Now youve said it, you have to do it
i fully expect you on the list innnnnnnnn . . :think: . . . 5th place :T
Im not feeling as bad today but have been taking pain killers, knew I was bad yesterday as I couldn't finish me roast dinner :eek: something that has never happened in the history of me eating solids
. Unfortunately this is the downside of no immune system, once I get one thing they all come along like buses 
Beat you tooooooooooooooooo it! :rotfl: We did the big spring clean last week and ebayed all the carp, only got DH's shed left and he is very reluctant to let me in there :rotfl: Im begininng to think hes housing a family of illegal immigrants down there :think: :rotfl:
It is DH's birthday today . . 42 years old
, he is currently at work and has been bouncing around for a week to know what I have got him that could take 3 months to sort out
. Been out and wasted £1.79 on a birthday card for him as the £1 shop didnt have a husband one
I really begrudge paying that kind of money for something that 90% of recipients only want for the hope there is money inside :rotfl:.
Have got him a little cake and also 4 blueberry muffins and the kids have spent the morning writing and decorating a label each to go round their present for him (a home made jar of retro sweets for £4.30 rather than the £15 a shop would want
)
Also had a good clear up so the house is lovely and tidy now
It took 3 months to sort out a little cake and 4 blueberry muffins??!

Do you know how excited I am? My fabric has just arrived from America!!! I can make my incredibly geeky quilt now
well once I've washed and dried the fabric. Hmmm I wonder if I could use a hairdryer to speed up the process 
Today is an allocated spend day, so I've spent £30 on purse frames, keyfob hardware, and cotton webbing so that I can make keyfobs and coin purses from the 8 gorgeous 1/2 yd fabrics I also bought.
Oh and I've paid off another £1 to the credit card, and and and my expenses have been approved so I shall have pennies in my account on Thursday to *fingers crossed* almost pay off the c/c

Well finally I can see the light clearing. Just had a look at the council tax and it says I should be a band C rather then a band D.
Just been very happy to update all my debts with the bank and got a well done from the bank. Feeling so amazingly positive today.
A biut bummed out as payday is on a Sunday so hence they shift it to a Monday which is a pain.
I'm starting to feel super organised this is a bit scary!0 -
Hi all, thank you for the kind messages. Can't focus at all on work today. OH is on holiday this week before his OP so hopefully he's tidying up round the flat a bit.
Jemma - Our friend loved the flat, she can't wait to come visit again.
