    hey missy

    got my fingers crossed the OU will be kind to you :)

    I feel sorry for you being up that many times during the night baby only gets me up once then again about 6 which I class as morning anyways, but even thats hard enough.

    The wind here is horrible too glad I aint going anywhere today, going to have a no spend day I think unless OH wants to go get bread when hes back from work.

    Well OH is back at work now and is official a proper employee (as in not an agency worker :) ) which is brill news just waiting to hear if they will be giving him a pay rise from what the agency was paying him, fingers crossed.

    Baby has his injections tomorrow but i'm gonna cancel them cause hes still coughing alot and is really snotty so will pospone til next week.

    With aldi shopping we do quite a bit there as its only round the corner, I would recommend the cooked meats, gammon steaks, cheese, fruit juice i'll try to think of other stuff we get :)

    ok rang the ou as they didnt ring me back, i can have 30% of my money back, !!!!!! !!!!!!, but i had worked having to pay the full course fee into my budgetting earlier, so it actually gives me £200 back, so off the £1000 I am still to find, I now have £800. Better than a kick in the teeth I suppose. Have to continute paying my direct debit though so wont get the CC paid off this month :(.

    Right going to see if the car starts and go to john lewis.

    Speak soon

    That's better than nothing, fab!

    On another note, I was randomly thinking about your cupcakes! Not sure why but probably because it's involving food ;) Anyhow, not quite sure how far down the line you are, pics, portfolio or anything like that but have you given any thought to wedding fayres? just that I have been to a fair few last year and there were quite a few cake sellers, with samples of their cakes - perhaps a full wedding cake (or cupcake tower) on show and business cards/tastings. It is a good place for business, also the new thing coming up are these lollypop style cake things....we're thining of getting some to go with our evening food.....worth a thought if you're into making bits and bobs. Also having a lot of friends with children they are forever ordering mammoth amounts of cup cakes for parties....i'm sure you've already thought of all of this anyway so apologies for my yappings!

    P.S what area of the country are you in?

    Rambling has now stopped :p
