Also sending hugs - gentle ones avoiding all sore areas. Hope the valium was effective and the persil bottle does its stuff!

Take care xx

Morning lilt, I hope you managed to get a good nights sleep.

Glad your mum's op went well, take care.x.

Hi all

Update on Mum: She has groggily gone home, tucked up in her own bed and trying to sleep as she got hardly any overnight. Not spoken to her but she has texted and her op was a success; tumour removed in full, leaking implants from cancer op #2 15 years ago removed, and all cleaned up. Even the messy scar from the junior doctor last time around fixed. So a 3 week wait for her to recover mostly and to get the results and see what the next step is. Grateful today.

Sleep - Jellytot woke me with much screeching at not being able to escape her room at 5:30am. Valium meant I was groggy and somehow managed to turn my alarm off. Woke with a jolt at 7:48am. I normally leave home at 7:50. So worlds quickest shower, moisturise of face, bit of make up, clothes on, bag filled with rubbish lunch by Him (super noodles and crisps) and off I ran with a banana in hand at 7:59 for the 2 mile walk to work. Got there with a minute to spare. Phew. Went out at lunch to get real food and spent £17 in Sainsburys. Not happy. The cardinal sin of shopping whilst hungry was committed. I did get some super reduced Christmas Card making goodies in the form of some fineline coloured pens, sharpies and mini superglues

Off to sleep now. Really done for today. Hugs xx

please-let-me-be-lucky

Sorry about your rubbish day. Hope you sleep well and tomorrow is a better one for you Xx

glad mum's op went well, hope you get a wonderful restful night's sleep tonight. we had a dog-gate on ds's door for ages, he could climb out of his cot from 16months and over a classic child gate from about 2. so a super high dog gate it was, and when he could get over that we sort of gave up.

tonight both children are in my bed and I am sleeping on the sofabed down-stairs. perhaps we should have persisted!

Oh Lobbyludd :rotfl::rotfl:

That made me chuckle. I'd forgotten about musical beds - DD would get in our bed in the middle of the night and squashes me so I am falling off the edge of the bed. When she's asleep I get up and go in her bed. And sometimes it reversed. Sometimes DH in spare room bed. Lilty though is very much more organised than me.

Lucky - thanks for popping by! You're very sweet! Hope you had a lovely end to your bday! Will catch up on your diary

Lobby luff (my phone did this and I am saving it because in this house "luff" along with "nuv" means love! hahaha! I cannot believe your super climber! I had to change jellytots bed at 16 months from a cot to a cotbed as she was sitting on the side with her legs dangling either way when I went in one morning. :eek: her cot was SO high-sided I couldn't believe it so I put her back in bed and sat on the floor waiting to see if my mind was playing tricks on me. Within about 3 minutes of huffing and pulling herself up, she was back on the top. Took it down that day! But climbing over a dog gate... Wow. I think I am going to buy a baby gate but not for her bedroom, just to lock her out of the kitchen. We are in a flat, and her bedroom is off my living room, as is a teeny hallway with a kitchen and bathroom, then my bedroom is near to the front door. It's a very nice flat. But all on one level means she has been able to access anywhere since she could crawl. She's always been good about the hot stuff, oven, radiators etc, but I have lost count of the number of toilet rolls that have gone in the bath! Now that closing the door is no longer effective (unless tied to a persil bottle) I really better protect her a bit more!

As for musical beds...! LOL I have been removed several mornings. She is a starfish! But a double gang-up leaving you on the sofa bed :rotfl: hahahaha - my mum always trots out the stories about how I was a very wriggly kid so when I got in bed she used to go and get in mine and leave me with dad. Dad used to rest me on his whale hump sized beer belly and we would both go back to sleep one morning he put me on his tummy only to be greeted by a very soggy nappy! And when he asked me "lilt, are you wet?!?" I replied (age 2) "abbolutely sopping!!" that one gets told a lot.

Super Dave I think it borders on child cruelty rather than organisation! Her door is anchored to the sofa with washing liquid! That's not organised just desperate lol.

I fell asleep at 8, missed a text from mum saying hellooooo at 9:22, then another at 5 to 10 saying she was going back to sleep, and jellytot woke me shouting about being stuck repeatedly so having woken up convinced it was Saturday I went and sorted her out, new nappy etc and put her back in bed. I love winter nights. So easy to convince her to sleep until it is light :rotfl:

So at least I have had an hours internet browsing, and have been offered £5 cashback to set up an eBay account, and £10 off my first order! Cheers PayPal means my face cream will cost me about £3.

My savings account would be about £20 away from £1k right now if it wasn't for my £45 osteo appt! I get a receipt for last time and next time when I go on Tuesday so I will claim it back from my works cash plan. He says I should need 2 appts more so well within my £300 limit it's £40 a session from now on! My pelvis is in agony. Before I popped my 2 disks out and tore them, I did a LOT of damage to my pelvis and lower spine when I was 11. I broke a piece off my spine in actual fact and fractured it in a couple of other places. Now that he has aligned me a bit better and taken some pressure off my disks my pelvis which has been moved around a bit is in agony. That and my arm wake me up a dozen times a night. hope he can sort this out!!!

Anyway once I get the money back, I will defo be over £1k in that account although it is many little "pots" on YNAB!!

I realised today I only have 1 more payment on my sofa and it is bought!!! I've never classed my DFS purchase as a debt. If I bought it outright it would have cost the same amount with or without 4 years to pay it off! So I did the year payment free and then paid £44.27 a month. So from Nov that's an extra £44.27 to savings each month!

Better get up, feeling sleepy and alarm will go off in 5 mins! Coffeeeee xx

I loved reading all that - made me smile, except for the part about the osteopath and what happened to you.

Oooh, poor you. Defo need some TLC. Take care Lilty.

lilt,

hi...I stumbled across your diary the other day and have read from start to finish now.

I was in sainsbos today, a fairly large one, but not massive, and they had a stack of child gates for £15 ish.

Seems apt that I spied them having just caught up on your last few posts.

Mind you, I'm loving the washing liquid lock!
