Happy Birthday Enterprise. Have a great day.“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it.” ~ Ferris Bueller0

Good morning all...
Firstly a huge big thank you to everyone who thought of me yesterday....it truly is appreciated and I am only half way reading back over the weekend events but felt very emotional at your hugs...thank you x
I can't deny it was a hard weekend as DS is not home until next weekend but DH and I spent it in quiet reflection doing the garden.
Next weekend will be our mothers day once DS is home....but this year it felt right to try an "angel mothers day" yesterday. That way it feels as if we may be able to spend time separately,at least in thought,with both our boys.
I do hope that all the mums had special days yesterday however you chose to mark them and hopefully the sun shined on whatever you all did.
I hope the wedding went well...again hopefully a lovely sunny day filled with love and family time.
My dear Dizzy D .... I'm glad you have enjoyed your special birthday and again hope that the party was fun filled.
I shall be back with a little more update once I've caught up with the thread...but until then hope the week is starting well for all xxfrugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

Thinking of you and your DD. It will soon be done and that lovely baba will be here.0 -
I had an alternative Mothers Day. I spent most of the day at my house getting all the clothes sorted for the laundry company who are collecting it all tommorow. I sorted out enough clothes to last me a couple of months and washed them at Mums and was able to dry them all on the line. Then I cleared out the indoor freezer and threw away a bit and squeezed rest into the shed freezers.I am running a lead in through one pf the bedroom windows and plugging into the temporary power supplies. Wonder whether I should have just let all the freezers stay off and claimed for it on the insurance. But in true Elite style I could not bear to part with all my bargain buys. Got some lovely presents from my children and nice cards. My younger sister did lunch for Mum and send me a lovely roast dinner and creme brulee.
Been eating rubbish since this happened so I am trying to eat more healthily and get off the pounds I have gained. I like to have control of my life so at least I can control that. I also washed all my gym gear and I am rejoining this week.
Happy birthday Enterprise and anyone else with a birthday. Hope the wedding went well for MHOC'S dd. Cant wait to see the pics.0 -
I suppose you need the week to get over the Birthday celebrations :rotfl: :rotfl:
Catch up on the lottie no doubt, we've still got stuff to plant but I'm not allowed to do anything down there, not since the leaves incident. I wouldn't care but it was me that taught Mr AJ about veggie growing :cool:
That was the plan :rotfl:
Lots of catching up to do - clearing up from yesterday and hoping to start allotmenty stuff later today when it's warmed up a bit
We've had the chickens for two years today so they'll get some "birthday" treats today too :cool:I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Health & Beauty, Greenfingered Moneysaving and How Much Have You Saved boards.

So I'm back from the weekend catch up on the thread....
Mrs 3 Dogs ....I'm not sure I have the wise words yet,but what an emotional time you are in...you have a heart of gold,never forget that x
Di...I bet you are all emotions too...lets hope something happens soon and those mummy cuddles are soon enjoyed by all x
and its a very Happy birthday to Enterprise who I think may still be in Italy....what a lovely place to spend the day x
Toiletries weekly update.....it was a much better week last week in the outs which were as follows
A hydrating Mist full sized....no idea what its been doing but was sent it to test last year and have been applying it daily to my face....wouldn't buy one again.
A bath bomb
Tube of toothpaste
Sample sized soap
compressed deo
Large bottle of nivea body lotion....has taken forever to use up so glad its gone now
A sample of beauty vinegar....your guess is as good as mine!.....it lasted 2 days smelt surprisingly pleasant and not as expected but again what its benefits were I cannot say.....
off to get on with the day....was hoping it would be a little more sunny as I do want to put some washing out...but it seems cloudy and grey,I guess at least its not raining.frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
