    Hi Al, glad you're feeling a bit better. Well done with that list!

    We really need to try making our own pizza bases, and bread generally.

    Thanks Janey.

    My best effort to match the paint failed (Laura Ashley Summer Pudding) but its a lovely chalky finish and pretty much the existing crazy scarlet so I will have to do the whole bathroom I think.

    £8.50 on a scientific calculator for DD1.

    Major decluttering done and FLW so loads of listings done.

    Ugh. Up all night with vomiting DD1 and DH.

    Then on the way to work saw someone turn her car over and stick in the ditch.

    Scary.

    Just survived today on 2hrs sleep.

    What a day (and night) you've had!

    Make sure you drive carefully. I hope your little ones are a bit better and you're able to get some more rest tonight,

    take care

  • Poor you,I hope you get some rest tonight. £90 is a lot but worth it to be warm. X
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!

    Hope you get a decent sleep, am sure it's much needed. According to my fitbit I got 2 hours 16 minutes last night :eek:, but at least I was tucked up in bed the whole time.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    hope you are tucked up and sleeping now
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
