It's really good! BUT you have to cover it over so it looks like a tent if you see what I mean. If you don't cover it the clothes take forever to dry just as a normal airer works. However if you cover it the clothes are dry overnight I have also started taking washing out of the washing machine, putting half back in and spinning it again and then doing the other half this way. I don't always do this but i've noticed on delicate washes it doesn't wring it out very much so i spin it again! Clothes come out nearly dry anyway then i'm sure

Do you do sw@gbucks for Amazonia vouchers? Xx

No I couldn't work out how to do it i've had 2 accounts with them now thanks to forgetting which email address and password i'd used the first time and the second time round wasn't any easier lol so I gave up

GET OFF eBay, DFW ... unless you're looking at buying something from me, of course.

On another note, what on earth is a leappad?

Well today is a good day, I went to bed and read some of my book on Buddhism and am feeling a little better now, " Countless other living beings experience greater suffering and difficulties than I do". Too true. I told myself that over and over like a mantra until I fell asleep. It worked I am out of the doldrums I had fallen into :T

Thanks for posting this DFW - I have been in the mega doldrums since Sunday (a common theme on a lot of diarys I noticed:() and after reading this I realise that really my problems are nothing compared to some people's.

Thanks for making me get a grip:j

You're very welcome EE it worked wonders for me too

Alex a leappad is a games console aimed at younger children! My son dropped his and cracked the screen but we've a nice shiny new one now prices have dropped this year as they have a new model but last year when they were new they were nearly a hundred quid each!

Brief post as on my tablet and I'm rubbish at typing on it!

Spends today: £8 on second hand kitchen bits (much improved on the £40 I nearly spent online ) and bought from a friemd who I know is struggling a bit so will help her

Met with a new friend for a cuppa. We had a bit of common ground as both from same county ...took dog for a walk and met my neighbour with her new husky (rescue) she's very bouncy and Duke wasn't overly keen! Still had a nice chat with her too so feeling a little more socialised today! Oh and Duke had his xmas jumper on he looks so cute!;)

I've made bread, carrot and lentil soup (one for tonight and one for freezer) and fruit cake/loaf although it looks like that one has overly risen in the BM! Will get it out in a mo and see if still edible ! Fireworks tonight so will wrap the kids up warm and bring some drinks with us!

Back to school and 'work' tomorrow and my course starts so a busy day ahead! And if I'm honest I'm not totally looking forward to it!

Hope everyone is good and not getting rained on (chucking it down here!)

Afternoon! Can't really say 'Good' in front of that because it's blooming miserable here!

Yesterday's fireworks were great I chanced my luck down a side street and found parking :jwhich also happened to be a side entrance to the park, I went over and asked if we could get in that way instead of queuing round the front and they said 'of course, we expected more than one person to use this entrance though' :rotfl: I wasn't moaning it meant we got in first and got right to the front of the entertainment! We saw Matt Cardle & Jeff Brazier, I wasn't a pining teenager though so felt quite bad i'd nicked a space close to them, however the kids could at least see then it was so busy I would have spent the entire time trying to lift the kids over the crowds!

Today I woke up feeling a bit odd, went to my course after dropping kids off though and whilst there developed a huge backache and tummy pains, think I have a water infection i've not had them very often so it took me a while to realise what it was ! Course was really good, aside from the fact out of everyone on the course there is one who cannot stop talking and asked the most ridiculous questions and one who doesn't understand a darned thing so repeats everything the lady is trying to say. As I wasn't feeling too great anyway all I wanted to do was scream at them by the end how stupid can some people be?! Sorry that's not very nice is it? Usually i'm quite calm and ignore silly things people do but was feeling so yukky myself I just wanted them to shut the heck up so the woman could finish! Wouldn't mind but if both of them had actually stopped interrupting and listened to the whole thing they wouldn't have got the wrong end of the stick and so needed to ask a gaziliion questions to clarify :mad:

Afterwards I went to H@lfords as someone stopped me last night and told me both my lights were out on the back of the car :eek: so £15 in there as I had to get them to fit it as I've never done it before (DH's job!) Also went to pet shop whilst there as thought it would save on petrol, got enough food for the month and hopefully well into December for the dog, £22 in there (they had an offer though hence why I bought so much :money:)

Got home to find a husky in my garden. No, seriously :eek:. My neighbours have got a rescue dog and it's a huge husky and I have to say i'm quite scared of it , she's a beautiful dog but after my mother got seriously bit years ago I don't like big dogs , nor very small dogs, I am sounding like Goldilocks now so i'll shush. Anyway neighbour got her in, I let my dog out who went nuts as he'd obviously picked up the scent of another dog on his 'patch' *uh-oh* so neighbours dog gets out of the house again and clears the fence as if he's Colin Jackson and heads straight into my house. :eek:. I was like ':D don't worry haha, very funny' and inside i was ':mad::mad::mad:' muddy paws all over my kitchen! all over my front room carpet!! and half way up the stairs....i dragged her down before she made it all the way up! Thankfully you see my dog has a little ocd, he doesn't like the rain, mud or getting dirty so I rarely have this problem with him, the dog next door was black from having dug holes all over their lawn :(! Urgh!

Anyway all done, I tactfully suggested that she look into getting a higher fence as if my ds1 were to accidently leave the gate open or something her dog may escape (hmmm there's an idea :idea:, only kidding )

So a spendy day really but i've got budgets to cover the car and pet food so everything is accounted for Now to think of an easy meal as I can barely stand up without turning into a total drama queen

I am making my way through diaries btw so if I haven't popped in to yours yet, sorry I will get there eventually Hope everyone is well.
