  • Hi all NSD 13 today. WE have had bad news OH Dad is very poorly he has been diagnosied with cancer. OH has gone into his shell and won't talk about it. Worried about OH and the children.

    i'm so sorry to hear that.
    i'm certain your husband will talk when he's ready. it may be that he needs time to process or that he's hoping that if he doesn't talk about it then it may go away and not be true?
    whatever his reason, just keep letting him know, in little ways, that you are there for him.

    hugs to you all :A

  • No NSD for me yesterday. I kinda got a bit hungry and had an LSD, got a bargainacious pack of 5 bounty bars for £1 for the 3 o'clock snack attack at work. Oops.

    Will be better behaved today ;)

    Good Morning

    Donna - sending you virtual hugs and 'stay strong' vibes. Just be there as much as you can for OH and the kiddies but remember to take care of you too x


    Managed to snaffle NSD #14 yesterday :T Should be, if all goes to plan, another one today but I am really down in the dumps at the moment so huge quantities of chocolate might be on the agenda :o

    Have a great Wednesday x x

    butdoineedit - thankfully I have some smallish savings pots online that I can raid to keep me going (money I put aside for the car insurance etc) and repay next month (last year I spent the whole time borrowing and repaying myself!), as I've now realised that I had to put petrol in the car on Monday etc so I am now going to be officially -£59.89 for the rest of the month! Ho hum.....so today, I am going for No. 12.

    I'm also panicking and stressing out a bit as we're moving house soon and my mortgage will be higher, and how on earth am I going to cope!?!? Oh well, ebay here I come again ;) Thankfully OH is putting money aside for our spending money for our fabulous holiday to his family's holiday home in Italy this summer, as I no longer can - the flights and car hire are all paid, phew! Moving house is more expensive than I remember, I seem to have been paying out here, there and everywhere for things recently. This will be my 'forever home' though, so not all bad :)
  • Spend day for me yesterday,just some groceries and got some toileteries (20% off).

    I don't know if I'll manage one today as I'm going to a book sale.I'll report back later.

    Good morning all!

    So sorry to read of your sad news Donna -((((hugs))) to you and family, it's a tough time for all.


    Just catching up with all the posts.
    Today I am having a pottering day. Have some ironing to do and I'm going to make soup before the veg gets up and walks out of the fridge of its own accord.
    I am also going to parcel up the fleabay items that I know will sell prior to the end of the auction so I can just get them labelled and posted pronto!

    Tonight I am meeting some of the girls for a church history workshop thing so that will be interesting (and fun I hope!)

    Hope NOT to spend anything - payday on Friday T.G. this has been a looooooooooong month!


    Have a great day everyone!:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
