    Catch up on my gibberish, save you many boring pages....

    Yes - op 30th December - much pain, finally feel a bit more able to do things today. Hopeful it will be a success but time will tell
    Christmas - was amazing - Him well behaved, presents galore, food (cooked by me) was really lush
    Have got a new macbook being delivered today to my work so walking over gently with Jelly in her pram to fetch it- 4 miles ;)
    Put on about half stone and feel like a porker.
    Best friends baby being induced today after she was due 24th December :eek:
    My £3600 regular saver finished today so should get the money back shortly to distribute at will :)
    Been mega batch cooking and trying not to waste any of the £150 I spent on Xmas food... - so far so good!

    Now what has been happening in your world!?! How was Christmas? xx



    Hey Lilty - you are such a gem - Thank you for the summary update - so glad you had the op and hope that it is much less painful now. Hope Little cherub Jelly had a lovely Christmas too - I did sneak over and had a look at your gorgeous xmas piccies - So lovely:)
    And congrats on your new MacBook! - :)

  • :D good to see you back chick. Am glad work has picked up and eased fears for a while and that DH is behaving ;) sounds like some expenses but nothing ridiculous so call it 'Christmas' ;)

    Jelly had the best Christmas and even now talks away to herself about 'Father Christmas come.. and he bring me presents' :rotfl:

    And baby update: friend had a baby girl, 8th, at 8:10am, 8 lbs 6 oz, a beautiful peach named 'Ava'!

    Macbook soooooo pretty :D

    Big hugs to you! xx

    Its not so much that DS1 is sensible. He has to learn and I was his age when I got my allowance. He should have $600 but he has nothing. Why because the tuck shop was more important. So he wears out of size clothes till he feels uncomfortable! Sadly I said I would get his school uniform so for most of a week he will be in stuff that fits....

    Good Morning friends that I can't see but I know are always there.:)
    Has it really been eight days?!?
    Working at school all week, and Saturday with part time job, then spent 12 hours dismantling old wardrobes and fitting new ones for parents on Sunday - didn't get back till midnight - poor DS already exhausted an its only Tuesday.


    This is my first day at home by myself since early December, quite sad for someone who "works from home". AM looking around me despairing, wondering where to start. Looks like a tornado has swept through the house picking up things from one place and depositing then in another. Office is piled high with stuff to do, and the more I look at it the sinkier the sinking feeling gets.


    Tax returns to sort out within the next week. This means filing and sorting for about 3 days.
    Sort out disabled bathroom for dad - he can no longer get in and out of bath so really struggling.
    Make appointments for mum - she's really worried about a number of health issues.
    Sort out their insurances an utility reclaims.
    Get on top of own finances/budget - to find out where we stand.
    Contact HS*C - there are making lots of noise- should have contacted them about 12 days ago but too tired when I got home in the evenings.


    Pack Christmas stuff away so DH can move into loft. Have been walking around them for about 10 days. :( Or maybe we could just leave them there so we are ready for next Christmas.


    NOA

    Morning Noah..


    Glad to see you back.. sounds like you have had a very busy start to the NY...


    Maybe a cuppa and a 'diet' biscuit and a read on here before you start to help you get going...!!


    I have decided to delay my NY resolutions until February as I find January so hard mentally.. its long, we are all poor and its so cold.. so I'm afraid my chubbiness will remain until then...!


    Hope your find your mojo.. maybe its hiding under the christmas deccies???


    Much Love.. Puzz. x

    Good Morning Granny! and it is really beautiful outside - bright sunshine in cloudless electric blue sky - just went to see if snowdrops are out yet - but it is bitterly cold, so I came in and am warming hands on a mug of tea whilst eating fried eggy bread with ketchup. Comfort food from school days - used to be a favourite snack when we got home from school!


    Only four weeks - have you started packing?!

  • Morning NOAh...

    I just bought my mum some stained glass bluebells to hang in her patio doors where the sun comes blazing through. Hoping it makes her think to spring and happy thoughts :)

    We have snow clouds and massive hailstorms leaving a cm or 2 of 'snow' at a time right now!

    Your list sounds epic. Take one thing, and complete it. Tick it off. I recommend starting with the decorations. Clear house, clear mind. :)

    Big hugs, we are here! xx
