Fab news re review, bonus and raise - all well deserved. Hope the nasty bugs stay away and you all have a well week or two. Happy mother's day too.
ETA, I've still not been able to track down any Vegetarian marshmallows - was it Mr As or Mr Al that you found them in - think it was you Lilt but if not just ignore me!!0 -

You've remembered correctly teapot - t'was Lilty and it was MrAs, but there is some difference in the packaging (which Lilty can define) as our MrAs had marshmallows, but not the gelatine free variety. Hope they stock them in your locale teapot
Happy Mother's Day Lilty - hope that you've had a ball, although sad to learn that the Jellytotster still isn't feeling 100%Loving how you *spent* your bonus and raise btw :T

Wow I don't visit for a few days and you get a bonus, payrise and start shopping!
Sorry to hear Jelly picked up the eye goo, hope the drops work.
Hope despite the goo and Jelly not feeling too good that you manage to have a bit of a relaxation and self pamper this evening. You definitely deserve it. xIt’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Hello peeps!!!
Sorry was feeling rather a grumpy so and so today. Spending money doesn't come easily and despite shopping clever and being delighted with each purchase I still feel queasy.
Add to this Jelly being really unwell and a serious handful.
And my mum virtually ignoring me, cutting me off, being generally rude and unhelpful let alone appreciating me calling and trying to spend a bit of time talking to her on Mothering Sunday... she has paperwork to sort through. Insurance policies that are years old. Despite me stating that unless my grandparents are paying hundreds a month out in insurance premiums at age 83 then the insurance will have expired at the latest 8 years ago! I have left her to it. I was thoroughly fed up and getting really grumpy when the doorbell went. Jelly went running 'Who's at DOOR!' and who was there, but Him.he had a full day at work. I knew this but it didn't compute that he might pop in. Anyway it has really truly cheered me up, and Jelly too seeing him for a bit. So she is eating her dinner. My jacket potato beans are cooking away, and it is cruising towards bedtime for madam nice and easily now.
Who knows, I might get that fabled bath I never got last night after all
teapot & GP - I have not found any in My Mr A's the last two times of going in there! They were in a brown and white packaging, little pink and white ones. Animal gelatine free. In the baking section, in the middle of the aisle with hot chocolate and other chocolatey items. But have just been online, where I had ordered them before, and like half of my basket, they have a big yellow 'Not Available' next to them on my favourites
I think the damage in total is around £270. So less than a third of my after tax and NI bonus on a full new wardrobe. I've got key pieces that will go with several outfits to jazz up or casualI've got scarves
- I've got shirt dresses and t shirts and vest tops and skinny jeans that are a pleasure to wear rather than torture to get on. I have got some incredible items from J0e Br0wns including some really out of the ordinary tops and a gorgeous dress which I can use for work and for going out. I need some underwear, black socks and not much else.
Love to alla much cheered Lilty.

Love Joe Browns! But they don't suit my shape unfortunately. Very jealous of you.
Well done you for your bonus! Glad you're using it wisely
Sorry your day didn't start out the best but isn't he sweet to pop in.
I'm also sorry to hear about your grandparents. Hope you're feeling as ok as you can.0 -

Had such a busy day cleaning, washing and ironing ahead of hols that I have not had the chance to come in here. You are one amazing mummy and lady, so just don't forget that and we are all entitled to be a little grumpy now and again and probably you more than most. Hope that the bugs soon disappear from your household and little Jelly is bouncing around as the happy little bunny that she is. Enjoy the next few days before going back to work xxxx. Oh and just in case I am unable to get back before Thursday I may be AWOL for a little while, although taking IPad with me so just may submit a photo!! Xx:j I belong to Mike's Mob :j0
