Hello Sea
Sorry to hear you are feeling so lousy. I hope it will improve on the holiday - I always found that the nausea vanished when I went away and came back with a vengeance when I got home! Will the relatives you're going with look after your children some of the time so you can have a real rest?
Good luck with those exhausts and as hypno says, put your feet up today.Total debt: 1 January 2007 £[strike]49,387.79[/strike] 1 January 2012 £[STRIKE]19,312.85[/STRIKE] 1 August 2012 £11,517.620 -

Thanks
I actually signed off and lay on the sofa where I promptly fell asleep for 2 hours! Feel sooo much better now although I didn't even wake up when DS went through my handbag and purse (obsessed he is at the mo) and now I'm down £2- grrr. Dread to think where he's posted it! 
reading threads and people's activities today has given me some motivation and I am feeling quite positive about things
OH has been talking about his plans to help get the debt down, as he's feeling frustrated that he can't add more to the debt situation. However, this doesn't extend to actually sticking to the budgeted amounts for things though. Huh!
I will get a little time on holiday - and also we've agreed to do some babysitting for each other so that we can go out as a couple, which will be just wonderful. Unfortunately the restaurants are apparently quite expensive so I think it'll be for a little walk instead, which will be just as nice
Right, going to hang out the bed sheets now - I loved snuggling down into clean bedsheets last night
Small things, eh? Flylady keeps talking about saving for a gorgeous bedspred to make you smile = now, at first I thought she was talking rubbish, but I have actually found myself wanting a gorgeous bedspread lol. However, I'm not going to save ro buy one - one of my kind of like mums lives in New York and I'll ask he to keep an eye for Christmas pressie 
Still searching for better home ins - am checking out moneysupermarket now!

Hi all,
well, the holiday costs are beginning to mount up now - £50 odd for DS's passport, £14 travel ins, got to get various bits and pieces for it too as we don't have much, although as I said, I'm going to try to do this as cheaply as possible as we've also got to find spending money and petrol money - hmmm. getting a little worried about it actually.
Feeling ok today - have found that constant eating means most of my symptoms go and I can function lol!
Got a load out on the line and even done some crafting with DD this morning. DS has just passed out on the sofa - must wake him soon, as otherwise he'll be up all night!
Not been very MSE this morning though
Bid on a Ninky Nonk Train on Ebay for my friend's little girl - she turns 2 the day after William does. I know she'll love it, and I have got the money saved for birthdays but I was intending to buy it from Amazon, but there is now a 4-6 week wait. Grrr.
Anyhoo, off to declutter some more
STILL haven't listed on Ebay. Just can't get motivated and don't know why!

HI Taxi - yes, I think I've got one on Friday - yay! Can't wait.
I've been going to bed at about 8/8.30 to try to feel better lol. Last night was the second in a row that DS stayed in his cot and didn't come in with us - hurray! It did mean crying (him) and more milk during the night, but I think he sleeps better in his own bed and we certainly do too! He cried for AGES the night before last but last night only for about 5 mins which made me feel less like an evil mother lol.
The kids got 2 parcels this morning - I have such lovely family
Sophia's cousin sent her (well, her auntie did) a beautiful painted shell from their dorset holiday and another of my kind-of-like mums sent her some craft stickers and William a fabby little sports car, pull back with doors that open - they're both well chuffed 
I'm off to send a few bits today - some clothes s-i-l gave me that are a size 8 (to ebay but they won't sell given what I've seen) so I'm sending them to my friend wh I think will like them. Also need to write a couple of thank you cards as well. Need to pay CCCS and get OH some hair stuff. Oh the excitement! Also going to storytime so I can get some interesting books to read in bed at night.
Got a list of things to buy for the holiday
Think I'm going to have to use some of my Paypal money for the stuff as I just don't have it in our budget - thank goodness for this site! If I hadn't have done hte challenge I wouldn't have that 'spare' money available.
Anyway, enough waffle, hope everyone is well. Lovely day - will get the washing out when it's done and on the line.

Hi
Well, just been to town and done all my errands and spent a bit too much money as usual.
TMI ALERT - DO NOT READ IF SQUEAMISH:
I just went to the loo and there is a little blood - now I had this several times when I was pregnant with Sophia and as yet don't have any pain, but I think I'll give the drs a ring anyway. Hoping it's nothing to worry about.CCCS DMP:Feb 07
