Hi Mrs H, about 90% healed from the tumble and the cold from hell is improving at last, so much happier bunny here:beer:

I have been naughty and bought some lovely yarn to knit a super chunky snood, cannot find how to post a link on tablet, but it is Sirdar Bohemia in New Wave, I have boxes full of yarn,but fell in love with it, OH reluctantly helped me wind it into a ball and we laughed as he remembered having to help his lovely mum do it when he was a lad and he wanted to be outside, probably getting into some mischief lol.

Glad you are on the mend!

I love new Yarn, it's been a while since I have had any..... my stash is almost used up, :eek: I'm waking my way through odd balls of aran making hats for a charity stall

Yesterday I ordered 4 items off master H's christmas list..... they were on offer and offered free deliveryand a free item worth £30 on a £50 spend.... so 5 wish list items for £54 instead of £103 full price! :money:it's certainly going to be a Nerf filled christmas in the house of hinge :rotfl:

I did buy some christmas pjs and onsies from sainsburys yesterday for the little H's, missy H is completely finished, master H and superman have a ps4 game each to get then we are offically finished.:beer:

I have managed to pick 3 christmas "get togethers" out of the pile and they should all be low cost thankfully! helps that I dont like turkey! :rotfl:

Had a "bill" for the garden bin :eek: and final bill for cancelling my car insurance :eek: but money looks "ok"...... as long as I don't buy anything else christmas related for a few weeks :rotfl:

first of the "get togethers" lastnight, a group of 6 of us, all mums from school. A few birthday thrown in to the mix hence the November bash... "ok" night if rather costly.....£38 for me included a film and a meal. Thankfully someone stepped in when it was suggested we split the bill 6 ways..... I was driving so had 1 coke, they had several bottles of wine would of meant I would of paid nearly double what I had. I'm still pondering why I didn't feel able to speak up and say I would just pay for what I had, I'm not usually bashful.

Busy day of washing, ironing, bleaching the sess pits that are the bathroom and downstairs toilet.....Pack ups to bake for. Dinner to prepare..... it's never ending :rotfl:I scrubbed the manky washer powder drawer today :cool: how does that get so minging?! :eek:

Sold a few bits on the fb selling page, just about covers the paypal payment i made buying master H's xmas presents. waiting to hear on a few items of clothing too. Haven't managed to brave the ebay lisitngs yet :cool: maybe tomorrow!

The little Hinges have had their pocket money payments today cost me a tenner! still it means they have to save and buy their own magazines and tat they used to ask for :rotfl:cheaper longterm!

I have a few hats knitted and ready to go to people that ordered them, they sell for £5 each and I usual donate the money to a charity thinking the £20 would really come in handy at home at the moment wondering if that makes me a terrible person?!

Now I'm not moaning at my weightloss and I am now in just the "over weight" band on the dreaded bmi scale (the top end mind :eek:) but the downside is I look like a bag lady my clothes are hanging off me, I have replaced a few bits as I've gone along but they are now also becoming too big. nothing like having to oink your jeans up every 3rd step at the fear of becoming indecent May have to bite the bullet and get a few more smaller bits to see me through. I did try on a size 16 :j:j (started at a size 24-26:o) coat the other day and it fit lovely!! my coat was new last year and although alittle big(size 18) it is perfectly wearable so I left it in the shop!

Fridge is full, freezer and cupboards chocker so we are good to go with food this week,

thinking something along the lines of
steak and savory rice/chips with salad
beef stew
Keema curry
chinese chicken thighs with noodles and veggies
bbq chicken beasts with bacon/cheese
mayflower chicken curry

I made the decision not to order the school photos or xmas cards this year, over priced and not even very good photos. I can't be the only one who doesn't conform surely?!

Hope all are well

Keep the £20. It DOESN’T make you a terrible person and you’ve done lots of great things for charity. I’m sure you will again in the future, but this time it’s for you.

I also haven’t bought school photos this year. Far too expensive.

Great news on the ever decreasing sizes and only paying for what you had :T.

Thanks Darling, I just feel abit guilty about the decision I made to cull alot of the charity work. I know charity begins at home etc.. but it's always nice to help. Maybe In the New year I will find a solutuion that ticks all options and suits the time I have available and our budget.

How are you? foot still sore?

please-let-me-be-lucky

Actually, foot has been a little better today :j.

I get where you are coming from with the charity things, and I’m sure you’ll find something in the New Year. Xx

We don't do good timing very well in the house of hinge, I had my first training day at work and found out I'm pregnant in the same week My head is in a pickle over what to do for the best, I don't offically start for 3 weeks and haven't signed anything or had my offical "job offer" I know if I tell them I am pregnant they will with draw the job offer, equally if I start with out telling them I am putting myself at risk, the type of work requires pregnancy risk assessments and altered duties....

Nothing is ever simple is it :cool:

please-let-me-be-lucky

Congratulations :j

Have you made any decisions re telling work? Xx

I think so, I have decided it's probably best to tell them and agree not to start work. impeccable timing :cool:
