    Afternoon all

    Hugs to all who need them especially Mrs Mix and Catznine's DD.

    HARIBO I go through phases of insomnia where I have found the best thing is to go with the flow and not get irrate about it. I have tried loads of different sleeping pills and none of them work on me.

    Have had a very productive day. Have dusted, polished, hoovered and scrubbed all the mould out of the bathroom. So looking forward to my stew, just waiting for dumplings to cook:D . Have been starving today.

    Taking DS for his first karate lesson in a bit.

    Have a good evening :A xxxx

    17 LOADS OF LAUNDRY???! Plus 4 more??!

    Are you the neighbourhood laundrette??? I have the image of your house full of wet laundry and no room to move.

    I know it's scary isn't it, the thoughts of having so much washing stacked up. :o

    Thankfully, it is all up to date with the drying so no wet laundry lying around!

    To be honest, I don't know what went wrong last year, I had very little energy, and what little I had was used up at my job. Anyway, I'm feeling much better now and the house is looking like it should.

    Hi all,

    Haven't had a chance to keep up to date with thread today as haven't stopped!! ... again!!:D

    I'm really proud of myself ... on top of everything. I'm really happy with ironing as things come out of the washing machine ... really helping to keep on top of the washing/ironing cycle. I've hoovered everywhere ... just a bit of washing up to do in a min. I've done a store cupboard inventory and subsequent shopping list which should last for next fortnight .. with minimal top ups.

    Hope everyone's had a good day xx

    Im one of the people who wait until last minute to place bids:o , i then enter my maximum at about 4 mins to go, this then gives me a btter chance of getting it at a lower price, as it gives others less time to bid up, thats just the way i have always done it, i had a item i was selling finish tonight had over 66 watchers most iv ever had, and most of them waited until last minute to bid.
    But im so please iv made over £240 in a week on ebay!! Just selling the kids old toys and consoles!!!
    Proud to be DEBT FREE AT LAST

    Hi everyone,
    Just eaten the lovely brisket dinner that i made and am now stuffed and lounging on the sofa for a few minutes.
    I`ll let the food settle then it`s back off into the kitchen to clean and make sandwiches for the morning.
    I`m afraid i`ve been spending again :eek: and i`ve now used all of the freezer budget and most of next weeks too but i`m confident that towards the end of the month we won`t need anything. I`ll update my sig later, i also need to add the things i`ve bought to the freezer inventory and my meal plan needs updating as it`s already changed for the week.
    I went out and bought the food flask that i`d been wondering about so i hope it`s as good as it sounds as it will be very convenient for me when i`m at work and also very MS as it`l stop me popping into the shops for sandwiches etc.
    The new hoover is resting at the back of the room, i`m surprised i`ve not worn it out today, rather embarrassingly i found that it empties from the bottom of the cannister instead of the top, i`m too lazy to read instructions and as i was peering into the hole that the filter came out of i pressed a button and the bottom dropped out, all the dust and muck dropped out and went flying around in the garden in the wind :rotfl: hope no one saw me :D .
    Right i`m off as i need to get things done i have a 345am start in the morning and i`m NOT looking forward to work at all have a good evening everyone!!
    SD
    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p

    Well after my sleepless night I had a rubbish day at work. OH gave me really difficult stuff to do which I just can't grasp and he can't grasp that I can't grasp it IYSWIM. :o
    I ended up tearful and fell asleep at my desk. :o:o:o
    I've just had a row with the girls too over their TV addiction and as a result the Haribo house is not a fun place to be tonight. :rolleyes: .
    I just wish I could stomach some alcohol. :o

    Have a lovely evening everyone.

    xxx

    haribo and those others that can't sleep, have you tried sleepytime t-bags? I used to be a terrible sleeper,(still am sometimes) but one of these a night sends me right off, you can get them in sainsbugs

    Hope you sleep better tonight xx
