Afternoon all - another lovely day

Serendipitious

Good afternoon all. And happy holidays to Tweets.

DGD was happy as can be with her birthday gift of a full set of FF books.

Thank you Blippar.

DGS equally thrilled with his gift of a dinosaur book

Thank you table-top sale for my bargain in mint condition.

(I'm still at the stage where I feel it's nice to bring the unbirthday child a little something.)

They are now all busy partying...

Glorious afternoon, long may it last.

Good afternoon Elite.
Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
Been AWOL as a bit stressed due to cut in working hours from this week and wondering how I was going to pay the mortgage. So just thought I'd share....went for an interview yesterday and was offered the job this morning. Thank you so much to all the Elite for your support over recent weeks.

Very pleased for you and also very glad they gave you the good news so quickly - when do you start?

Finally all my glitching over the past six months has been handed over. They have a loft full of nappies and dd said the other day....I can't believe how many nappies I'm using, you've saved us a fortune :j literally music to my ears
I took them to Preston on Monday to register the birth and somehow we got onto the subject of baby food. I passed a comment about the boxes of baby porridge and jars etc I've got waiting for when she is 4 months and Dd bf said have you bought us baby food aswell......my reply was.....not really bought :rotfl: he just thinks I'm a nutter. He also looked sceptical when I gave him some of the sharpies....he asked, can I really use these to shave my face. ...me....of course you can. ....dh when I told him :eek: they may be shaped differently :rotfl: we will have to wait and see :rotfl:
After a few nights back in hospital with jaundice mum and baby are back home and doing great. I don't think I'd ever really thought about what kind of mum she would be but she's just perfect

Very pleased mum and baby are home in time for this lovely spring weather - they must have been fed up of the hospital by the time they finally escaped

and you me, it seems my cyber friends think more of me than my real life ones xxxx
I have dire finances today so overdraft was over this morning but a quick trip to the shed and a quick type and I am £75 up which I promptly put in the bank on my way to A ....(secret stash of pretty garden benches that are BNIB but mum was going to put them out front as FREE....is she crazy ?) ....one more to sell and a BNIB ladies bike and im back in the black so to speak :T:T:T xx

Very satisfying
I did wonder after Christmas, I was in Sainsbobs they had their Christmas trees reduced to £15 and they seemed to be going very well - I thought some people must have a nice dry garage or brick storage to store them away to sell in November for a good bit of extra Christmas money, better return than £15 left in the building society

I would wait until I have confirmed they have arrived, as would not want anyone getting ripped off, but I went to love2choose.co.uk and I could use my love2shop card there to buy amazon cards. I should know by Tues/Wed.

Why don't you buy the dark fruits as well?
It could always be exchanged for a different pack tomorrow?

Interesting idea
Ive been dithering about buying the Amstrel but really I just need to go and do it. Oh is almost TT now but he would share a larger bottle rather than opening a bottle of wine.

And its not as if we are over run with supplies now - all the cidre and Old Mould is gone and very little of the peculiar ciders as Errant son has been drinking them
