    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    A big thing has happened and I'm taking a few days off. DS3 and 4 have had a big loss, well we as a family have if I'm honest :(. Fell heavy hearted and there's nothing I can do apart from be there as we share hugs.

    DH still shopping, joints getting better, I'm allowed to be up for the day but back flat at tea time :eek:go figure :rotfl:




    Hope you've all got your pressies in and wrapped, not long now xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
  • Right I have to go and collect two very excited littlies, one more sleep and they are off to the frozen north to see Father Christmas.

    Neither of them have been on a plane before, I was telling DGD it was kind of like a bus only much much bigger and much more comfortable and lots more fun and she asked if you have to ring the bell if you want to get off...

    More explanations needed...

    Can I ask has everyone's purchases for the Apple sauce, stuffing and gravy granules tracked on quidco CS from last week? I've just checked and mine or hubby's aren't showing under the clicksnap activity. Not sure If I should raise a claim yet.

    CS generally takes longer to track/payout than CoS - nothing to panic about, it normally happens eventually.

    not not me but it is exactly my sort of day gone very wrong, however much planning you do everything goes against you ...

    Ive only had minor sort of annoyances today - I started some therapeutic kitchen cleaning and cupboard sorting which was actually going well but Oh came home early so its still not finished and now my ooomph has gone and the contents of one cupboard are on a tray so I have to finish tommorow.
    And I didn't get around to the extra wrapping
    Also Oh gave me a link for some engine (dont ask) he wanted which needless to say was no longer available. He then gave me 2 more links this afternoon so I purchased one and the payment has not gone through properly. There is a vague hope it will go through overnight but its unlikely. Its showing as an e cheque and payment pending for December 29th despite there being plenty of money to cover it ...
    So technically Ive still not got OH anything ...
    I have though got guest bed changed so thats something ...

    We didn't tell our kids we were going to Lapland until we got to the airport, just got them up at the right time, then got them up again and went :D Used all sorts of excuses to get them to try on the thick gloves :D
