    Afternoon all

    It's lovely here today. Been and sorted out my phone (will be here tomorrow) which should save me anything from £5 to £10 per month :j

    Signed neighbours passports in my official capacity and had a cuddle with baby :)

    Need to sort HI and Gas and electricity out and that should be it for a while financially for a while!

  • hi, im planning on joining you- but im going to just read this week before starting next week-just so i know what to do and stuff- prepare myself. Im really needing the motivation- i had a baby 4 months ago and im not going back to work- so my role is homemaker and i really want to do it- but im so lazy im struggling, my house isnt a mess- well living room isnt- i manage to keep living room and kitchen tidy but not sure they are clean if you know what i mean- and with a baby i need to get my act together- i have done my own lists before but put them off so hopefully if i do it on here ill feel like i have to do them

    Helloooo everyone!

    Just popping in on my lunchbreak to catch up with the thread before there's thousands more posts later :)

    Happy birthday to Cat _party_

    To everyone with DD's & DS's that have been bullied - Just wanted to say I think you're great parents making sure they stick up for themselves when needed. I wish I had been more like that when I was younger, & hope any future children of mine learn to stick up for themselves a lot sooner than I did!

    I have sold lots today - mind you no-one paid yet...

    been to town on the bus (and remembered to buy a dayrider thus saving 40p) and moved some money to pay for the clutch.

    I've had a non-payer on e bay claim her accounts been frozen so she can't pay...funny that - because she's bought and paid for stuff since she won mine...

    gonna have lunch now

  • Hi Claire :wave:

    On being bullied - when I was younger I seemed to escape the worst of it from other kids. The worst bully I knew was actually my brother :o obviously much easier to deal with for my parents since it was at home etc, but he used to blackmail me and threaten me and stuff if I told my parents. Scary stuff, the last time I remember him being nasty was when I was about 15. Thankfully he's grown out of it now but it was really very nasty when we were younger. He almost drowned me once :eek:
