    Sunday, my favourite day of the week, because the postman doesnt work so cant deliver me any unexpected bills :D
    Had the best night sleep I have had in ages last night so feeling quite good today.
    Need to update my ticker, have paid another £10 off this morning, not much but its all adding up!

    Went out for the thai meal for my friends birthday last night. Was a really nice meal but felt very weird being away from poppy. She did OK for ages apparently and then started getting hungry so my Mum and Dad tried to give her a bottle but she got really worked up and upset but fell asleep eventually. Was very glad to be home with her.


    Oh bless her. OH keeps saying he knows I'll be a nightmare about leaving the baby when hes born, keeps saying he'll be 10 before I leave him with anyone else :rotfl: hope you enjoyed your meal!

    * sneaks in *

    My name is Swinstie and I have 4 tattoos (including the so-called Tramp Stamp)! I did want to get some stars on my wrist until the tattooist said 'what like Jordan's?' - eh no thanks then, cos that really is a tramp stamp. Sorry but it kind of p*sses me off to be judged for having a tattoo on your lower back, but each to their own, if someone wants to cover there entire body in tats it's up to them, what difference does it make just cos one is on the lower back.

    Morning all! What a beautiful day out :) We are off to the park with Max soon. Hope everyone else has a nice day planned.

    It's gets easier to leave them Wendz and once they are Max's age you they are so independent and can point or say what they want so it is even easier to leave them :)

    If someone is seriously judging you because of a tattoo you have, they need a swift round kick in the face. Along with everyone else who jump judges someone based on tattoos. I know I called it a tramp stamp, but I'd still call it a tramp stamp if I had one. Doesn't mean I think people who have ones are. Sorry if I upset or annoyed you Swinstie, I really didn't mean to! x

    Good work on the list Dinah! Considering how huge it was you did very well to get it down to what it is now!

    What props are you ordering for the photoshoot? I'm just nosey and excited about the business stuff! :D

    Hope good weekends were had by all. Dinner and sleepover at my friends on Saturday was lovely. I dominated Just Dance, I just can't help being awesome! ;) Got home yesterday morning and OH was still in bed, once he got up and started talking I realised that he was still drunk as he'd had a few 'quiet drinks' with his friend... and got to bed at 2.30! Boys, eh, you can't leave them for one minute! :)

    My job for this week is to sort out my trip to London with Mum, she's paying but I'm in charge of finding the hotel and getting cheap tickets off my friend who works for Virgin trains. She's prepared to pay £120pp as that's what she was going to book from the travel agent for a bog standard hotel so I'm going to kick the a$$ out of that and book a 4* Top Secret hotel for less, and tell her that the money saved is my contribution! ;)

    Morning kids, hope everyone is OK! Ugh, I feel like money is spiralling out of control at the mo - got a speeding letter on Friday so that'll be £60 down the drain - I'm SO annoyed at myself as I'd seen the cameras along that road about three times last week but that night they must have been lurking behind a parked van or something because I didn't spot them at all - am kicking myself for being such a speed demon (in my one litre Micra) smiley-rolleyes008.gif

    And my car insurance is coming out tomorrow, and I've got my holiday coming up in a few weeks which is almost all paid for but will need spending money. BUT I did just have a win on a scratchcard I found in my purse - one whole English pound! But do I save it or invest in another?!

    morning all,

    You are doing well on the list Dinah!

    Glad you had a great weekend Birdie, got to love got to dance. Good luck with the London planning, i love stuff like that.

    Tete - arghh about the speeding fine, really bad luck. When do you go on your holiday? Oh and i would reinvest the pound haha.

    OH is off for two days so will be nice to have him around. We are off to the lake district next monday so need to start getting organised.

    What a bummer about the speeding ticket Tete! Have you got the option of taking the driving course (whatever it's called) instead of getting points on your license?

    Good news about the lottery win though, when one door closes another opens and all that! :D

    Have you got plans with your OH (and Poppy of course!) whilst he's off or are you just going to enjoy having him run around after you?!
