    Jakes-mum, if I promise to be on my best behaviour, then please may I come to Lily's party?!? It's going to be GREAT!

    Course you can!! Ive got wine bottle gift bags for each of the kids which they will get completely empty and then they have to go and win their party bag stuff :rotfl: ive just designed most of the signs for the front of the stalls and got to go over me mothers to print them off on her big colour printer (oooo it helps to have a mum who used to own a printing business :rotfl: :rotfl:)

    Now the only thing is I take no responsibility for any weight you may gain due to the amount of prizes that are sweets :eek: me thinks the other parents are going to be cursing me on the way home :D:D
    I've got the January blues really bad at the mo, started last Thursday and feel really peed off and angry with everything and everyone, close to tears all the time..... I'm on HRT as had everything whipped out when I reached 40... maybe get that checked out. Or it maybe that I have a small ebay business 20hrs week, work 30 hours in an office (new computer system, trying to work old & new system, until everything is transferred over, have a stroppy teenager doing her re-sits, hubby that does nowt unless I ask him too (goes to work comes home lies on the settee all eve & tells me to chill out!)........ :(

    Bless your heart, ive got a hubby like that, though at the minute he doesnt even have the excuse of a job :rotfl: I suggest a big stick for poking him . . if you wait a week you can have the fishing pole DH made today for Lilys party :D

    Might be worth a check on your meds but it is a really icky month its just so bloomin long! and dark, and cold, and and and . . . . well . . . ugh!

    Afternoon all! No more debt busting to report - but today has been (and will continue to be) a NSD for me! I haven't taken my weekly allowance from the cash machine, and I'm tempted to see how long that can continue before I need to buy anything. I did a mini shop last night for fresh food, and I'm just meal planning to make sure I have everything I need until the weekend.

    Thanks to whoever mentioned myfitnesspal, I have spent some time today updating everything and adding some recipes. If I stick to my meal plan I will be under my calorie allowance for the day :T. I'm not joining the weight loss challenge on here, as I mostly want to maintain weight I lost before Christmas. I have been starting to slip into bad habits (such as wine every night :eek:), and this way I can save up the calories / go to the gym to earn more, so that I can treat myself at the weekends without feeling guilty!

  • Have decided that Ebay selling for piddly amounts is a waste of time. Sold loads over weekend, cost me two days in time and effort. Total sales £150 plus postage. Total paid to me after paypal's cut £150. Total Ebay fees, £25. Total postage £25. Total stuff I bought on Ebay while I was sat waiting for listings to end *cough* £60. :o

    Total profit for two days work -£40. *sigh* So very pointless.
