    Oh whoops again. Is there a communal staircase? If so I'm there because I don't feel safe with you lot and your wild jelly accusations and mob-mentality.

  • There is... but the only cupboard houses the gas meters, and the weird old lady downstairs collection of shopping cart thingys. And really you don't want to be sat on the stairs when my neighbour and his troop of bad boys come in and out every 5 minutes do you. They might steal your jelly... :rotfl:

    Haha, sorry to lower the tone ;)

    This does make me chuckle tho ;D
  • Right... seriously and all.

    An update.

    This weekend was totally spend free! :j

    Today not so much. I went to Mr A's to collect a present I ordered online for my friend. That would have been free but then I went to find her some chocolate to go with it, and thus a spend day was born.

    In for a penny, in for a £1. £22 later in Mr A, I had a mop, a bucket, some flash, some chocolates, some more chocolate for me because I keep eating it all, some broccoli and some corned beef, as you do.

    Then to compound matters I got home and nursery rang. Out of nappies. So took a bag of 50 down, leaving me with not enough. So when I got Jelly out of nursery I went to mr L and spent another £28. Sigh. More chocolate, actually own brand versions of the earlier chocolate to see if it compared and could be swapped :money: (yeah keep telling yourself you needed 2x 7 packs... and THAT's saving money.... :o) lots of jelly, bread, biscuits, and 200 nappies :eek: The nappies were £18,76 of that but still... :( I need to batten down the hatches. I solemnly declare that I shall not spend a penny until Saturday at the earliest.

    What else? Oh, I came home and mopped the floors in every room after a thorough vacuuming that turned into an impromptu cupboard empty & sort & reload. Eventually the house was sparkling, all traces of Jellys thrown meals and splashed juice all gone and the house seems bigger. But that may be because I also mopped the walls where there were marks. (It worked so why are you laughing at me!?!) so now the walls are bright and clean again.

    Made chinese egg fried rice to go with a ready meal thing from mr S but have to be honest I didn't eat much. My days worth of food has consisted of a bar of chocolate and about a quarter of my dinner. I feel fine, but after 2 nights of going to bed pre 7pm, I think I need to sit down and have a chat with myself. I am obviously not quite *right* whatever right is...

    Anyways I really need to work out how much of the budget is blown, and move some cash about and try and open a super basic bank account with Natwide to keep my accounts with them *open* for a while till I decide whether I need them or not.

    Back later or maybe not. I am trying to stay up a bit tonight after 2 mammoth sleeping sessions!

    Usual late-comer to the party :o Skim reading so there's dancing on the ceiling high on jelly and chocolate, complete with glowstick in one hand and mop in the other :D

    Lilt's just invented the new MFW - Muck Free Walls :rotfl: Request for membership please (I mop walls too, 2 shaking wet and dirty doglets does not a clean wall make :D).

    Cannot believe how much you get done! Amazing :T

  • Lmao Ali your lovely postie dog was at the party handing out hors d'ouvres - he must have hidden your invitation under the bed ;)

    My usual MFW is to paint it :p I almost started glossing today and then smacked my hand as I only had an hour till Jelly was out of nursery. Even still... I may do it tomorrow... :rotfl: - I am glad I am not the only one in the wall mopping club ;)

    I am sure if you listed everything you do you would have a list far longer than mine Mrs ;) xxx

  • Well I was wide awake but I'm exhausted just reading all the things youve done today! Miss Super Lilty and her trusty sidekick Jellytot!! Dah dee dah dah!!!

    Sweet dreams

    October xx
  • Ali you've missed out all those trips to the loo with those cuppas ;)

    October my wee sidekick tipped the pram over twice today such was the load of shopping on the back. She climbed out when I was mid pack in the suitcase. Crash, over went the pram and 4 packs of nappies on the back. The woman behind me came rushing around and said the most bizarre thing!!

    "I'll pick it up, don't worry, you are the quickest packer I have ever seen in my life!!" then off she went :rotfl:

    Next time, we were in town and I was giving her her juice when she did a runner!! Crash went the pram while I ninja spun to catch her. Yet another nice lady picked it up while I strapped Jelly in tight :rotfl: she sulked all the way home then, until I let her out at the building steps to save my back carting her and the pram upstairs. A lady kindly left the door open a bit for me to stop me having to push the buttons juggling small child and pram. Jelly beat me to the top of the stairs... opened the door.. and I am calling, don't close that door on mummy!! Wait for me!!! And she gave the most wicked grin... and let it go! And then caught it, and laughed at me, the little sod!! She did hold it wide open for me to come in, with the woman who had dropped something off at the bin, and then walked back to her car, laughing all the way. And then she beat me to the top of the stairs and started banging on my door, and rattling the letterbox. I was praying for idiot neighbours not to come out and luckily they did not. Crazy guy on one side is scared of me, and cokey guy on the other side is just... cokey. :rotfl:

    Anyways, I should go to bed... but, and I am off to reassure Levi off this in a second... Jelly keeps waking up!! This is almost unheard of. I have given her medicine after listening to a rumbly tum. And then she demanded more milk. But she seems to still be having tummy pains.Hope the meds kick in soon. I need my bed!!

    Sweet dreams to you all
