizes :( ! the only ones the same are my room & kids room and i'm not letting them anywhere near my curtains lol ;)

    No fridge yet either........i'm still looking though! Good news is that my dad will pay for mum's removals & she has been given the go-ahead by her housing association to move :D she has some money saved which she was going to spend on removals but is now going to put that towards carpet as there is nothing down in new house. So i will still have a look out for the fridge as she won't be able to afford that too! anyway must go paint my face or i'll scare everyone at the nursery :p

    I just tried the ebay £5 off voucher i had but unfortunately it was on hukd and people were using the code several times so that ran out pretty quickly :eek: still am happy with my clearance bargains from argusto! :rotfl: dd is nearly sorted for her birthday now! I need to find ds a bike for his and i'm nearly done there too :T
