OOh how did you win the SW meals?
This diary malarky is just getting out of hand
My SW group has 2 FB pages Beanie, a closed one for members and an open one to encourage others. I commented and tagged on a competition on the open page (to drum up business for the consultant) and won the prize :T. XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
Best win so far - holiday to Florida0 -
Another NSD, so ending the month on 6. This isn’t bad considering I only count NSDs when I spend NOTHING at all, but it could be improved upon and I will try to better it next month.
Took the dog to the beach again today. He jumped over a fence while we were there, and caught his foot as he did so. It made an awful bang and he limped afterwards. I thought he would’ve broken it, but thankfully it seems fine and there are no outward signs of injury. Will keep an eye on it.
DS1 is at his night at the museum thing tmw.
DH says he feels a bit wavy tonight.

Hairy moment when dropping DS1 off this morning for his museum trip - he had a panic attack and was refusing to go in :eek:. Tried the softly softly thing, and then the annoyed ‘go in or you don’t go to Florida’ thing and nothing was working. We had waterworks and everything - totally unexpected. In the end, he agreed to go in, saw his mate and we’ve heard nothing since. Kids!!
DH has had another wave tonight but has otherwise been ok. I’m full of cold - again- and feel grotty. Hope I manage some sleep tonight.
Went shopping in town after dropping DS1 off and happened upon the New Look sale. Bought 3 pairs of trousers/jeans for £26, which was a 50% saving. Was all pleased until I realised that when I paid I didn’t use the £20 gift card I’ve had for there since my birthday in September :mad:.

Oh no poor DS1, I bet he's having a fantastic time right now. As you say kids!
Sorry you've got another cold.
At least you have an excuse to buy more things in New Look.

Boo to forgetting the voucher - I hate it when things like that happen. At least they seem to always have a sale on and you could get something nice for Florida.
Poor DS1, wonder what brought that on? Hope it's just a technical hitch and not the shape of things to come. DD used to get really bad panic attacks when she was at school.
I've only just got rid of the cold that started mid December.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
EEk to your DS.
