Diary of my new life !!!

benbenandme

Morning all The sun is shining again and it looks like being another beautiful day We're off to the park in a bit to meet a friend and her two boys, then ds is going to my mums after lunch and staying for a sleepover He's dead excited about it, and it will give me time to crack on with the last bit for his party and hopefully even a bit more money-making, possibly some ebaying today

Todays list:

• Go to the bank ... pay in 2 cheques, change address and find out why my account has disappeared off my online banking page :rolleyes:
• Buy ds birthday card, wrapping paper and balloons
• Check stuff for party bage and buy as necessary
• Decide on a birthday cake for ds and but stuff/plan as necessary.
• Put 6 items on ebay
• Collect parcel from post office

Think thats about all for now
Each birthday I make ds a cake, its becomea little tradition,one year I did a thomas cake, the next year I did a dustman lorry tat he wanted :eek:,last year was a bendy bus :rolleyes: ... he hasn't come up with anything yet this year soit might be my choice

Been to the bank, the lady said there are problems at head office with online banking so not to worry about it, I said I wasn't worried, more inconvienienced than worried :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
We also went to the library and ds has signed up to the summer reading challenge, they have to read6 books over the summer and they get a sticker to put on a chart for each one,and then if theydo all 6 they get a certificate sent to their school for them Hopefully that will help him feel better at school too

I've just booked in another mystery shop for August, it will pay me 8.50 fee and I have to buy 3.00 of stuff which I get to keep and they refund for me Will be easy enough to do as its a supermarket

Awww....get you being all organised.

My day went to pot really. Been really worried all day. Went to feed my baby last night and her eye had gone white and all swollen. My baby is a rat by the way, not a human baby.

Anyway, I had to get her into see the vet today. So wasted most of the day doing that. Cost £14.95 for the consultation, some antibiotics in her food and some eye drops. Well it's more cream I have to rub on to her eye really.

I have to ring on Tuesday to let him know how she's getting on, might need more medication for her. Or if it's worse, then we will either have to remove her eye or get her put to sleep. I'm sooooooo worried its untrue. She's 2 and a half and my baby.

But I'll be a good mummy and try my best for her. Hows Button by the way? Any progress?

benbenandme

No more news on Button yet, I think I'm delaying the inevitable really, I just know ds will be dead upset when he goes

I've been very productive so far, I've .... cleaned the hall cupboard out and hoovered the bottom of it :eek: ,dusted and cleaned the hall, emptied out the shelving unit in the lounge and the drawers and sorted everything in both,dusted,cleaned and hoovered the lounge, loaded/unloaded the dishwasher, done a load of washing, sorted all the non-food cupboards in the kitchen, taken the rubbish out and cleaned the kitchen floor :T :T :T I'm dead pleased with what I've got done so far but I still have the bedrooms to tackle The bathroom shouldn't take long as it was done the other day,just a quick whizz round in there should be fine I'm just having 5 minutes on here first though before I get on again

benbenandme

Right my room is done and I've also filed / binned / actioned the paperwork mountain that had bred on the table :rolleyes:
Now its time fora nice bath, sort out my eyebrows and then crack on with some ebaying tonight

benbenandme

Well the bath was nice, eyebrows are done,but the ebaying hasnt happened yet My sister popped in with ds birthday present for saturday then my mum popped round :rolleyes: Never mind, I've done quite a bit today so I'll have another go tomorrow, but I really must get cracking with ebay properly or my summer challenge total is starting tolook pretty poor

benbenandme

Last night I made a quick list of stuff I can ebay and I came up with about 20 items. My aim today is to get them all onto ebay :eek:

I also must make up the party bags for tomorrow and sort out a cake. I have found a snakes and ladders one in my book that he will like, it is a battenburg cake cut up (can use angel cake if don't like marzipan ), with curly wurly ladders and jelly snakes on it Looks dead simple, but haven't got as much time left as last year

The weather isn't looking too hot today either so it will mainly be an indoor day I think :rolleyes:

Karmacat

You are *so* organised! Its the practical stuff that I admire - I spend far, far too much time on the computer, not all of it even on here..... if I'd done less of the useless free bingo yesterday, I might've made some coconut oaty biscuits thingies - now I'll probably have to buy some... well done you, love the sound of the cake.

6 items listed so far :j :j
