  • I missed Supernatural :( ! I fell asleep on the couch :rotfl:oh well it's taped and i'll watch tomorrow night with DH! I did watch waterloo road though, how sad I actually cried :'(

    Right anyway, aiming for a NSD today! Going to tackle the mounds of clean washing too, into ironing piles, piles to put away and then actually put them away this time ;)! Doctors first though then the post office to pick up something I missed in the post?!

    So hopefully when I check back later I wil have another NSD under my belt, and the house will be clean. :rotfl:I can but try....!

  • washing machine is on again! thought I had got to the bottom of the pile, until I found another bag in the car *sigh* !

    Back from Doctors, and short answer is she doesn't want me to come off my tablets to try new ones, to do that I would need to reduce the dosage and come off slowly and eventually be on none for a while before trying another, and to be honest I think she could see herself I would probably end up going nuts if I did that. I spent the entire time in there grabbing one child or another from the shelves, taps & syringes *ahhhhhhhh another sigh*

    She suggested I get a childminder/babysitter/ nursery to have DS2 for a few hours a week (he's the biggest handful EVER- like both my other kids put together and DS1 had hyperactivity!!!!)but I can't really afford it at the moment :( DD starts nursery in sept anyway so perhaps he may calm down by then (although doubt it, he's just a live wire and that's him lol)

    I've decided to write a list of long term goals that I want to achieve within a set time period. I did this when I was younger ..wrote 10 life goals, such as buying a house, getting married, having another baby etc, and i achieved all of them. So think it may be the push I need as feeling very 'in a rut' lately....Be back later as need to feed the little monkeys now!

    Ok back with my list of short term goals ;) have also done a long term list (for like 10 years) but that's not relevant at mo cos still need to complete short term list first & get debt free!

    Have finished all my ironing, washing & cleaning downstairs, ran out of energy to do upstairs so sat down with a cuppa to do this instead ;)

    Will post the goals in a seperate post!

  • Have ordered the shopping for next week already so I don't get tempted to go out & spend spend spend in the shops :rotfl:I've decided it's far safer for me to do online shopping until my spending urges are fully buried once again! :o!

    I went onto quidco and typed in Oc@do and there is £7.50 cashback as well as £20 off an £80 shop! :j So i have ordered tonnes of stuff from their basic ranges & stuff that was on offer including a KG of beef :rotfl:all for £62 after money off :j plus I should get £7.50 back still so will only have spent £50 something quid! I urge everyone to go and make use of that voucher before it runs out :money:!!

    NSD here, and LSD yesterday (had to pop out for rice & fruit!) so will update totals in bit! DH is home so we spent the day at the zoo with a picnic :money:all free :D and tomorrow DH is taking kids swimming in morning whilst i chill out before he goes away again for the week :(!

    Oooh and got a lovely pizza yesterday in asda in the freezer a pizza express one (i think????) only £2 or something and was delicious we had it for dinner tonight :) will remember that in future instead of pizza hut!

    Anyway kids are off to bed in mo so DH are gonna watch a film and drink some wine and relaxxxxxxx have a lovely evening all!!!
