*Stop The Cavalry* It's The 2014 Christmas Chatter Thread

Own_My_Own

I am both shattered and really really excited right now.

Shattered as I went to work today after having a couple of glasses of wine last night , but excited because ..... My film app has added Game of Thrones

We don't have Sky and I have been wanting to see it for so long now.

Back up to Ikea tomorrow! When Dd finishes college at 11. She needs to take her £95 :eek: trainers back and I need a few bits for my kitchen cupboards. Those blooming American pantries have got to me. I also need to get ds some new drawers. ( his boxers and socks are in a box on the floor. :mad: ) He is going to have a cart with wire baskets in it, as we are going a bit warehouse in there.
Ds is coming to get 24 Krispy Kreme donuts. :rotfl:

I am also getting these for my cereal.

My cupboard above the sink will take 6 of them perfectly. I was going to use old sweet jars that are free, but I have only managed to get 2 the same.

I went into WHSmith today after work to get a label maker. It was £6.99 online but they wanted £8.69 in the shop. :eek:
But I can order one to be collected in the shop for the cheaper price. Does that make sense ?
It will have to labeled, sent to the shop, where someone will have to put it in storage. Then when I get there someone will have to go out back and get it. Surely that cost time and money !

Morning everyone. Hope you are all enjoying the Easter break.
Feeling a bit chewed up this morning as I have made the decision to join SW tonight (new class starting less than 3 mins walk away). Got very very brave this morning and stepped onto our scales :eek::eek::eek: and then I thought omg I will probably be a stone or more heavier on their scales Really having to do something as all this extra weight is really impacting on my life.
We seem as though we have more choccie than ever in the house inc those Lindt big red choccie balls, DS brought me home a Flake egg last night. We have some posh crisps - usually if I buy any crisps they are just the basic ones.
Oh well, will let you know if I actually make it to the class.
Take care everyone

OMO you have got me hooked on looking at american houses now :rotfl:love those cereal boxes, i am a label freak all my baking stuff and medicine stuff are in plastic boxes with labels printed out on them of what they are. Love the quote :rotfl:

CHRISSY have a great time in cardiff

l have always labelled things ( boxes of stuff, files etc .) but just with sticky handwritten labels, but a label maker, that's class.
I have decided that l need a new tv cabinet, with doors so that l can hide the spaghetti junction that is behind the idiots lantern, but the one l want is £179 hmmmm will have to start a saving bottle for it. (l will obviously label the bottle ).
I want a new shed, and a load of slate chippings, and new paving slabs, and fancy edging tiles, and lots and lots of other stuff, oh, booger it the list is endless, and will never happen, settle down woman and save for the tv stand.
I have de-cluttered the old suite covers, as I prefer the ones l have just made, and a whole bag of jumpers and a coat for the cs today,
There is a whole wardrobe shelf of stuff I haven't needed for a year so l will get my neice to empty it and take it away, as I don't think l would be ruthless enough to ditch it if I did it myself!!!
My DD does/did SW and felt it did her good, eating healthier even if the weight loss eluded her.
Right, I'm off, greenhouse duty calls. xxxxx

Afternoon everyone, i had a panic attack in the middle of the night about going to the drs this morning, i was so distressed afterwards i eventually fell asleep exhausted and didnt go i dont know why but at the moment my anxiety is ridiculous at anything and everything. So i am just having a gentle day today, doing my baking that i should have done at the weekend i have made a chocolate banana loaf, a banana loaf and a bundt shaped refridgerator cake with mini creme eggs in the middle

MRSINVISIBLE oh MRSI i have a wish list too that i know will never happen now, i desperately need a new dining suite, in my dark, depressed, foggy days after my exH did the dirty on me i gave away half my dining chairs to the blokes who come round collecting scrap metal, its hysterical now i dont know why i did it but i have got two garden benches in the conservatory now so that when we have family round and sit at the table there are enough seats and i am also desperate for a new three piece suite (in my dreams) but hey ho at least we have something to sit on

MRSMONEYPENNY hope you had a good easter too

FEISTY love the cupboard

mrs-moneypenny

thank you yes, had 4 of the 5 kids back for dinner, 2 were plus partners and mil. so it was 2 vegans, 3 meat eaters and 4 veggies i was coooking for, it went well
other DD was busy elsewhere with her partner (it involved drinking and not wanting to drive so fully understood that, we saw her good friday and are going out for a meal soon.
apart from that watched lots of films did knitting sewing and read a book. michael morpurgo, across a wide wide sea, it was beautiful, a bout a young orphan boy who was sent off to australia after the war and ended up working almost as a slave on a farm with lots of other 'adopted' boys. all he had to remind him of England was a recollection of a sister called kitty and a small key she gave him. i know michael morpurgos books are really aimed at young adults but they are so beautifully written i just cant resist them, i buy them for my son and end up reading them myself.

envious of your beautifully tidy cupboard feisty
