D&DD

Hello I'm still here had a hectic day though so not had time to post.
Did some flinging this morning before DS2's pal arrived (what a lovely kid I want to adopt all the boys friends :rotfl: ) 2 x washing and put some away from the tumbledrier,thats about it
Rumblytum I swished and swiped (and baled out downstairs wc as DS3 had 'missed' as usual...)
Rach pleased to hear all went well for you *keeping fingers crossed*
Pigpen hope DD4 has a great party and you make it through in one piece!!

To all the Patients & Mummies/Nurses sorry to hear theres so many down with lurgies at the moment hope you all get well soon

HI All
Took DD shopping for clothes- got her a very prettty skirt half price in Monsoon. I lose the will to live as its so HOT in the shops. haven't done any tasks- but sooo tired must go to bed.

Hope everyone has done what they hoped today and survived the rest

Any other suggestions about packing playmobil for ebay gratefully recieved- mus do last posting before Christmas
Pigpen was searching through old posts and notice you only list 1-15 things on ebay at a time.I listed almost 40 as it was half-price listing and have been so busy sending parcels i haven't had time to read the thread let alone do any housework!

Evening all, veggie out here. I swept up lots of the leaves - still heaps to do. Feeling a bit demotivated but I think Aunt Flo is due soon so not surprised really.

Just having a cuppa and watching xfactor then off to bed with a suduko I think.

See you all tomorrow - football run for me so expect it will be cold and/or wet.

I list up to 150 things at a time.. split over a few days usually.. so I don't have too many finishing at the same time.. I upload in amounts of 10-15 and do up to 50 in one day.. unless it is a free/half price listing day.

I think the highest number I ever had listed at one time was 170.. and it almost killed me getting them all sent!!

You can end them on different days even if they start onthe same one, options for 3, 5, 7 and 10 day listings which means you can stagger it a little on cheap listing days.

Pigpen send me the info for the Quidco thing!! Please!! (Hope the party went ok and chez pigpen isn't too chaotic)

Brrrr cold here, need to find my cardy I think, too tight to put the heating on when it's only me, apart from when DP is in I'm still managing on only having it on for 3-4 hours a day when the kids are getting sorted on a morning and tea time ish before they go to bed.

pigpen

lil_me.. I was just reading back through posts so have just sent it..

anyone else want to be in?? I need your quidco Id and I'll send an invite!! PLEEEEZE!!

I always do 10 day listings.. I have time to think about it then.. and for the world to end so I can get out of posting!! lol

Tia.. Glad he slept well last night.. with luck this will be the turning point and he will be on the road to recovery now his body is less tired.. and yours too!!

thanks for DD4's birthday wishes everyone.. only 1 of the 6 she invited didn't come and she had a fabulous time.. they all ate so much one child walked home holding her tummy!! (my sis saw them up the street) and another one she passed, her mum asked what she ate and apparently she said 'sweets.. lots and lots of sweets!! and then ice cream!!!' .. Honestly they were all force-fed salad and sarnies as well!! and I didn't put buns and bickies out until they had all had proper food!! I am SO mean!!

*coughs and sneezes and snots*

I woke up with a stonking cold.. though the alcohol helped the sore throat I think it may have pushed it into my head lol.. anyway tonight I get to go out with day nurse and alcohol!! I'll either spend all night being sick or collapse in bed and wake up tomorrow night!!

The house isn't too horrific.. just a quick whizz through with the binbag and then the vacuum cleared everything away.. I need to run the DW a secnd time.. but it is all done really.. I just about caught up on the washing too!! Only one basket to get through now!

Thanks Pigpen, just placed a £50 Boots order (I checked Quidco first that's why I wanted the invite), cost me nothing as it's from paypal balance that was just sat there, couple of presents sorted inc one for DP, one for DPs great aunt, another for his step Dad's mother (all this having to buy for extra relatives does my head in so they can have 3for2s!) Annabel Karmel's book for Matthew's Mam, took advantage of extra points voucher I found ADCT83 incase anyone wants 1000 extra points (worth £10) for spending £50. I must have about £60+ worth of points now. They still haven't got some of the toys and stuff in I was going to buy.

Well I've officially made an effort to start more on Xmas shopping, it's sort of jumped up and bitten me on the bum with the move and everything...

Kitchen is done apart from the dishwasher which this time decided not to let go of the tablet properly I think, it was splattered over the door, none of the dishes clean so that is back on..

pigpen

I have loads of christmas shopping to do.. and no cash!!!

It'll all get done but it might mean skipping a bill or two! Or minimum payments for a month!

pigpen

Now I've realised the time I am off to the pub.. see you later!!

xxxxxxxxxx
