I really do hope today has been better already. I totally understand difficult moody OH's. Mine is very much like this - he storms off occassionally like a little boy in a huff but obviously its all my fault. He wanted to borrow my car this weekend but didnt tell me until i about 2 hours before he would need it - i had already planned to do things - and also i had just filled up petrol tank, and knew he wouldnt replace it even though he was going on long journey (3 hrs in total at least). He couldnt understand why i was not keen, or why i needed any notice??

They soon come round - hopefully your OH will too.

Also well done on another 1lb lost

thanks slm, glad it's not just mine! bl**dy men eh!

Today has been a bit better, i still feel so ill (sinuses playing up really horribly)

But have ordered all 3 kids main pressies for xmas today and need to pick up tomorrow. Got ds1 a tv/dvd combo to replace his old one that is 6 years old and falling apart lol was half price in argos sale :T so saved £130 there.

Got DD a dolls house (wooden) in argos sale, half price, £22 so saved £22 there!

Got ds2 a monster remote control thing (posted on the grabbit board if anyone is interested) was £25 and saved £85 :j

So spent £177, saved £237 :eek: i think if my calculations are correct and need to pick them all up tomorrow freom Tesco/argos stores! WIll take the money from our holiday fund and hope to put back into it from money from tenants at end of month! :T:T:T:T MY First year where i have been THIS organised and also where NOTHING is going on credit :j:j :A

Thanks for that - just ordered the house for my DD for her birthday so she can put her sylvanians in it hopefully. Thats her sorted:)

debtfreewannabe321

it looks fab doesn't it lol i can't wait to have a play

slm6002

yes and such a great price - hopefully her sylvanians will be the right sort of size for the furniture too. I have enough bits and bobs that i have collected over the past few months to do her birthday and xmas - i love being organised for these sort of things

debtfreewannabe321

yeah me too! i'm organised but never usually by the summer hols lol! I need to find LARGE hiding places now may have to ask mum to have it all until december!

slm6002

true i hadnt thought about storing it. My pressie cupboard is almost bursting. Am making some bits and pieces again this year so need to do them - material all cut ready, but getting the will to do them is what i lack at the moment

debtfreewannabe321

same here i have 5 sock monkeys, cut up, sewn into limbs/bodies and sat lifeless waiting to be stuffed! Will have to see if i can bribe ds1 to do that job i hate it so boring lol x

i Bought DD 3 JLS dolls from tesco were £19.99 each reduced to £7.50 so would have been £22.50 but little bro used his discount card so I only paid £20.17 for 3 dolls worth £60 so they are put aside for xmas as she was given another one for her birthday by a friend lol

debtfreewannabe321

oooh have just picked up the pressies~! DS1 is the largest box (22inch flat screen) and then DD very nearly as big for the dolls house! I can see that one taking a few hours to put together on xmas eve lol! DS2 is also a bit awkward so i tihnk it is going to all have to go in the loft or to mum's house. Def not enough room in my pressie box haha!

Spent £29 topping up shopping from last week. Hoping to make it last a bit longer before i get a proper shop so hopefully that £80 from last week will last 2 weeks! will update sig in mo as making dinner first!

Feeling much better now too still have a cold but i think it has escaped my chest this time. I usually end up on steriods to help my breathing whenever i get a bad cold so that's good i don't need it as that won't help with my weight loss lol! Chicken & cous cous for dinner as too tired to do anything else!
