    Glad the children enjoyed walking. How far are you from the school?. Mine moaned ALOT :o.

    What about making a birthday cake for hubby. The children could help and all you need is a victoia sandwich with a candle in the top :rotfl:. Just an MSE idea xxx

    I keep thinking that about my petrol - Think I am seriously going to have to up my petrol budget from £20 to £30 per week.
    Every Thursday my petrol light comes on and I beat myself up because its not lasted long enough. Think I expect miracles sometimes :).

    How sweet of your oh to want to be home and not on a session :D. Enjoy your birthday evening. Love birthdays but we haven't got any in our house until July, so abit of a wait .

    Take care

    If you ever saw/eaten my home made cakes, you'd understand why I buy them...the most I do cake wise with the kids is the packets :o

    He's going to be a while yet though before he gets home, the last I heard they'd just got to the pub but the kids are having a treat and waiting up for him lol
  • Yippee its Friday :j:j Brand new month and brand new me :D

    Brand new me because I'm restarting my diet, so that includes cutting out alcohol and other snacky things that I like to indulge in :o and upping my exercise a lot. I've just checked my weight and I'm a little over 11 stone :eek: that is just not on!

    DH had a good birthday and the kids enjoyed eating birthday cake before bed.

    Checked the online banking and I forgot that the Council Tax was coming out so that's messed up my figures a bit. Will have to keep a close eye on things over the next two weeks until DH gets paid.

    I'm based at the other school again today, I said to my manager that I think I need to get there at least half an hour earlier in order to get organised.

    No Flyladying for me today, I just cannot be bothered.

    DD is at a friend's house after school today.

    Need to try and get the online shopping sorted and order placed today.

    Have a good day x
  • hello new purple :)

  • Morning PMO2,

    :T Its February. A nice short month :rotfl:.

    Good luck with the new February diet. You can do it - What is your target weight?. Do you have much to lose?.

    Glad you mentioned the shopping order, I have mine to sort out too. I have been getting mine delivered Monday nights as its cheap delivery. But its really tricky the delivery not arriving until 6pm on a Monday when I really needed it earlier.

    Will have to look and see if I can get it delivered sooner.

    Have a great day xx
  • I received an email this afternoon from one of the jobs I applied for and.....I HAVE AN INTERVIEW :j:j it's on the 12th February at 9am :eek: EEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to have to get a few things done to me before then; I need to dye my mop and have it cut and I need a new blouse and trousers too.
  • Hi Lurvly and Steph :)

    On the diet front, I really need to lose at least 2 stone; I don't feel happy in my frumpy mummy body and would be happier back to my slimmer self...although I have been a lazy toad for a while and dieting hasn't gone well in the past.

    Haven't done the food order (yet!) as I've had quite a hectic day all in all but it will get done this weekend.

    Oh and if and it is a big IF I get this job I will need to work out the budget so it works in our favour and get us out of this mess quickly and get the pots built up etc.

    DD is at her friends house and will be home soon, she was sooo excited bless her! I said to her this morning that we'd invite her friend and her other friend home one day.

    Very glad February is a short month, I'm on count down to the 15th DH's payday :D

  • Blooming useless!!!

    Have just checked the banking and updated the spreadsheet and we aren't going to get through the month!!! I'm going to have to transfer some money over from the savings :mad::mad::mad:

    Two steps forward and a million back!

    At least all the DD's have gone out so all the bills are paid.

    We ordered a pizza last night as one Domino's had a 50% off offer and two I couldn't be bothered to cook...that doesn't help my diet either!
