Happy Birthday Kaz hope you have a nice spending day tomorrow too

Just checked the weekend list, hmmm, wondering if I can get it all done tomorrow, then just dinner to do on Sunday........speaking of which reminder to self to get meat out of freezer in morning!

In a little strop, owed back payments for something but been told it won't be paid until 24th of flipping March! It's not a small amount either, suppose at least it'll be in just before the rent is due. Might just rework finances now and allocate it as rent fund.

Speaking of rent, just been looking through rental adverts, at least 8 houses we looked at are STILL up for rent, 4 turned us down for reasons such as 'dogs would cause too much damage' but of course my 2 haven't done damage here, are cleaned up after daily and I keep the house smelling nice by keeping it clean aswell as airing out daily. They have all had to drop the prices too, over £100 less on one of them. They could have had over £3000 plus the deposits (which I offered to double because of the pets) off me while the property has been empty, silly people would rather have an empty house. At least I know there is plenty on the market if anything does happen here, some cheaper 4 bedroom ones included! Oh well, they might learn to be a little less fussy.

Done most of my list now, need to slightly edit the meal plan after looking at the calendar and offering to play taxi on Monday for a friend of DPs who is coming over, he's a nice friend tho, really nice lad and we don't see him much. DP can sort takeaway for them or I might be nice and cook them something. Might cheer DP up who's in a right mood tonight as pubs have got a later licence so means a later night for him.

Off to bed now after sorting pooches out for the evening, see you all tomorrow xxx

Pinch and a punch for the first of the month flyfriends

Kaz happy belated birthday, hope you enjoy today.

I tried explaining the concept of leap years to DS3 but did not get very far especially as he would not believe that a month lasted approximately 4 weeks!

Been awake since stupid o'clock with another stinker of a headache - gone now though thanks to the parrots - it was so windy here last night fromt he window most things look intact but need to go out and look at the roof as it sounded very funny above our bed last night.

Going to start listing my ebay stuff - it is photographed and weighed and I have been watching similar items on there so hopefully won't take long.

We are off to lunch at Mum's tomorrow so I need to go to town and get her something later.

OH has busy day taking DS3 to footie, DS1 to sort out new golf clubs for his birthday next week and DS2 to get a cricket helmet as his nets start on Monday.

Finisehd reading the thread so

Tia - sorry to here about your car. I asked next door this week to get someone to chop a branch off their huge cherry tree. I love trees but a big branch overhangs our garden and a means I can grow anything there and b the tree is not in great shape and I'm worried the branch could fall on the kids/cats or more importantly me!

AnW'smum send you huge hugs for the weekend and coming week, it's going to be tough and we are going to be here for you every step of the way hun. Just keep remembering how proud of you everyone is including your beloved.

Morning Dusky. Have to say I didn't sleep to well kept wondering which child was going to try and crawl into bed because f all the noises outside. Ds did but only once so not too bad.
YAAAYYYY, I go on holiday next month


Am going to have a look at the lovely list that Pigpn has done for us. Am hoping there isn't too much although I do keep making my one things to add to my list and the list is getting bigger and bigger but I don't seem to be doing much. Nuch see if I can get DH to some bits today and TOMORROW (surely on Mothering Sunday DH can do a few bits for me - hmmmm not quite sure that will happen but we will see)

Am going to go to Church tomorrow with my sister and my niece so that she can sing a song. One more Angel in Heaven -a song in Joseph, say a prayer and a speech for her mummy. Have to say not looking forward to it and know I am bound to get upset.

Dustykitten

Mumofjusttwo hugs for tomorrow hun, there is nothing I can say to help but I might be able to make you smile. I dreamt last night that we got thrown out of church (we don't even go) by our headmistress (who is an ogre) as DS3 was doing his homework in the pews and the whole congregation turned on us.

Still not started my ebay listings

mumofjusttwo

thanks Dusty you did make smile. Well hey if you can get a child to do homework that must be a good.



Must go and check weekend list although doubt I will do much-never do- but don't tell Pigpen.

Morning All

Just finished catching up with the thread - attempted it last night while I was at my parents' house but I can't thank or anything while I'm there so I gave up!

I'm going out for dinner tomorrow - there's actually 10 of us going - us lot, brother's lot and mum and dad - so that'll be nice.

Hope everyone has a good day

Morning :wave:

v. windy here through last night and so far this morning. Ideal drying day - shame I've caught up with most of the washing! I will have to see what I can find...

I have done myslef a little talbe of ebay and paypal fees as I don't really take these into account so on items which don't sell for much I often don't think I make anything.

Do you all add fees into your postage and how much? I have worked out if something sells for £10 it will cost me £1.54 if they pay by paypal - that is right isn't it?
