  • Yes night time is definately slowest. I got some free night time pants from raking round online.
    Trying to shift that debt!
  • Cheers SBO, will see what I can find.

    DS2 is better healthwise but has been a real little toad today. He has been pushing boundaries and making things worse by laughing when he was told off :mad:. DH has also been very snappy today and I was frazzled by bedtime!

    Lost half a pound at fat class. Better than nothing. Also won the raffle for a free week next week :j.

    Wrecked so off to bed shortly. Night all Xx

  • Thanks DFW, DS2 has been much better today. His [STRIKE]bribe[/STRIKE] reward for using the toilet properly for over a week arrived today. He wanted a certain skylander that is not available in stores anymore, so the prices are a little crazy on eb@y, however I found one on am@zon for £15 and thanks to sw@gbucks I had vouchers so got it for £5. Well worth it when you think what I've saved on nappies so far and he's done so well bless him, no accidents since the one on day two.

    Today has consisted of DH cutting the hedges and me picking up after him (who needs the gym? What a work out!), Tescos, I had drs appointment, DH had a drs appointment and then my Sister has been for tea. Chilling on the sofa now!

    Great use of a day and very busy day too!! :p

    Yeah it can be tough cleaning up after the OH when they're in the garden. Why are we always the ones stuck with the rake/brush/shovel?!?!? Seems they get the easy jobs like pushing a lawnmower!! :rotfl:

    Very well done to DS2 :T The money saved will make a huge difference! Yay!!

    Bucketing here today! Got absolutely soaked on the way in to work :( Thankfully had an extra pair of trousers and socks in my drawer!! Whoever has stolen our sun, can we have even a little bit back please?!

  • Oh no HAW, the rain sounds awful. We just have clouds here but rain is forecast tomorrow -just in time for DS1's Jubilee Gala day at school :mad:. I've just found out he has to dress in 70's gear :eek:.

    Mad neighbour next door was out cutting his hedge before 7am this morning :mad:. He's a keen gardener so I think it was to teach us a lesson for making our garden look neater than his yesterday. DH also did our neighbour's hedge on the other side so mad neighbour would have been livid!

    DS2 has his nursery visit this morning for starting in September and is so excited as it's at DS2's school. Bless him though, I've just heard his ask the cat if she "want to kill bad guys with me before I go to nursery?". :rotfl:

    Weather is pants! :( *!!!!!!* goes our walk this weekend - again! :( Unless we stick on the waterproofs...

    70s gear?? Oh fun!! :D

    Neighbour prob was upset your garden looked better than his, albeit temporarily! Men are weird!!
    We're in a semi. Once in a while our crazy neighbour will have a party and be up screaming and playing loud music until stupid o'clock. OH makes a point of getting the vacuum out as soon as he wakes up the next morning, just to make a point. Mature, huh?!

    :rotfl: Ah the imagination of kids! Gotta love it!! :D

    I did my garden yesterday and it was the best in our row, for all of 2 hours. I got back from the school run and the neighbour on the left was out there with her hubby, her mum & her dad cutting, weeding, planting flowers. Now their's looks better than mine :( Hardly fair I only had me they had 4 of them! I heard them coming in as I was going out though and I heard the Mrs say hmmm you need to cut the grass to her DH! I guess her being on her due date and probably hormonal he thought it best to get straight on to it ;) lol xx
