Benbenandme's Next Installment ...

benbenandme · 19 May 2012 at 1:13PM

I've been to Tesocs and collected ds birthday present and his school uniform, they're all safely squirelled away

I have also been to a local £shop and spent £6 on some sweets, a nail buffer (was £6 in Boots :T), 6 mail bags for ebay stuff, some thankyou notecards and some bath sealent (again much more in tescos).

I need to deliver my sisters birthday present later on but for now I'm having some chill time on the sofa with the laptop. The kitchen is just about tidy, the lounge is too, my bedroom isnt too bad but is currently disappearing underneath all the drying washing, ds's bedroom wont take too long either, so I decided I'd leave it all for now and worry about it later instead

In the last hour I have locked in to a new electric deal, I compared them all and the only one that was any better would only save me £3 over the year, and as Scottishpower have been fine for the last couple of years i decided to stay with them

I have also sorted my new contents insurance deal for the next year, £1 a month more than I'm currently paying but £30 to come back from quidco

Had quite a chilled out day today, ds did his homework this morning and this afternoon we've been out in the forest with friends

Dinners on now, then its bathtime and early nights all round after a late one last night watching the footie

I sold 2 items on ebay tonight (total £16 :T) but one of them lives in Italy and hasn't asked how much postage will be, so now I need to work out the cost of it and see what they say :cool: Why do people not ask before bidding??

I've also just done a very healthy tesco order for delivery tomorrow night. My holiday is getting closer and closer and I seriously need to shift some weight, I'm currently back up to 11 and a half stone

and I want my weight to begin with a 9 when we go on holiday

so, no more excuses, I'm a fat lump and I spend far too much time sat on my fat bum mooching online. So, here we go again ...

Evening

A lovely warm day here today, then went to see Dad after work. He was his normal self, then went to Mums for a bit and am now trying to persuade ds to get to sleep :cool:

My ebay item arrived today and I love it, still haven't decided which outfit to wear to this weekends wedding though

Nothing much else to report, today has been a nsd though :T

Ben Ben I have your nasty cold and cough now too, so far cost me two days wages and as I was due to be on a training course yesterday I am hoping they wont charge me £185 for that too! :eek:

But as I work in the motor industry nothing would suprise me!

I am seriously hoping for a miracle recovery by tomorrow. Think I collected my illness when I was on a course last week

Haven't been around a bit recently ... not had the best couple of days (recurring theme on my threads!!) ... I had another call from ds school yesterday to say he was being excluded, he'd punched a girl

He was at home for the rest of the day and today too. He's also gone to stay with my best mate for a few days, she's fabulous and much firmer with me and is determined to knock him into shape behaviour wise :T It feels very strange for me here but I am also glad of the break.

Today was ds first day back at school, and he has had "the best day he's ever had at school" according to the deputy head :j:D:j:D His class vote every friday for the person they think has been the star of the week, and he won the vote based on todays behaviour :T :T They have reworded his certificate to say Star of the Day instead, as they couldn't give him S.O.T.Week due to this weeks events, but the staff are all thrilled with how hard he tried today

not half as thrilled as his poor Mummy was

Tonight I have been to visit Dad, now I don't know if I should mention this but theres a guy who works there and I've noticed recently that I am disappointed if he's not working when I visit

Anyway, he was working tonight and we chatted loads and loads, he asked if I'm single (knows I'm not with the crim anymore), but I think he has a girlfriend, well he had a new one a couple of months ago so I assume they're still together ... It was really nice chatting with him ... watch this space
