  • I think you're right MTG.. I will go and have a look next week.

    Me and DH talked about it last night.. we just want the littlies to be happy.. surprisingly DD is at home today and I was going to keep DS off, but he was asking to go in.. so I suppose that's positive. it might be a go with it for the next term or so..

    30 Ips0s points this morning and £1.40 on p-base last night..

    Hoping DD is up for a quiet day as I am absolutely whacked and hopeful of 40 winks on the sofa whilst Cbbeebies does my parenting for a while..

  • having just been in SJ's diary, it's reminded me to make an OP, so the £25 I had built up has been sent over.. not expecting massive progress on this, this month.. but every little helps..

    As people have said in their diaries, that's £25 you'll never pay interest on again! :)

    Correct 'hidden', or that's £25 the banks will never earn money again!
    MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......
  • That's so true hidden and SJ!

    Up to £10.30 on 1poll - taken a while to hit £10 as I've been so tired or busy! Another £1.60 on p-base and 175 points on ips0s..

    Littlies asleep and DH on his way home.

    Mr S been and forgot one of the birthday cakes, so refunded me for both.. not overly happy with them, but I've £10.50 off the next shop, so will probably use them again next week and then use Mr T for the Christmas shop and a shop between Christmas and NY and then sign back up for Mr T delivery saver!

    All this Mr S action and I've got £5 worth of Nectar points that I'll put into my fleabay account as I'm watching a few cardies on there for DD..

    Felt so guilty today there was a Christmas Fayre thing at school and I didn't go as DD was poorly, but gave DD some pennies and he wandered around with his best mate and his Mum.. but he really wanted some Star Wars bubble bath which he couldn't buy as it was in the raffle.. so he left School distraught and I just felt so guilty that I wasn't there with him.. need to find some bubble bath for him now as he did super good at School this week and got the Head's award even though he was off for 2 days..

    Hoping all the germs in this house decide to do one this weekend..

    This won't help if it is the Star Wars bubble bath that he really wants as opposed to its Star Wars so I want it. Garbled but I hope you know what I mean. If you have a Home Bargains locally they have Star Wars - Darth Vader advent calendars and they seem to be hanging around. It may be enough to help! I still (sh don't tell anyone) buy my DS in his 30s a Doctor who something every year. I am struggling this year as all I have seen at a sensible price is a board game and I don't think that will cut it. Hope you find something to fit the bill.
  • DH picked up some Hulk bubble bath on his way home and DS was chuffed this morning so much so he's currently sat cuddling it whist watching TV.

    I've woken up feeling so rotten.. so DVD is on and I'm not planning on doing anything at all today / possibly this weekend.. I need to be 100% for next week.

    Blasted winter germs..

  • I may have just spent the build up of Am@zon vouchers on a last pressie for the littlies each.. technically it's not 2016 yet, so I've forgiving myself!

    Just got 50 points on Ips0s, so up to 833 on there out of 1380 for another Am@zon voucher.. Ips0s and p-base seem so busy at the moment..

    Oh - also got 50p on Youg0v earlier..

    Living for every four hours at the moment when I can take some tablets and feel a tiny bit human..

  • Finally got the wrapping done for littlies birthdays and Christmas, got another 5 max to do when they arrive and when I do the next food shop!

    So pleased to have done it all.

    That's all I've achieved today, only DD got dressed.. loads of TV watched. I'm feeling better as well, so back to housework, washing and putting the outside lights up!

    For now, it's Strictly and an early night - rock and roll here!

  • Everyone up at 4.30am here with coughs and runny noses, except DH who has pinched my lie in.

    We are all getting better and coughs sound like they are breaking, plus everyone slept through which is always a good sign. Another day of snuggles and films I reckon.. washing is on and Octonauts is on repeat.. Happy Sunday all!
