Bright fine morning windy and very cold.........sorted out loads of laundry, whites tonight......

Nothing much planned might make some shortbread biscuits when I eventually get down stairs.....shopping tomorrow for a small top up fruit shop, then big shop next week for the holiday weekend.

Morning all!!!

I’ve missed posting on OS!! Really enjoy reading everyone’s posts and picking up tips!

Finally catching up with my washing!! Yay!!! :j My washing bin has been getting fuller and fuller and fuller!! So bad that it was starting to overflow!!:o Managed to wash all whites, coloureds and darks last night. Just got towels and sheets to do now which I’ll do this week, towels tomorrow night and sheets on Friday night I think. Wanting to get it all up to date before Christmas, and hopefully can keep on top of it!! (In theory!!):p

Working at the pub tonight, not too keen, will be mentally busy- Crimbo meals etc. Manic!! And feeling tired today!! Went to dad’s last night for dinner, bro had a tag fitted yesterday, so at last we can now stop to-ing and fro-ing from court. And he won’t be in prison for Christmas. He has got a curfew with it too, has to be at home between 6pm and 6am every day. Things are much better now, *phew*

Think I’ll put the Christmas tree and decs up tomorrow!! :xmastree: Not sure yet… Pretty higgledypiggeldy at the moment!!! Finished presents for boyf’s sister, boyf’s brother, boyf’s mum. Need to buy for my dad (watch), boyf’s step-dad (book), my bro (shopping after Xmas), boyf’s nan (clip on earrings), boyf’s step-nan (dark chocs), boyf’s sister-in-law (DVD), boyf’s SIL’s mum and dad (set of coffee stuff)!!! So all the ideas are sorted, just the buying of it all!! Oh and need to sort out the lovely boyf!!! Bought one thing and we’re off to Brighton on Saturday so will get most of it then, got a budget of £20 each!!

Need to write the cards too!!! I think I need a pukka pad to write a load of lists in!!!!!!!!:rotfl:

Brekkie was yoghurt
Lunch is HM broccoli soup with oatcakes, carrot sticks and peppers
Dinner is JP with beans and cheese

This has taken me over an hour to write!! Keep getting interrupted!! Cor, what a long post!:p

Have a good Tuesday all!!!

x:Dx

Oh yeah, went food shopping last night and was in budget!! :j

absolutely shattered today. both cats woke us up at midnight when they managed to open a door, thunder upstairs and then jumpon our bed. Dh then chased em around for a bit and got them back downstairs. Then Charlie had us up from 3 onwards. He's either got a cold or is snotty from all of his crying. Either way, cue one clingy baby.

My plans for today are visiting my friend and her baby, then home to try and tidy up a bit.

DH has promised me he will be home earlier tonight as i can't remember when he was last in before ten, and tonight will be the only night this week. I am desperate for a leisurely bath and some chill out time. I am starting to slip back into my depression, and i'm really fed up of being responsible for everything and being alone. Don't think that's unreasonable when DH is slogging his guts out for someone who is incapable of organising his business properly, and hasn't even paid DH yet for this month (due on 1st.)AGAIN! I really feel for DH as he is only at home to eat and sleep, and then he also has to squeeze in trying to help me. Totally impossible situation.

Anyway, going to go before i bring everyone else down to where i am. I will feel better if i can get some sleep.

Michelle, xx

I just jumped in without so much as an 'excuse me' (sorry!)
Actually I shouldn't still be on the computer when I have tons of things to do but anyway... I have been hovering around the O/S board and anywhere else that looks interesting and am trying to stick to a budget as my food spending has got pretty undisciplined. I have three kids aged 11-15 so we get through plenty of food <g>.
Tonight is probably pizza, not because it's moneysaving but because my friend always comes round for coffee after school on a Tuesday and its easiest to have something I can just shove in the oven. She does baked potatoes for the same reason.
I am sure you have all heard this a hundred times before but my family are such picky eaters... if I could just throw together a casserole it would be so easy. Well, I could, no problems, but who would eat it? Only DH. DD and I are veggie, DSes don't like anything where they can't identify each separate ingredient.
Also I'm trying to eat up food we have in store and I'm doing ok with that.
I have been reading the recipe thread and it's given me some great ideas. Now I just need to set aside time to choose one and make it!

AussieLass - D'OH :doh: - Thanks for that!

I've edited it now I meant SATURDAY 10TH FEBRUARY

**purpleprincess**

Saturday 10th Feb sounds good to me!!

How late would the trains go back to E/B do you think?

Bargain_Rzl

Wellllll....

Why don't we make it a "teatime" sort of event - 5pm? - so that people coming from a distance can get home?

According to the National Rail Enquiries site the last train to Eastbourne isn't till 00:05, but there are trains once an hour at xx:47 until 22:47.

(in fact, ignore the 00:05 one anyway as you have to change at Hayward's Heath - the xx:47 ones are all direct )

Day is getting marginally better. Have found DS car docs!!! OH is not exactly warm and loving but is talking to me, or rather sms me.

Just made cup of tea and sat down to find that I still have cup of coffee from earlier - which to drink first?

Should be doing some work, have some casual work from home but can't seem to be able to get into it! Also should be doing the accounts for OH business have 3 months worth of receipts to go through but I think it can all wait until tomorrow.

Will go and make a beaded dragonfly and try and destress!!!
