The final chapter before 2 becomes 3...

£35 received for babysitting last night, at least half of our shopping bill came back. It was an expensive one yesterday as we had to buy alcohol for our neighbour and OH's boss as Xmas present.

OH got paid on Fri so will have a look at the bank account, move money and pay towards Lloyds.
I wrapped the Xmas presents yesterday, now just need to bake 3 cakes and buy 2 cake tins and I will be done. I will need to figure out how to take the presents on the bike during the week, I have quite a few for work and friends.

I also went to the dr yesterday, need to go and have a blood test tmrw or Tues. My smear is due too so will go and do it next Saturday. OVulation stick was negative this morning though it's only CD11. Operation Christmas Conceiving is on!!!

Blood test done this morning. Fall out with OH as he said I should have taken half a day off rather than only telling them I will be up to an hour late. I don't like taking unnecessary time off work and happy to come but at the same time hate that OH doesn't understand this. He is happy to stay at home for up to 3 weeks if sick while I had only 2 days off this year:(. Aaaahhh. We also argued about his operation, he talked to his mate and now concieved that the way forward is a second opinion from a private dr. But he had 3 doctors telling him the same and I think another opionion is unnecessary. Men, you can never understand them.

I bought the cake tins and some cake ingredients, will get the rest tmrw and bake cakes on Wed or Thurs. I just realized that bec my brother is moving, it would be nice to put a hamper together for him with jam/tea bags/etc. Will take care of it over the week.

I need to make an overpayment of £700 today and need to call Yodel about my parcel.

I wish I had half your energy!

kavics17

Thanks beanielou, Red Bull is the answer!!!

Well, not really, only sometimes:). It helps though, I have a lot to go through during the day!

One of the ebay items posted, the other one hasn't paid yet. Grrrr.

I bought 24Xmas cards in Asda for 50p, will use them as gift tags as they are quite small:). I don't do Xmas cards otherwise.

I keep thinking about doing a hamper for my brother, not sure if it's necessary or not. I might see, will go to pound shop tmrw and maybe I can get him a mug, hot chocolate, etc, only want to spend a couple of pounds as I already bought him a book. I keep also thinking about getting OH something else other than the DVD, I feel that he won't be happy and I really want to treat him. Not sure what though:(. And I thought Xmas was sorted:(.

Hopefully getting some cuddles from my friend's one month old baby today, really would like to! Work is kind of busy but I'm not really in the mood to put too much effort in it:(.

Good luck Kavics, you've done brilliantly so far!

Thank you, Jwil.

Late start for me on MSE today, have been really busy. I saw an old boss this morning with her 4 month old baby and 2 older kids, it was lovely and made me feel really broody. It was a work catch up so all good but had a good gossip too. She really helped me to make sense about OH's operation, so all is good now and OH appreciated of her help as well.

Sold 2 items on ebay, £40 comes to my account and also have 4 listed which ends over Xmas. So far 10 people watching each of them.

My parents' package arrived yesterday, my mum is so sweet, she filled a huge box with nice food and presents. She made me cry in a good way, we won't see them till May so this was really important for her and for me too. My brother will have half of everything, he can't wait to taste all the nice home-made sweets and food.

I bought a manicure set for my brother this morning, OH was right that he really needed one so better that than a food pack. All sorted. Also no present for OH, I have no time and energy and he is the same.
