Well done on your ebay, clothes, decorating, cooking and general hectic day-to-day life!!! :eek: :D

Gee's am I glad today is coming to a close:eek:

Work has been hectic..... school run x 2 torture of the most horrendous kind:( super man has lost his :A today

Huge pan of bolagnaise cooking, kidney beans in to soak for thursdyas chillie, will cook it tomorrow and let it steep. Yummy

current Ebay sales stand at £34 the sold items will be collected tomorrow evening :T paypal funds have been transfered for the weekend sales. has parcelled everything up ready for a trip to the post office tomorrow.

Have found a beautiful p!nk bed for Miss Hinge on the local selling page have bartered my hardest and got it for £40, alittle more then I wanted to pay but it is immaculate has 2 under bed draws and she loves it and her high sleeper bed is selling for £34 with loads of time left and 18 watchers so fingers crossed it pays for itself.

Tonight will be filled with finishing of a pair of mittens for Baby Hinge and starting a set for Superman, complete with elastic and threaded through his coat to hopeful stop them going walkies!:rotfl::rotfl:I'm turning in to my mother :eek::o

How is everyone today?

Brrrrrrrrrrrr! it is blinking freezing.

Missing in action for a few days...... did you miss me?! :rotfl:

I'm snotted up to the eyeballs and have been for the last few days, lots of money making still going on in the Hinge household. Ebay galore and local selling pages mean we have shifted some more [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] treasured belongings.:o Today Mr Hinge is clearing the loft ready to paint for miss Hinge and hopefully getting her bed set up there for tonight. Superman really does not like sharing his bedroom with anyone let along " him, he's a Gurrrrrl!":rotfl: gotta love him

Meal planing is going well, although I have seriously under estimated the amount of milk, bread, ham and yoghurts we get through :eek: Have kept all our spends receipts and will tot up what's left of the grocery challenge I set myself. I do believe we have spent a small fortune in tissues and decongestants.

So budget wise, another 8 hours over time at work this week, to be taken as time owing which will help in the summer holidays and not affect any benefits we have. Have range water and council tax to arrange payment over 12 months instead of 10 :jCashed out £20 more in survey vouchers which have paid for Baby Hinge's new blind and quilt. Birthdays this week have come from present stash bought in boots at 75% post xmas! and cost less then £15 for all 3 :j:j will leave some money for a few birthday :beer: with my bestie!

How is everyone else getting by? Stripes I hope "The King" is looking forward to easter and you have [STRIKE]back up[/STRIKE] plans for the holidays!

I missed you :beer:
:j to the money making.
Not much planned for Easter because of work but definitely a day out to Sea Aquarium, that should keep the King happy. How about you?

We have a few trips booked with the local Autistic society a trip to the flicks to see a stage performance then a trip to cadbury world. All free or minimal payment which is good, first time we have been with the group and a little worried about how Superman will cope with 3 coaches of autistic children and their families :eek: I'm sure Mr Hinge will take them over the flyover to the cinema for kids club one day as well.

Other then that I'm working the rest of the holidays but do get a nice 4 day weekend over Easter where we plan to finish clearing and sorting! My bedroom resembles a war zone and Mr Hinge stood on my leg climbing in to bed last night:cool:. We have everything set to go to the carboot sale but the field is buried under a foot of snow :eek:

Today I feel slightly less death like and slightly more man flu-ey, I'm on childcare duty whilst Mr Hinge cracks on upstairs, I can live with that! Baby Hinge is stood by the patio door giggling at the bunnies hopping around in the snow. They are glad to be stretching their legs and unlike Superman don't mind the cold snow one bit!:o

Dinner today is not at all organised, I have nothing taken out the freezer defrosting so it will be Emergency pie in place of the usual roast. That of course if I can find the kitchen under the mountain of dirty pots and pans, Mr Hinge has been on cooking duty and the concept of washing up/loading the dish washer is not one he is ofay with!:eek:

Progress is slow on Miss Hinge's blanket and replaces by woolie mittens and bobble hats..... how do I put pictures up here please? I need a idiot's guide I think!:rotfl:

Stripe does The King like the snow?

Good morning Mrs H.
Sounds like a very productive Easter hols for the Hinge family. No snow here but very cold. Mr stripes is at work today and we are dossing indoors so it looks like I have to be brave and get the arts and craft out. It would be easier just to throw it all in the air for it to land on the floor whilst squashing all the bits into the carpet and all over Missy Stripes hair :T whilst trying to stop the King taste testing.
The King's taste buds are okay with snow so he likes it!
Hope you get over the flu soon.

on indoor days we let superman play in the bath, give him jugs, seives, bottles anything with some bubbles and let him play, keep it topped up with hot water but he is entertained for hours!

That is awful being hit Mrs Hinge I hope your back is feeling better soon. We were rear ended in March 2012 and Jan 2013 and both claims are still ongoing! Stress is my favourite buddy

We have bought a small fish tank for the King hoping some pet therapy will help if not hope its good Fen Shui:j

How is Babv Hinge's room?
