LOL kerri just seen your 'edit' I felt the same during pregnancy and in fact if I were offered chocolate fudge cake or channing on a plate i'd probably opt for the cake

I'm attempting to watch homeland for the second time (last night got interrupted by sick!) I have a cider, herbal tea and mince pie! And in between t.v and scoffing my face i'm trying to catch up with washing! The workmen turned the water off earlier so no washing was done.....i've tonnes of duvets, covers, blankets, pillows to clean now on top of my usual loads
!
Anyway t/v is on and i'm off for a relaxing evening (I can hope anyway....)Mortgage Overpayments 2024/25 - September-December, £152.46. J- £103.27, F- £115, M- £91.50, A- £100, M- £200, J- £200. J- £200. A-£200, S- £221.34. O-£200EF- £642.41/500

Will reply properly tomorrow to anyone that's been on

HS course this morning then walked the dog and then it was time for madness of all the kids and have just got mine put to bed and I'm off out for a meditation meet which is sorely needed I think
! Very tired though, imagine if I fall asleep and start dribbling or something

Thanks all for popping in

Mara i'm making a cake later will put a picture up if I remember (before it's eaten!!) :rotfl:
C-R hope you didn't get into trouble
If you did blame Kerri
:rotfl:
Thank you Granny & Robin
it means a lot to have some support, you're all like my online stand in husbands/wives (whatever I should call you?)
Well last night was just what I needed and I feel so close when meditating to going very deep within and then I always have a jerk response from my body which ruins it
need to work more on this because I think the deeper the meditation the more rested I will feel
Lovely to be with like minded people though and we had a good old laugh 
Today my house looks like a bomb site
i've done the bathroom, opened all the windows because they keep getting condensation, done the bins ready for tomorrow (well the full ones- recycling & food wastage) and I need to hoover throughout yet and also make a cake
. I bought a flan base the other day, it brought make fun memories of me as a child at my nan's house making them with her
so i'd like to do that at the weekend with the kids helping (and is nice and easy
)
I've called the lady who is going to meet my tenant this weekend and she said the day was fine so i've given my tenant the name and number of her to meet her. I've told tenant what the crack was with the house and she didn't respond badly, just yes that's fine i'll call her on the way over? So we will see 1) if she turns up, 2) if she does whether or not she did have anything to collect, 3) if she was planning on cleaning/replacing anything in my house after destroying the carpet and making everything dirty (and uninhabitable for the next person!)
I donated £20 to the typhoon charity the other day, it was ds1's pocket money
he didn't deserve nearly as much as those poor people over there
He's not yet asked for it anyway so haven't told him, if he does ask for it (after I told him at the beginning of the month he wasn't having it anyway...) i will tell him exactly where it has gone.
I've got school pictures of £55 still due out and also a school trip deposit of £50 due out both in cheques. I hate hate hate cheques! But both insisted cheques or cash and I didn't want to post cash. So need to remember this so I don't spend it!
One of the childminded kids i have has started swearing, it seems her favourite saying at the moment is *for F*&k's sake* :eek: she said it the other day and got a telling off and a warning, so when she said it yesterday I marched her to the naughty step, told her to think about why she was using that language and to think of a suitable non swear word alternative before I came back. Well I came back and she went 'I dunno' so I said what about "oh sugar" so she said "yes, ok" and goes off, where her brother is waiting and says to her "oh, what did you say to make you go on there?" so she turns around and says "oh not much I just said what mummy always says when something goes wrong, oh for f88ks sake":eek: I pretended not to hear this time as I shouldn't have been, but I was -->:rotfl:. Said little girl also has turned up to my hosue this week with no underwear on twice. She's 4 so maybe still needs a little help so had to ask mum last night to check her today. Feel very sorry for mum though as she's my friend first and foremost and I know she works long hours, has the kids responsibility all on her shoulders, a husky to walk (she is another one with a big dog that she didn't really want but hubby did and now hubby is away for 4 days of the week!) and the house to run so I do feel for her. Her boy turned up today with no lunch box, I rang her and she couldn't see it in the car and wondered if he'd left it at home and asked if I could get him a hot dinner from school and she'd pay tomorrow, well I got off the phone and her DS is
"oh no what a shame I will have to have a hot dinner":D:D:D:D Little monster had planned it! SO to nip that being a problem and re-occurance I made him a lunch with DS2's old lunch box with in the night garden on :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: for those of you who don't know this it's a (in the words of the ds...) "BABIES CARTOON":rotfl::rotfl: My response was "oh such a shame, I bet you you never forget your lunch box again though do you ";) Mortgage Overpayments 2024/25 - September-December, £152.46.
