BM Wow! What an inspirational post and may I just say what a kick a£$ fighter you are also! :T Thank you for sharing your journey with us. :beer:

Missy Hinge is learning to pace herself and we have finally found a meds combo that appears to help her keeping going. She felt flat on her face at the park at the weekend when her knee sub-laxed and although a little uncomfortable she found the whole incident very very embarrassing:o:o

Missy Hinge is in the top 5% of her academic year coming first in 3 of her exams and in the top 3 for the other 2 subjects :A working at 18months above her targets for her age she is a brain box and a clever cloggs :rotfl:
however sometimes with her "brain fog" she often compares herself to the village idiot :eek: The only negative comments in her school report was her "bossiness and tone of voice when talking to other children and antagonise them" :rotfl::cool: ...... she is known to be sharpe tongued and short tempered when in pain for that I am also very guilty off!!

Today has been a "doing" day..........

Mr Hinge is in the garden, mowing, strimming and power washing....... he is like a bear with a sore head today so it is probably the best place for him

Myself and "team Hinge" have attack the house......

Superman was incharge of putting all the jigsaws together and sorting out the mega blocks from the cars :rotfl: a job he did smashingly and strangely with no whinging

Missy Hinge was incharge of gathering the washing and loading the dishwasher

Master Hinge [STRIKE]terrorised me[/STRIKE] helped me wipe all the doors and paintwork down on the landing and hall way, he swept the floors so I could steam mop them then hid from the hoover whilst I did the stairs and living room :rotfl:

I have thrown some blue stuff down the loo and a wet wipe wash around the seat and the sink The bath has had a spray and a rinse off and the dining table is now a dining table and not something resembling a junk shop I have ironed everything except the crumpled up shirt that Mr Hinge left for me again yesterday :mad: and the smalls have run their legs off running them up and down to their wardrobes!

The house of Hinge could almost be classed as "tidy" :j:beer:

this afternoon we have painted money boxes, paper plates, hands and faces :eek: and their tummies are full with picnic lunch (eaten under the table of course :rotfl:)

Today life in the House of Hinge is all good! I've even got my shorts on! :o only thing to do with jeans that wear a hole in the leg..... the frugal in me couldn't bare to throw them away!! Today I am the tubby girl in the short shorts :eek:and I don't care less! I don't intend to inflict them on anyone in the outside world unless the neigbours catch a glimpse out of their upstairs windows but then that would serve them right for curtain twitching anyway :rotfl:

Mrs H........... who wont have milk bottle white legs for much longer

:beer: Mrs H ta for reading my diary

Loved your catch up :A:A:A:A these are for Superman, :j:j:j:jthese are for Miss H and ;););) Master Hinge

Will reply to Miss Hinge tomorrow but sending a big hug to her, falling over is just so :mad: and it doesn't get any better, my last party piece was in the middle of the pedestrian high street....... When my secret purchase of more craft stuff spilled everywhere not sure. What was more embarrassing me being picked up and brushed down or retrieving all my goodies) least it wasn't my "B@@ts bag with ST's lol.
When you get to my age you laugh but at 10 I cried xxxxxxx

I am awake at daft o'clock because I just can not sleep. And for once it isn't Superman keeping me awake.......... Insomnia sucks!

Verbatim

Wee done on the weight loss. I hope you got back to sleep.

Payday which would be :j:j except I'm on SSP so it's more :cool: and :eek: and then lots of this :(:(

I am however glass half full and appreciate all the bills are paid and we are warm, clean and have full tummies.

The Hinge house are tightening their belts once again! ive done a big shop today for £82.35 and aim to keep our shopping budget at £350 this month :eek: this may seem generous to some but we roll on £100-120 a week here so a huge cut back for us!

I bagged alot of ys fruit and veg today and the freezer looks relatively healthy with mince beef, diced lamb and chicken and several bags of veggies. 5 pots of mash spuds in the freezer YS down to 30p a tub, emergency supply for Superman and for the nights I can't face peeling another spud :rotfl:

with the help of my willing apprentice and master chef superman, I have turned my whoopsied 5%fat mince £4 for 750g, 48p tub of mushrooms, 35p bag of carrots, 65p 3 pack peppers, 35p bag of diced turnip, 35p bag of parsnips, £1.20 15 FR eggs in to:

8 portions of spag bol sauce
6portions for chillie
2 portions of veg-less, bean-less chillie for fussy 'un
6 portions of root mash to go with sunday lunches or to top a cottage pie
6 slices of crustless veg quiche
2 7" chocolate cakes and 6 cupcakes

the 43p stirfry will be tomorrow's tea with some freeze chicken and cupboard noodles and 3 mushrooms I rescued from Superman's chopping skills (yes I let him be in charge of the knives :eek:..... he did amazing and all my veg was cut in to evenly sized and shaped pieces :rotfl::rotfl:!)

I currently have 12 cobs and 6 GF cobs in the oven and a 2lb loaf proving..... I seemingly have a cupboard full of flour for just occasions when we are money poor!

food for this week looks like:

Thursday Chillie and rice, fresh cobs
Friday Chicken noodle stirfry
Saturday Spag bol
Sunday roast chicken dinner
Monday Lo chicken...... maybe a curry or a risotto or chicken egg fried rice
Tuesday minted lamb casserole, mash and veg
Wednesday toad in the hole, roasties and veg
Thursday piri piri chicken and hm wedges

Lunches will be hm cobs with crisps, banana custard, yoghurts or jelly

breakfasts we have some bacon, the remaining eggs, a cupboard full of cereal and a over flowing fruit bowl.


entertainment wise we have 1 tank of fuel this month and a small amount of ££ for the odd ice cream the rest will have to be free! Merlin passes, park, Tesco vouchers and bike rides i think we can stretch to 1 trip to kids club at the cinema if we take our own drinks and sweets.

It is Master Hinge's birthday in a 32days time and he wants a bike, not just any bike but a fire engine bike complete with siren! I had a look today in the shop and saw it was half price and down to £70 so ordered it using some vouchers from surveys and raided the birthday fund for the left overs :money:it scanned at £63 so even better :beer:

Mrs H who now has a mountain of washing up to do :cool:
