Going to go shopping soon so we can eat tonight. Might try the garden when I get back. Any ideas on how to politely ignore the little girl, although maybe I can pretend I don't hear her if the mower is going.

i can see the dining room carpet - so I must be doing something right!

note to self - start looking for new carpet for said dining room......

oh it's quiet - DD1 is resting upstairs and I have the downstairs to myself.......BLISS

DS's uniform on the washing line and some dressing gowns now in WM, along with a fabric handag of DD1's - this is kill or cure.....

48 hours to the cricket season - OH hasn't given me the trousers to shorten yet...:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Replacement bin ordered ... and a garden waste one.. so I can trim my bush!

Oh, and I really should plan a budget, as things could be getting quite a bit tighter soon (DLA renewal has been submitted, and we all know what's been going on with them ) As it is just me & DD (plus the splats), could anyone give me a ballpark figure of what I should be looking at? I had The Bloke to feed before and never really worried about how much I should or shouldn't be spending. I'm not at the point of needing to post a SOA, as I know what I can cut elsewhere.

Here is a link to the benefit checker on here it should give you a ball park of what you can expect

Um.... I have a confession to make; it may be that no more Flying happens this week. I have zero spoons.:(

We didn't even get to go for a meal after all; I was so exhausted after our trip to town (highlight was Mr LW buying himself two new shirts for work):D that I wouldn't have been able to eat if we'd gone. Good thing Mr LW hadn't booked a table as he said we'd be ok to just walk in.

Oh well, I'll post and delete as usual, and try hard not to feel a total failure.:(

First - sorry you had to postpone your Birthday meal <hugs>
Second - we don't do failure on this thread - you post far more 'jobs completed' every week than a lot of us:o
Now go rest!:D

Really? Such a card exists? Some women expect a card when they're pregnant? Well, I'm gobsmacked.

Apparently so. To me, you just dont take the chance. I've known too many friends suffer miscarriages and stillbirths to send anything as inappropriate, but thats what she thought DD should have done.

What do you want a ballpark of Jojo? How much to spend on groceries or how much the DLA will be if it comes through? And sorry, what are splats? I'm confused, but it doesnt take much lol.

I have a job...for a day. I'm a poll clerk for the Scottish Elections. At least someone wants me

Waiting for Sky to phone me back at 2pm. He better phone back on time, I dont want to stay in when the weather is so lovely.

Oh and success with 3 mobile. They refunded my £23.39

pigpen

SSL.. splats = mogsters, pussceroonies, spaghettis, fuzzbuckets, flealines,

Jojo.. I spend about £500-£600 a months on scrannage for us 11.. more like £1000 since we acquired DS1 lol.. For the 2 of you i'd be aimin for a maximum £30 a week.. cos I'm tight!!! that includes their HRH's

Half the kitchen mopped... and I can't do any more just yet until my back stops hurting.. OH made a cuppa and has brought pest down so I doubt he'll be doing anything either..

my next HHC 2:30-3pm??????? Anyone in??

I've been missing for a couple of days. I took the boys to the National Glass Centre on Tuesday. They got to make fused glass coasters which they enjoyed. Yesterday I got some gardening done and started decorating the downstairs loo. It has a dark brown sink / loo and a dark khaki/ brown walls:eek: I've now given it 2 coats of white and hope to finish painting it tomorrow.
