    You're doing well to get so much sorted on one visit :j Well done :j



    :o:o:o I couldn't work it out myself for a moment ... what was I thinking ????

    Then I realised it was just a thing about "what is this life if full of care, we have no time to stop and stare".... you know the one ... I mean, I love watching cats, but not everybody does, so nearly everybody loves squirrels, happy little things.

    Thats all :D

    Hope today goes well :kisses3:


    Thanks for explaining that I would never have worked it out ;) and yes I do love watching squirrels we don't get many here there used to be a lot outside mom's flat in Birmingham so much for living in the country :(

    Today went surprisingly well 17 in Sunday School and we only had to do a ballot for one of the parts and there was no arguments so all parts cast we are short of a Joseph as the original one has decided he wants to be a shepherd now :) but surprisingly Joseph is a very minor part so I am sure we will find someone. We did manage one complete run through of the play which I was not expecting to do in the time available and we also did a minute's silence which for a group of quite boisterous young children I thought was brilliant I was very proud of them :D

    OH is tired as he has taken three Remembrance Day services today.

    and Lewis won the Grand Prix :j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    so a pretty good day.

    I'm glad you *are* getting to do the Nativity Play this year, but three services is a lot to do for OH ... your workloads are reversed from those of most other people!

    Was it soo wrong of me to cheer when Seb went off on the first lap:p

    I'd have preferred it to be JB, but I'll let you have a bit of success for Lewis.

    As a mom you can appreciate how fantastic it would be to celebrate your birthday by seeing your son win a GP!! ;)
    One step at a time ;)
  • OK I am not dead but only just :eek: been feeling really rough and still not 100% :(

    Who says children don't save you money :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: as a result of my little boy being off school today with a bad cough I have had to abandon my plan to go "window shopping" :o on manic monday for a new suite it may only be postponed until Friday though :D

    Today I have submitted my big Mr. T Christmas order - toys for 3 children and presents for 11 others grand cost to me £4.85 :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    I can collect it after 4pm tomorrow in my local store so that is a huge shop sorted.

    Although I did nearly lose the will to live submitting the voucher codes :mad: but I still have a few vouchers left :D so I am very happy about that

    A few things to add to the kids bits that were out of stock but with the money I get back off people for presents ordered for them that will cover those :)

    So the only presents left are for my big two and I more or less know what I am getting just want to leave it until next week so that I don't have to pay for them until the end of Jan :money:

    I am still trying to get amazon vouchers but it is so slowwwwwwwwwww so to give me motivation I have decided amazon vouchers and survey money will be my Kindle fund a treat for me although it could be some time yet ;)

    Hope everyone is coping with life

    that sounds like some bargain shopping..hope you feel better soon
  • Still feeling rough but I have checked my bank account and made all payments due this month and I have £450 spare so that has gone off the CC so that makes me feel a lot better :beer:

    I can't believe that at this time of the year I have spare money it is just unheard of in fact at any time of the year :o I am so close to paying off 75% of the olympic challenge and being under £8k :D
