Jelly Babies' Squidgy Easter Diary

    :hello:

    Just about to start my mountain of ironing re stuff I am selling on ebay. Promised it would be freshly washed and ironed, so here goes :rolleyes: All 4 things have bids on and have a few hours to go and are at £43 with about 20 minutes to go, so more or less covers what I spent on ebay - so all is good.

    Managing a fairly cheap half term. DD was at her friend's yesterday, today she played and then we went swimming (hers was free). Tomorrow they wanted to go to the pictures, so agreed DS can have the day off nursery and we will hire a DVD, pop the popcorn in the microwave and shut the curtains and create our own cinema - very DFW and they are really excited as well.

    Got tomorrow to spend organising what I need to take to London as well and packing my bag as I want to chill out (if that's possible) on Friday morning.

    Unfortunately had some devastating news today that I want to share with people on my diary who are becoming friends, but due to being "outed" before I cannot even do that. DH is away as is my best friend so sat feeling really fed up. Kids are a good distraction but it has really knocked me for six
    :( Puts a lot of things into perspective though.

    Outed..? Yes there's always some wuckfit who thinks they're being clever.

    Thank you and I love your swear words ZTD, will take them on board. May text my "friend" and call her a wuckfit for depriving me of the opportunity to share.

    All ebay stuff duly ironed, also found lots of black trousers in the mysterious ironing basket I forgot I had, so gained clothes. Made about £52 on ebay so negatives my spends on there - so effectively free clothes. All ready to be posted.

    Cat still outside with mouse :rolleyes: maybe I should sell him on ebay.

    One more job and then off to bed. DS is sleeping with me tonight for someone to cuddle, as someone has said to me tonight, cuddles off kids makes it all better.

    Hope you get an OK sleep hun xx

    sent you a pm JB x
  • Morning all

    Thank you for all your lovely PM's last night, you really are a lovely lot and it really helped to write it down and get it out.

    Slept quite well considering but kids had me up far too early. We are just chilling today, having a home made cinema this afternoon and a few jobs to do today - like getting ready for Sunday :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Got some parcels to post re ebay but hopefully apart from postage no need to spend much more.

    Hope you all have a lovely day
