            Morning everyone
 very blustery here and a bit of drizzle, bring back the sunshine.
 Os today will consist of dw & wm, hoovering bedrooms & stairs. Will change beds too. Will do some decluttering & try & list some items on eBay. Will go for a run with woofer later. Don't feel very motivated today, think the weather makes a difference to my attitude.
 Flutterby - hope the swelling goes down by Saturday, and that the dentist sorts it tomorrow.
 Sistercas - hope your job is safe.
 Juliegeorgina - well done on the weight loss.
 Bitsy - sorry your dh didn't get through, hope you feel better soon.
 Uolypool - hope your ds feels better soon.
 Jackieg - hope your ds feels better soon too.
 Enjoy the rest of your day. Hugs to anyone that needs/wants one. Take care.

            Good morning everybody,
 Hugs to all:grouphug:. Windy here but bright so I'm hoping my washing will dry on the line. Planned a day of cleaning and decluttering but look at the time!:eek: Think I might have to give up MSE as my Lenten challenge (or at least find some way of limiting it) Nah, not going to happen!

            morning all, how can you be nice without chocolate 
 anyhoo it's dull and windy here gonna have to give in and use my dryer since we had a bad night with the twins acciendentwise so have all there sheets to wash, plus one of ours because we ran out of there sheets, must be cause there sick cause they've both been dry for a good 9months- a year i added up one of them including last night had 7 accidents yesterday 
 so os wise it's WM/DW/BM then maybe some ironing depnding on how good they are, still undecided about tea i need to decide soon tho incase i need to defrost something, theres no meat in my fridge which is common here but i sometimes wish i didn't freeze everything cause they i could wait and decide at 5, i might just stick to my meal plan and make quiche as planned, even tho we had eggs for breakfastDEC GC £463.67/£450

            Good Morning Everyone! I've only just got myself dressed - but I was up and posting rubbish on here at 3am today!! I now realise it's always when I'm worried or have loads on that I get so wakeful at night...I seem to be perpetually in that state just now! I did actually drag myself out at 6.30am as I remembered I had to turn off all the blowers at church as the decorators are removing the huge ceiling to floor plastic sheets today and didn't want blasts of air shifting the dust too much. When I came back I decided that I needed my bed a bit more as I hope to go up to visit DS who is in hospital (again!) later today.
 Bitsy - so sorry to hear your DH didn't make it to the next stage - these things always really knock you back.
 All those with the dentist to face - good luck! I do think toothache and earache are the two worst things for making you feel really miserable.
 JG hope your lad is OK - these things are all part of a boy's growing -up! My friends who had daughters never seemed to have the falls and scrapes the boys had!
 uolypool - just seen about your son's result - good for him!
 I seem to have signed up to both Lenten challenges so finishing OS style projects and decluttering and trying to be nicer! Hmmm, maybe I should put some sticking plaster across my lips - I'm too fond of blurting out just what I think - especially to poor DH!
 Washing is drying in TD ( I forgot I'd washed yesterday - but it smells fine) and DW is busily whirring away. Need to use up some slightly wonky parsnips and carrots in soup soup for lunch. Haven't thought as far as supper yet, but DH probably has.
 Hope you all manage good days today. Take care!Resolution:

            uolypool & jackieg, hope the DSs feel better soon
 sistercas, fingers & toes crossed 
 Morning all. I am one very unhappy little lady... I have my exam today and after begging the flatmates to be quiet when they got in last night what did they do? Ignore completely, apparently the screaming and loud music from 4-5am was excusable because our neighbour's boyfriend was being horrible and they couldn't get him out the house and he was about to beat up my flatmate for trying to get him out... Sorry, what? I know this guy, he's not exactly big or tough and there was ~10 of them, grab a limb between two and simply carry him out. If you really need to come over and freak out, DO IT QUIETLYYYY!!!!!
 Anyhoooo, off to my exam soon, very nervous as I know so little!! But I just want it over so I can focus on the mountain of assignments I have! Will be very little OS today, eating batch cooking again.Living cheap in central London :rotfl:0

            quintwins I found when my son was smaller putting pants on him helped stop the bedwetting. It sounds mad, but at the time he would be dry in a nappy, wet without one. I realised it was the warmth and security which stopped him wetting the bed.
 Maybe worth a try? worst case... you have an extra item of clothing to wash xWe spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!:dance: Mortgage Free Wannabe :dance:Overpayments Made: £5400 - Interest Saved: £11,550 - Months Saved: 240

            Hugs to all of the poorlies and ones with worries.
 Uolypool.... that's great news for your son. You must be so proud.
 Not up to much today. Have been sitting engrossed in a library book this morning!!!! Did lots yesterday and frankly, dh being a grump and he's away off to work, so I just thought I would sit down and do nothing this morning!!!!!! Just CBA!
 Anyway, not sure what I will do for tea tonight, have a good meal plan and have been sticking to it, but now dh is going to be here for dinner with us and have to do something that I can make and just heat his when he comes in. Maybe a pasta bake or something else easy.
 Turned out gorgeous, if windy, here today. Forecast was for rain, but the sun is shining!
 Did too much baking over the last couple of days and have to stop!! Have been losing weight slowly, but need to do more. Have stopped grazing, which is amazing for me and that's what makes the difference.
 Haven't weighed myself, but was a good size 20 last summer, and now am easily in a 16, so I must be doing something right. Would love to be able to wear skirts in the summer without having to wear shorts underneath to stop chafing IYKWIM!!!!
 Anyway, gonna browse for a few more mins then must get off my bum and actually do something! LO still in her jammies, and she will need to get ready for nursery soon.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
 (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away... :D:D0 :D:D0
