    It took about 6 months I think but I only did a few surveys as most of them were for £3 / £4 / £5 each so it didn't take long to mount up :D

    Morning all !!! I am shattered again this morning, I must have an earlier night tonight :rolleyes: :D

    Ds is going to his dads in a couple of minute and then my plan for today is (a) buy a pair of jeans (b) try and find stuff for Mr Bump outfit (c) 10 things on ebay (d) hopefully a night out tonight with a mate (e) pay in cheque

    Ds is dead set on Mr Bump now ... I'm thinking along the lines of a blue top, blue trousers, blue face paint, and then sew a few bandages on ???? I don't want to go too mad but I like the challenge too :D

    Have a good day !!! :D

    Ex picked ds up and made a big thing about telling him that he and his girlfriend were taking him out somewhere special for the day. I still hate them playing happy families with my son :mad: :mad: Its been 2 and a half years now and it shouldn't bother me anymore but it still does sometimes :confused: I just hate the fact that I am the one left to do everything for ds because he couldn't face up to his responsibilities but once a fortnight I have to hand over ds to the person who has hurt me more than anyone else in the world and let him and his girlfriend go and play happy families with him and parade him like a bloody trophy :mad: :mad: :mad: I know I know I know ... in time ds will know who was there for him and everything like that, but right now it still bugs me sometimes :confused::confused:

    Anyway, I decided to go shopping straight after he went, which ended up meaning more depression :rolleyes: The town has all the normal high-street stores but I like Levis or Diesel jeans and nowhere here sells them :rolleyes: I did try on others but they all just highlighted how much weight I have put on and made me feel even worse :o:o I still managed to spend money on stuff I didnt really need (£3.75 in Asda for a pair of pj's a spare green jumper for school for ds), £14 in Sainsburys on some kiddie shampoo / hand wash, baby wipes to keep in the car, hot cross buns, sweets and a jumper for me :o , £3 on a book for a birthday present, and £3 for the car park.

    So, back home now, I've just put the hot water on and I'm gonna have a bath, do my eyebrows, whack on some fake tan etc etc, and hopefully I might feel a bit better later ;):D

    I've had my bath, done my eyebrows, painted my toenails, defuzzed etc and I am feeling human again ;):D I have decided not to go out tonight though as I will rush about between now and then and not get much achieved ;) So, instead I am going to make a list of things I'd like to do and then if I don't get them done it doesn't really matter as it is half-term starting next weekend so I'll have a whole week to get stuff done :D
