    Yayyyyyy!!!!

    Mary Mark II has been ordered via Amazon - and thanks to a donated gift voucher I have also managed to order DS1 two Club Penguin books that I hope arrive before Friday (he will be 11)

    These have been sent to him from "The Matrix Aunties"

    Just having a lunch of Homegrown roasted beetroot salad (with a crumbling of feta) and a barley salad. Yum!!!! - and my jeans are really feeling better on.

    My Mum has had a win on the lottery (£40 Yaaayyyy!!!) she has decide that I need to do a Approved Food shop with the money and then split the goodies with her (usually I order up then give her a packet of the anything I have more than one of)

    Well in the end I spent £43 - but that did include 25kg of chapatti flour and loads of beans and olives. So my store cupboard will be full to the gunnels for winter - yup I'm already thinking about winter. Real price was over £130:eek:

    The only things I still have on my wish list is another big bag of green lentils, evaporated milk and some more popping corn.

    Even better - everything fits with my "healthy eating" plan (SW under any other name really) so this weight will be gone once and for all.

    I definitely could do with the decluttering challenge - sooooo much STUFF in our house :eek:. I have sorted quite a bit out already to go to the chazza shop or on Freecycle but all I've done is put it in bags and shoved it in the cupboard :o.

    Hopefully the challenge will be the kick up the bahookie I definitely need. :T

    Healing hugs and vibes to those that are poorly or need them. Hope you sold lots Claire. Well done Groatie Queen on the new look - sounds great. Hi Clootie's ma was wondering where you were.

    Just to cheer you up - conversation was held with DH last night that shows we need to declutter
    Me - I know what you got me for my birthday was lovely but I was hoping for perfume so I didn't have to buy it at airport
    DH - I got you perfume
    Me - But you didn't give it to me
    DH - oohh eck - where is it then?????

    I've suggested the obvious hiding places & still no perfume - good reason to de-clutter then :D

    Fantasia, as ClootiesMum said - please don't let him stay on the basis of his costs, think about your needs in your house. I can help with benefit calculations etc for him if you need any help - just holla.

    Currently hunting for a corner shower caddy that screws on to the wall (suction ones seem to fall off) and won't rust....

    have you looked at John Lewis - they do some nice chrome ones. Not cheap though! We bought ours from there - it's a two tier one.

    Sorry to hear of your situation Fantasia.

    Fantasia, I was going to give you HSdoghugs_24270.gif but thought you might appreciate this: HSpuppylove.gif You are a wonderful person so just please look after yourself.

    Ok there is one thing I want to say: Holy Mo!!! That treatment was worth 10 councelling sessions. Feeling a bit frail and very sad at the moment so going to be gentle and nurturing to myself for the rest of the day.
