    Oooo did forget to say I had a win delivered yesterday :j :j A replica euro 2012 football, shinpads, kids football boots, sports bottle and bag :D Which means apart from the 'big' individual presents, and some stocking stuff for DS and DD, they have both had their christmas for freeeeeeeeeeeeee :j :j I also used some of the toys r us giftcard win for my mum to buy my nephews xmas pressie so when she gives me the £41 back thats £41 toward DD's big pressie anyway (unless I manage to win a tv before christmas :rotfl:)

    I thought you said your life was boring!! The postman hardly brings me anything exciting. Some days none of the post is for me :(

    Bonglecat please post the menu here. I'm on a diet (again) so would love to have the excitement of looking at a menu and choosing what I would like without the calories that come with eating it

    OMG just realised my life is boring too :eek:

    I can't do that. We get a lot of post for the church as DH is treasurer.

    Any personal mail however, I leave lying around where the baby can reach. If he accidentally rips the envelope in his excitement to eat it then it's not my fault if I accidentally read it while putting it back in the envelope :p

    Oh-oh, just had e-mail from Next inviting me to the VIP sale! The temptation is just too great :) In justification I'm absolutely desperate for some clothes as I've never really liked shopping and am so fussy, and what with being sooo skint for sooo long and with my weight going up and down like a yo-yo I really mean it when I say I've got nothing to wear! In fact it's quite embarrassing that my husband has more clothes and shoes than I do!:D

    Kerri hasn't been on the site for a while, does anybody know if she's okay, is anybody in communication with her?

    She hasn't updated her diary since she was due to leave Canada. Mebbe she heard the weather forecast of weeks of 30 degree sunshine for the next few weeks over here and decided to extend her stay indefinitely, with a plan to look up old MSE friends *she says hopefully*

    Morning all!

    Hubby is off to London today for those concerts so I am a free woman til Friday teatime :j No having to listen to him snoring, the bed is all mine (well my half will be, the cats will all jump on his half tonight :D) no picking up after him (though he denies I have to do this :p) the tv remote is mine (bet there's nowt on tv though:() and even more I had a massive cooking session last night to make ready meals for myself and he washed up all the pans etc so all I have to wash up each evening is a few bowls, plate and some cutlery :T, I hate washing up!

    I may actually get a good night's sleep too :D.

    Jake's mum, I know how you feel about lack of payments to talk about. I only have one CC left to pay off and usually only pay it on payday and end of month if there's any money left over in my account.
