Introduction, MF wannabe

Football tonight, decided not to have a fish and chips after so will make something when I get home. Decision mostly down to the OH taking the last of my notes for her haircut y'day. Still for the best.

Going to be praying for an Arsenal win tonight too!

Got a few more items to sell on ebay, did sell DS's old bed but the lady never showed up to collect. Very rude, a message to say they had changed their mind would have been the very least.

Just made an OP for May of £2000.

DD3 is now at nursery and seems to have settled in well.

Three weeks and counting for summer hols! Still not entirely convinced it's going to be that relaxing given the number of kids mind....

Thanks GG.

Been a bit quiet on here on late, just been so busy at work in the day to post any updates and by the time I get home there are just so many house jobs to do.

Decorated the Lounge at the weekend, it was only 2 years I think since I did it last but the kids grubby fingers had made a mess of the wall.

This weekend I have a work mate coming over the trim our trees and bushes which will be a couple days work for him.

Just made another £2000 OP for May, so I am now only £3000 off my OP limit for this year. I'll start to stash the cash ready for January so I can make a bumper OP at the start. Might look at getting my guttering done, however I have had a look and if I can continue to OP £2500 each month then I'll be MF in just over three years compared to the 14years 4 months I have left on the mortgage as it stands.

Might have to slip in a few big purchases soon though as my car is starting ti show rust and a few other issues, I will make it last as long as possible mind. Guttering still needs doing but I keep putting it off. Fence at the back is rotten but there is a hedge so its not urgent.

A quick update.

10 days to go until we jet off to Spain, looking forward to it and all the latest reviews have been good. Kiddies are excited too so should be a nice break.

Had some bad news my remaining Granny passed away over the weekend and step fathers Dad died the day before too. Gran was expected but the step fathers was a complete shock and totally unexpected.

DD3 is gaining weight very slowly and is going to have to have tests to see if she is not absorbing milk correctly. She feeds almost 24/7, OH has tried to bulk her up with formula but being dairy intolerant has made it tricky. Even special formula she won't touch, so not sure what to do really. Six weeks in and she still looks like a newborn.

Works still very busy so I should reach my target next month or two.

I'll probably watch the last 20 minutes on football focus otherwise I'd be too nervous.

Losing it on the last day to Spurs would put me in such a bad mood haha. Newcastle have been so poor or late I just hope it carries on for one last game :beer:

Off to watch Walking with Dinosaurs with DS tomorrow, I've had a look on youtube and it looks pretty impressive. He loves everything dino related so he should be thrilled. I get to skip a kids birthday party too so even better. I don't mind kids just so long as they are my own :rotfl:
