Morning all. Hope everyone is well, and its not too dull 7 foggy wherever you are (unlike here!)
Life has been pretty uneventful (not a bad thing) in the fluffy household, so although I keep up to date with you all, I havent really had anything to add...
Until today! Finally got offered a T.A job, at youngest dds school! Start after half term, sooo excited. Its going to take a bit of getting used to being back part time, but it means I can drop the 3 part time jobs, and just focus on doing what I love :-)
Also making a good dent on this years birthday & christmas gifts. My birthday box is actually looking pretty full, and I purchase an item or two every couple of weeks from my amazon wish list, as and when they drop in price! 3ds is down to £70 at the moment, just hoping it stays there until I get paid Friday and that will be dd2's main gift sorted.It's not about getting what you want, It's about wanting what you get.0 -
arrgh lost my post
pinknfluffy congrats on the new job
pixtotts congrats on getting your chickens
newthrift sounds like the wedding planning is coming along nicely
Freespirit how your little man doing? bet hes getting big already
taz woke up today with a S&D bug :eek:_pale_ so nothing much happening here again for the next few days. this yr has to get better at some point right?
If anyone sees any great deals on playdoh a headsup would be appreciated not in any rush but Taz has developed an obsession with the stuff and homemade isn't "right" apparently. for a toddler he is very opinionated if a little ocd with things having to be done a certain way.
Tc allthis year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk0 -
PrincessKitty, that's a lovely thought.:)
Mandco hope the horrible bug disappears very quickly.
Pinknfluffy, was thinking of you the other day and the others who haven't posted for a while - glad it's only because there wasn't anything to say. Huge congratulations on the new job - so glad it's all worked out ok. Feisty are you out there? Was wondering how DH is getting on and if there's any news on the flat?
Be strong MrsM - hope you make it to the end of the 11ft.It's the most wonderful timeof the year :0 -
pinknfluffy Congratulations on the new job! :T
Pixtotts Hope you enjoy the chickens & get lots of lovely fresh eggs.
MrsM Keep going with the edging as you will get there in the end.
Newthrift Remember to keep us updated with your wedding plans.
Nothing much to report here. Had a clear out of some clothes at the weekend. Will have to clear out some paperwork so might make a start with that this weekend!A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

Evening everyone, oh this Kon Mari decluttering thing is getting addictive i havent even bought the book yet just reading different things about it and the 'hold your items and ask yourself do they bring you joy' is amazing! i am decluttering like mad because i think actually no it doesnt, so off it goes :rotfl::rotfl:
MRSMONEYPENNY wow 11ft!! The thought of holding your grandbundle of joy, wrapped in your special blanket will keep you going
PINKNFLUFFY lovely to see you posting, congratulations on your new job, it will be so much less stressful than holding down 3 different jobs
MANDCO aww he is doing fine, he was round today so i had a cuddle for a couple of hours while DD2 went to BnQ, he had his first crying paddy today when we put him in his car seat to go home and DD2 panicked herself silly, i just laughed and said get used to it:D he is such a placid baby that is the first time she has seen him really cry like that at 3 1/2 months??? She thought he must be ill bless her, oh sorry poor little taz has a horrible bug, i hope it goes quickly and you dont end up with it. Im sure i did see playdoh on offer the other day, i will have to think where i saw it, sorry i did have to giggle when he said it wasnt quite right

Still in Scotland which I am loving. However with me being me and my run of luck I had a accident yesterday
fell down three concrete steps landed on more concrete gravel and really damaging my foot
two trips to the hospital - knee length leg brace and compression bandages along side crutches. Never had such a painful injury and hate being out of action especially because my four Goddaughters love me doing stuff with them , looks like I am up here longer than thought..
Sending hugs cNanMias - cyber granddaughter!
