Diary of my new life !!!

Hi Benben,

I just wanted to say a huge well done for all of the progress you have made. If I can possibly do half as well as you, I'll be over the moon.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's started early on Bday presents for next year. I don't have a ds to buy for, but I have just bought my lil step sister a pressie. She's starting high school next year, so I've bought her a mobile phone to use in emergencies (to let people know if she's missed a bus, will be late etc). I got it in Tesco for £20, which was £19.99 off!

Keep up the good work hun, you're an inspiration to us all.

We did have a lovely time when we went and ds has talked about it all year so it was definatly worth it I'm having problems getting my itunes working now :mad: it says its detected a problem and may not work properly ... its not working at all :mad: :mad: :mad: Just off to the techie board to see if anyone there can help

hi there hon, don't worry about the housework, just got in from seeing to DP and have crashed ont sofa!! need a big boot up me botty!!

Hope you manage to get itunes working, i'd go kerazy if i lost mine!! although they say all the tunes are free after the first time you have downloaded them can you imagine trying to remember every song you had on there!!!

Was really inspired by your sick day during the week and the fact it turned money making instead!! As my school report used to say, Ican do better I must do better, so i shall take some of your inspiration and work on it tinight and tomorrow me thinks. thanks for being an inspiration to us all hon. xx

I wanna go to lapland! see what you've all done - now I'm feeling left out! Maybe I'll try a "get to lapland for nothing challenge" to myself for 2008, although I'll (hopefully) be DF will be saving hard for new(er) car, and to move house.
Well done on the birthday pressie benben, that's super organised!

I've just read through my list for stuff to do today and I've hardly done any of it Hoovering and dusting is done and we both had our baths but thats about it
Just seen the Royal Variety is on tonight so thats a good incentive to turn the tv off and get some stuff done :rotfl:

My plans last night to get stuff done didn't come to much ... I found another new friend online to talk to who is very cute and we talked for about 2 hours then, the wierdest thing ever, reaing hypnos diary I saw a post from duhy and it turns out I know her in rl, we used to work together about 10 years ago !! It was lovely to "chat" to her on pm's and feels really wierd knowing someone from here in rl !!
Today I spent £2.20 on lunch and £5.19 in somerfield on bits. I'm shattered today as I didnt go to bed till gone midnight so I want an early night tonight

Spends today = £5.20 on cradle cap shampoo and cream for ds and £3.20 on caster sugar / flour / bicarb of soda to make more gingerbread biscuits.

Ds never had cradle cap as a baby but has had a patch of it for a while and when I comb his hair when its wet its started falling out in clumps and he has a bald patch :eek: The pharmacist said its fairly normal :rolleyes: but if it doesnt improve in a week to see the doctor Luckily his hair is thick so it can be covered up quite easily, I'm just hoping it grows back okay
Ds has been behaving much better at school this week which is good, I'm going to see him in his school play tomorrow I'm really looking forward to it, to me its one of the best bits of christmas

Hye benben - so does Sophia! She has like a thick, scaly build up and when I try to comb it out/scrape it off, it makes her hair come out Perhaps I should take her to the drs about it as have tried though cradle cap things, olive oil rubs and various other things. Not really sure what else to try.

Well the biscuits are made but they're not that great I'm sure they'll still get eaten, but they are a bit crunchy :rolleyes:
I have decided to write a weekend-style list of stuff for tonight as otherwise I'll just veg on the sofa surfing away on here all night and not get much done
So ....

• wash and straighten my hair ready for ds play tomorrow
• check clothes are ready (and ironed :rolleyes: ) for works night out tomorrow night
• pay council tax
• pay next account
• address christmas cards
• pack bag ready for work tomorrow
• complete ds home learning book
• phone my Mum

Think thats about it ... I have done quite well already this evening, we made the biscuits, ds had a bath and I cleaned the bathroom afterwards, I also tidied and cleaned the kitchen too ... can you tell my Mum is coming to stay tomorrow night :rotfl:

Wow - you're going to have a productive night
