Susan - that is brilliant love - should do one for the man who has everything!!

Give you all a laugh - just did a George order online, got some pjs and oneies for Miss Hoodie, paid, put my debit card on the table next minute - Bailey is walking around the coffee table head in air, cheeky grin with a I've done something I shouldn't! tail wagging - he'd only took the card for a walk and chewed it through.......

Stops me spending - as sure he knew that I had poundland on the list for 2mor, after argos!!

Rang the bank - 3 to 5 days for a new card - the poor lad was laughing,,,

Back to top

£17 instead of £35 - doesn't look a bad set for that price.

Morrisons - Couldn't find an "offer on the week on website" maybe there be an update 2mor, but after all the fun and games with trying to buy the tins last week, once its on TV and after Monday - I think your running round like a headless chick.

Sunday nights craving......
Boiled Eggs, soilders, and a packet of Pork scratching (thou they took me 30 mins to find) I'd brought 2 packets on Fri, knew there was 1 left and I had to have them, they'd fallen down the fridge - shared with Bailey........

The trouble is took the tablets afternoon - forgot them this morning, - all wanted to do is drink - gone thru 2 litres made up squash (the juice just colours the water) everyone laughs at me for having it so weak.

Suppose to been going to pictures - going to use free tickets from Sweet Sunday promo, - but thought it was simple request - but no you either print or prebook, which pleased Miss Hoodie as she didn't want to see "Sunshine on Leith"..

Off to bed now......At last...... Sweet dreams xxx

Lol at Bailey. OH loves that dog {on the Tvs } face who chews the card on the bank advert. He laughs every time . Bailey must have known you were spending to much.

Boots offer of the week looks good. But decided not to buy anymore toiletries until I allocate the ones I have. From January sales

And as for mor reasons - I gave up after the sweets. But I think it will be the biscuits. Because they were selling a box for £12 foxs ones. I even asked were they misprinted, because they were £4 in asda. So I think they marked them up to put them down to two tins for £7 ... Who would pay £12 ... M&s are £10 and they have tins that are gorgeous and musical . And they go on offer half price .

Had a good day yesterday sold some craft things on fleabay and bought a bathroom unit and a rug with the money for DD

Missed the free listing day though lol

morning all

hope everyone is well
finished the little bunny i was knitting for an expected baby, it was sewn together and had a dress made at the weekend.
christmas cake has been fed
took one of the door name things round at the weekend so thats out of the way.
got sisters and nieces birthday pressies to wrap this week and hopefully my familys christmas stuff then i can take all that over mums at half term (i need the space) ready to sort more out for others.
started knitting a baby cardi last night for the stall (my neighbours asked if ill be selling any) and finally started the appliqued christmas stocking for my friend - i fear ive left it too late as it looks very labour intensive, Dh thinks about 100 hours and says it wont be finished for this christmas!!

found this link to one on eblay so you can see what it will hopefully look like - it cost me £1 for the kit so well worth it. the rainbow im working on is right near the top (you can see what DH means about how long it will take now)

our morrys had limited the tins to 2 per shopper on saturday as people had been taking loads and they were running out.

hope everyone had a good weekend and is achieving lots

Hi everyone, I have finished one cushion, cant put piccy till after Christmas. Nearly finished the other one too, just needs the side seams sewing up. We had a good sort out of the presents and we are nearly there. This is what I need to get still

Couple of small toddler safe cars to go in one fabric house.
Couple of older boy small cars to go in other house.
Couple small girly figures for girls house.
Four presents for older boys, one is 17, one two 15 and one 9, will buy something from Sainsbury for them like chocolates or something.
Food to fill up normal food hamper
Food to fill up reggae reggae hamper
Bits for other half, have main present, just need little bits to go with it.
Cushion for 11 year boy, waiting for picture first
Bag for DIL, doing patchwork, one side made up, got to make other side then make the bag up

Cant think of anything else I need to get really. Should be quite easy, I have a £10 voucher for Sainsbury and £20 of nectar points to that should do the boys ones. Going to check whats on special offer on Tesco this week for the online shop to see if I can get anything for the hampers half price.

Thought I'd give you a laugh, - noticed that I had a private message - looked didnt recognise the name - read the message

"What does the information in your signature mean?"

£3471/4k - 2013 = 86.7% DFB OCT 2023
Dream fund = 1475.25/3200 = 46.1% (mum £200)
Amazon fund 175/200
Owe mum £155/ 548= 28.2 (arg) 0/123
Dad MOT £5/£128 = 0.39%

Nothing else just that........ nosey person, apart fron the fact its pretty self explanatory, and its more for me to keep a check on money otherwise i'd forget to update spreadsheets, or diary........

This is a person that I don't know, I contribute to a few regular threads but there not on there...... do I have a stalker or a nosey person!!

LOL, you have to smile at some peoples cheek dont you

looks like you had a productive day mum2one

mum2one

We have just had an amazing evening, took mum to see the medium Tony Stockwell, she got the 1st visit, - she had her mum, dad, brother and daughter all come through.

It was so weird as mums dad passed away when I was 1, so only got photos, - but 2 yrs ago I saw my grandad as a ghost - just before my uncle died - the main thing was this vision wearing a flat cap, when I described it to mum it was grandad.....

xx

mrs-moneypenny

sounds a really amazing evening mum2one. i feel people close to me sometimes (usually when i really need someone) and my mum often said her gran came when her little brother was a baby
