Memorygirls - The Matrix Re-inspired

clairewop

Does any one have a large tesco near them? they are selling fleece blankets £1.25 in different colours.

Would anyone get me some next time they go? I don't have one by me.

Sounds good Clare! Never go to Tesco here though, sorry

Great going MG!

WEll, we're back a day earlier than expected from our camping trip Rain, freezing wind, inconsiderate drunk campers playing late night bad pop music, and children throwing balls at the car all conspired to make rather more of an endurance test than a fun trip, so since we were only 30 miles away from home, we've given up and are going to have Holiday-At-Home instead

Just have to make sure we don't spend the entire weekend on the computer now...

Bah to inconsiderate campers & their offspring Cheery :mad:.

Sorry to hear about the car Mrs Hicks, hope they extend your Spa vouchers.

I'll keep an eye out in Mr Ts Claire but it isn't a large one and lots of the bargains never reach it to us.

Well Matrix, fingers crossed we may have solved the ceiling of doom problem :T. Yesterday we coated the offending surface :mad: with very expensive :mad: Dulux Trade Primer Sealer. It is oil-based and eugghh the pong :eek:. Howerever it didn't react with the old wall-paper paste and held the paint in place - no bubbling :T. Today, we painted over one coat of silk and so far so good - no reaction :T. Just need to wait until it all dries out and see if it needs a second coat of silk or what. So not out the woods but loooookin' goooood :j.

Eeeeh what a life - there were the great and the good sipping champagne and watching the Monaco Grand Prix from their luxury yachts and here I am with a cup of tea... painting ... again... :rotfl:

Yeuch, thats nasty Cheery.

Have got my freezer tonight and I'm SOOOO chuffed. It will help me to eat better and keep costs down, especially as mum wants to give me £50 to start me off with filling it!!! Whoop!

Freezers are worth their weight in frozen "whoopies" Souk.

You guys have got a Bank Holiday don't you? Same ole same ole up here - DS2 has got playgroup and he is really excited for some reason. I guess a weekend with his Mum and Gran cleaning carpets wasn't as exciting for him as it was for us :rotfl:

Got a Mentor call soon - then I think it is freezer fun throughout the day - filling up with yumminess for my guests arriving on Tuesday.

Mum made an Approved Fod Order yesterday - she has been looking at my food budget and wants to be able to do the same. So it would have been rude not to "add" a few things. So I bought £26 worth of goods RRP £117 - so will need to have a quick cleanout of the storecupbard so that I can do a proper "Stock Rotation"

From memory:

Red Kidney Beans
HAricot Beans
Pinto Beans
Spelt
Couscous
Bulghar wheat
Soup Mix
Barley
Tomato Sauce

All good stuff - but Mum also topped it up with Scone mix, cake mix and some kiddie stuff too.

But the reality of it is that we seriously have enough in the store to run us through the winter 2011/2012 - so let the bargain cooking begin and the saving for DS1's travel fund commence.

Big Frog for the day - fitting the door on the guest room.
Little Frog - chat to PLO at High School about a precentation she wants doing.

Sounds good MG! :T

Well, it's p*ssing down here, and I'm VERY GLAD we came home yesterday :rotfl: Going out for breakfast with the last of the holiday treats money - that's what it's there for, right??

Then computer OFF for the day and I'm going to take a leaf out of your book MG and get things done! :j

ClootiesMum

4 items sold - over £250 (OK pennies over, but still over....)
Now - what next????

Are you allowed to sell Toras?

Morning all

Just catching up with all the gossip as I broke my laptop a couple of days ago (the csreen now looks like a spidersweb:eek:) and couldn't get onto net. Have snaffled DH's laptop for a while.

Baby is now three days overdue. Can I ask you all send positive vibes to get it out, I'm really bad at waiting. It's like waiting for someone to deliver something and being the last one of the day.

Have a lovely day all.:)

Memory_Girl

Oh Parsnip love - I had hoped your "radio silence" over the weekend was because you had your "hands full" IYSWIM.

Mega vibes coming your way - especially as I have spent the weekend decluttering baby stuff. :eek:

I guess unless Gabriel Byrne arrives on my doorstep this afternoon proposing undying love and marriage there will be no more little gentlemen in my life. Face it though - in a couple of weeks I will be 42 and thats getting on a bit for doing the baby thing all over again

So the question of he week is "what shall I be when I grow up?":rotfl:

Not a bit of it! I was nearly 42 when DD2 was born.
