Thanks for all your good wishes for the baby, off to see her this evening. It had to be my first day back at work for 6 weeks today or I would have snook up there earlier! I will take lots of photos so will share them later. BBird and BitsyB of course you can be my friend!
Congratulations. Want to see photos!:DGC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500 -
Oh Camelot can I be your friend too?
Im back from appointments and they were very stressful:( Anyway done and dusted so just need to forget them and move on with my life.
Trying to relax now and hopefully get a good nights sleep tonight (well we live in hope)!!I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0 -
Howdy all,
Having a little MSE related skive at work againIn fairness, I do work proper hard to afford a swift skive but still.
I made a really nice dinner and lunch (for two) from a pack of Aldi frying steak last night and a jar of seasoning from a Chinese supermarket, some salad leaves knocking about and a pair of part baked baguettes.
We've got some new fuel for our stove (a super duper version of antracite) and honestly, the way it burns, I could have cooked myself by standing about a foot away.
This is cheaper than the old fuel we used and so I'll be chuffed come winter although I couldn't sleep last night from feeling like I was in the Sahara but at least we had hot water to wash up with.
Tonight, I'm setting up a household notebook folder that someone in a meal planner thread suggested to try and help me get proper organised and help give me a bit of motivation.
Monnagran, thanks so much for that quote, it's a cracker. I'll take your advice and stick it pretty much everywhere :money:And definately next to the picture I have of a paramedic jumpsuit on the fridge. The idea of that outfit has me doing lunges and squats all the time!
Camelot, congratulations on the granddaughter! How exciting and what a lovely name.
BeTheBee, thanks for the welcome. Much appreciated.
I hope everyone is well and if not well, have a big mental hug vibe from me
Much love,

Congrats to Camelot, BB's Hubby, and everyone else who deserves it!
I am home, walked pup and went to waitrose, i love their reduced items, I should have spent £12.71 but the total was£6.64 - got a 50 piece party platter of scotch eggs, sausages and sausage rolls for 99p! instead of £4.99 - ideal for snacky bits for OH's lunch.
Dinner tonight is some reduced chorizo styles sausage whirls with mini potato thingys - i've completely forgotten what they are called.
Was going to clean the bathroom, but things are still trying to dry in there.Annual Grocery Budget £364.00/£1500

I may throttle OH soon! Have just had to retrieve lots of recyclable rubbish from the kitchen bin, wash it and put in recycling bin. Have only told him 6 times now that the rubbish collections changed, and now green wheelie bin for normal rubbish will only be emptied once a fortnight. He has always been terrible at putting tins and glass out for recycling, but needs to do it now or we will be overflowing with rubbish by Tuesday!RIP Iain

Hi Folks
Feeling a little weary today, but in a nice way. Had 10 hours sleep, and could have slept on, but DH woke me. :eek::eek:
Added some photos to FB. Packed the Freezer with LO's and had some for the meals too. Will only need a little fresh stuff this week.
Camelot Congrads on DGD, maybe we need to get your added to us all on FB. PM me if you wish and I will suggests other OS friends for you too.
Take care all - Going to have another fairly early night.
