  • Fantastic chocolate win. xx
  • Thanks all. Voucher arrived today, really quick service! They sent a catalogue with the voucher and I’m rather shocked at the prices, but I can get a few presents with it if I’m clever.

    Restarted my journey at chub club this morning. Hopefully I can get my head in the right place this time.

    DH keeps falling asleep today :(.

  • I’d enjoy it more if the stroppy teen didn’t hate me. Apparently he wishes I was never his Mum. :(.

    They get over it eventually, although I'm pretty certain DD still hates me. Am I bothered - :rotfl:

  • Thanks for the words of wisdom guys! I confiscated his phone etc last night, so hopefully he’s had time to reflect on his actions/attitude. He has even tidied his room this morning :eek:.

    Hotel Chocolat have sent me an email with a 15% off voucher online or instore. By my reckoning that turns my £45 voucher into £51.75 :T. Even better.

    £50 from YouGov hit my account yesterday so that’s a few more pennies for Christmas too. Finally starting to feel like I might just about manage *touches wood*.
