I'm sure the iron will be excellent quality and will make the job easier
. I hope the costume transaction goes smoothly on Monday.

Sold a nativity costume this morning (well in principle anyway, doing the transaction at school on Monday!!), and hopefully have a buyer for another costume too. Feel like I need to make as much as possible to cover the cost of a new iron I bought. Got it half price in Black Friday sale, but it was still £30. Hopefully it will make the task so much easier though, my old one has been putting black marks on everything and doesn’t ever get properly hot.
Cause and effect, good life lesson
Ironing never being my thing, I can't imagine a new one bringing joy but to each their own0 -
The new iron is just amazing! I know it must sound weird to someone who doesn’t like ironing CCW, but it’s made the job take half the time and it actually looks like I’ve bothered to iron the clothes
.
DH had a partial seizure last night, first one in a few weeks so the break was good while it lasted. He’s been ok today, just a wee bit slow.
Joined in the cyber Monday craze and ordered a few more Christmas presents. Hoping I’m almost done now, though have been doing my Mum’s shopping too so I might be in a false sense of security as I feel like I’ve done loads but it’s not all mine. Have made another £5 Amazon voucher on Swagbucks so have £22 in my account now :T.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Just catching up after too too looongg....sorry, and glad you're good. Phone screens and me don't get along..despite screen protectors etc so I do sympathise. Glad he had the grace to apologise and recognise he'd been blaming the wrong person..
Love to you all x0 -
Boo to the partial seizure
Sounds like you've done well with the prezzie buying though.

Evening all! Brizzle, lovely to ‘see’ you.
Feeling a bit flat yet panicky tonight. DH has been pretty miserable the last couple of days and I think it’s rubbing off. The panicking is due to getting all the Christmas presents out of the loft and not being as far forward as I thought. The present fund is running dry :eek:.
I’ve text my friend that runs Chub Club and told her we are going to be missing for a while. Really can’t afford it just now XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Sorry you feel miserable, I feel worried about funding Christmas too
. I'm just trying to get as many surveys done as possible.

Thanks both :A.
I attempted an early night but DH had a partial seizure just as we got into bed. He’s now fast asleep (albeit making some jerky movements) and I’m wide awake.
Forgot to say earlier, I donated some stuff to the foodbank today, as they were having a collection at the supermarket. Hoping that will get my good karma going again.
