  • Today ive had to go to MrT to get a party present for tonight :) Also got some sausages, eggs and a few other little bits! Havent done a online shop yet so really need to get one ordered as running low on lots of bits....

    I got my £100 M&S vouchers today for joining sky (Bad for DFW but good for sanity lol) So will keep them by for the summer and will pay for all off the school uniforms (and should have some left!!) Also Im counting it as my start towards the £2012 in 2012 I want to make! So im off to a good start! Just need to get selling some bits....and do more surveys....

    Right best go and do some house work and wrap the present.

  • I didnt think about the food!!! Yummy!!! :):) I just thought the cloths side of things and thought it would def cover the school uniforms and new underware etc for the kids!! But will now treat us to some yummy food aswell. Thanks xx

    Have done the food shop finally!! Its a little bigger then I would like but Ive not done a proper shop for ages so needed lots!! Will see how long I can make the food last........ I got one of them bags where you put the chicken in and shake it as was only 49p to try as have heard they are yummy so hopefully it will be nice (and easy to just shove it in bag lol)

    Im nearly falling asleep doing the online shop so think it should be a early night for me.

  • Today so nearly was a NSD till about 5 mins ago :( OHwell will have one soon!! Had to order some milk for DD to have at school she is distrought she cant have it at snack anymore (They stop it when they turn 5 :( ) So have had to order her some!! Its till the 30th March and £9.90 so not too bad....Keeps her happy and healthy aswell so cant moan.

    Sorted the shopping today and cooked a nice Lasagna (+one in the freezer). Not really done much more. Been to Drs as had results in - Ive got low Feritine?? Levels so have to have some iron and retest in a few mths and DDs are clear! Which Im so relieaved about. But doesnt answer the problems she has been having so hope they settle down?

    Need to buy a booster seat for the table and DS1 as he insists on sitting at the table but cant hardly see his plate! Bless him.

    Done some surveys and am trying to see how many points I can earn on swagbucks which I was refered by Pipsmum :) Looks good and can earn some Amazon vouchers.

    Hi Mummy,

    I cant believe they stop the milk when they are 5, you would think that they would carry it on til the end of the school year??!! My DD went 5 in November but I dont think hers has stopped. Mind you shes not bothered for milk anyway so im not sure id find out if they have done that.

    Bless DS sitting at the table!! My DD2 still has her little booster at the table.

    xx

    What on earth is feritin???? Hope the iron sorts it out. Good news about DDs results.

    Still loving Swagbucks myself, some of the vids are quite good.

  • I no its funny how they stop the milk the day they turn 5! But when it comes to getting funding for preschool its not till the term after they turn 3!! Pain!! The school could really give milk to who they wanted as loads dont drink there milk but are getting the funding for it!! So now Ive had to pay for it and then more will be going to waist because loads wont drink it! DD1 was never bothered about milk at school so didnt have to do it for her but DD2 was so upset she couldnt have it!! Bless her.

    Feritin?? I dont know lol but its something to do with iron etc - its something like the cell which hold the iron or something but I know mine is low so need to take tablets?? Its ment to be over 11 and mine was 9 so dont think its too low but will keep taking them and hope my ulcers get better soon as they hurt!! Grr

    I like some of the vidoes aswell. Im still only on about 150 points as havent managed to do many surveys at the moe though!! Need to make more time but im to tired to do them in the evening!! Opps must try harder lol

    Today DD2 has another party!! (And still has 2 more this mth!! Costing a fortune in presents something must have happen 9mths and 5 years ago to make all these bdays!! :) ) Might pop to toddler group later so the little ones can run riot for a bit...

  • Hi, I hate birthday parties - so expensive, but I guess it's worth it for a couple of hours of peace ;)
    Did you return the charger? Just wondering if you had any luck with it.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,
