Awww Pennywise you must have needed the sleep to fall asleep on the sofa like that. Glad you had a good sleep and are feeling better today.

Well done making a start on the Christmas shopping, sounds like a good cheapish present xx

THanks mtg, managed to stay awake this afternoon:).

Have taken some fruit out of the freezer and will make a crumble in a bit, will have it for pud tonight with custard.

Surveys are really slow today, hardly any, just typical when i'm at work and have loads to do i get an inbox full of them and yet when i have loads of time to do them i get hardly any, think thats called s*ds law:rotfl:.

:j I am a child free zone:D, well untill 3.30pm when i need to pick DD up from stables, Ds is at his friends for the day and hubby is picking him up on his way home from work.

So i've spent the morning doing houseworky jobs around the house, chopped sticks for the stove and filled up log basket, cleaned out guinea pig hutch and put piggies in their run in the garden as its such as beautiful day, also means they get to munch on free grass;), very mse my G piggies.

Have done a load of surveys, sold an item on ebay for £1.45 (better than nothing), packaged it up ready for the post office.

Going to have a cuppa and a cheese and onion pasty and then tackle the ironing mountain:eek:.

pennywisepoundstupid

Wow just short of 2 hours tackling the iron mountain:eek:, halfs been put away will put the rest away once i've had a well earned cuppa.

Sausage casserole for tea, with potato wedges and veg, think i might just have some left over soup though.

Morning Penny

OH ironing .... I detest it. There is always a bit left to be done in my basket

Hope you enjoyed the few free hours you had yesterday.

My YS (aka 6 ft baby:) ) in bed this morning. He feels horrendous. So no school today for him. Will let him sleep as much as he can and hopefully he will be the better for it.
Eldest home tonight from UNI so feeding 5/6 so have to sort that out too. Probably do some sausages veg and mash.

Feeling a bit better today. Antibiotic hitting eventually so hope to do something around this house

take care Penny

Hi Pennywise, sounds like you got loads done. Isnt it funny that when we are child free we fly round doing all the jobs rather than having some time to ourselves! xx

pennywisepoundstupid

HI ebayqueen, hope DS feels better soon.

HI mtg, always manage to get loads done with out the kids around,but why is it it takes me hours to get the house spotless and sparkling and the kids are in the house 5 minutes and its trashed again :mad:.

Never got chance to post yesterday, OH had a day off so we decided we would have some family time and had a really nice day, went swimming in the morning, and a nice long walk along the seafront in the afternoon it was such a beautiful day, we also had fish and chips as a treat for lunch and they were really yummy:D. We were all exhausted last night, had HM soup for tea and both children in bed and asleep for 7pm:).
Made £9 on ebay yesterday on a BIN and £3 paid into paypal from my$urvey have left it there for the time being.

Today both children have gone to their grandparents for the day, picking them up later on this afternoon and then going to Oh aunties for teas as it OH cousins birthday, for which i have just written out a cheque for £15 couldn't really think what to get a 14 yr old boy.
Nipped into LIDL after dropping children off and spent £26 but i got loads of fruit and veg, some reduced sausage rolls, reduced gammon joint, bottle of wine for tonight and sweets for trick/treaters, then nipped into Tesc* for catfood as its currently BOGOF, a birthday card, pumpkins, yoghurts and also got tub of ice cream that i had a voucher for to get free, ice cream should of been £3.99:eek:, so spent £8.71. Picked up a parcel from sorting office, took library books back and bought some wrapping paper off the market as its only 30p a sheet.

Have not long got home and unpacked everything and i'm now enjoying a toasted teacake and cup of tea:D.

Right better get cracking on some surveys.
