Off to look at some clothes websites. trying to work out whether a large bundle of clothing I've seen on ebay is worth £20 postage PLUS £30 BIN fee .... I am very tempted though, especially as it's stuff I could get away with wearing for work as well :wave:

michelle, hope DS is better today.
Chunky, hope your tummy ache goes away. I hate the coil too. But if it's cramp, it does get better after 6 months. Oh and start taking magnesium tablets, they work grreat!
Joanne, sad news about FIL, sorry to hear it. Hope you and the family are OK. Concentrate on baby, I am sure tehy will all be looking forward to the birth now.
Pigpen, well done on the [STRIKE]chilcare[/STRIKE] job!

got another list for eBay....:j It's about time to sell a baby swim ring isn't it?

and 3 parcels to post. My profit (after eBay fees for 5 items) not including postage was £8.61!! LOL!

MIL supoposed to be coming up toiday with my birthday present, she better hurry, I wana go to asda (I have even worked out a budget and transfered more money into the savings account!). Hmmm... maybe if she is late I can bully her into watching brats while I go and I can get myself a pair of jeans....

Off for a quick S&S, dress DS2 (who wants to be nakey today) and blow up DS1's bike wheels.

I've got a £25 Debenhams voucher waiting for then :rotfl: I was only planning on hitting the cheap shops like Primark anyways as I basically need to buy a new coat as the one I'm wearing is starting to fall apart and some smart footwear. I know £25 won't go very far in Debenhams though so I'm saving that trip for something like a new suit or something.:D

Hmmm, fair point. I think Debenhams still have their blue cross sale on until Sunday. I'm staying clear so I dont spend any money :rotfl: Maybe worthwhile checking the website?

Try Dunhelm Mill if you have one near. I got a lovely one for my living room for £20. Similiar one in Next was £150 :eek:

Really struggling wih motivation today - fortnight of being too ill to do anything and now the house is just awful.

Johanne - lots of sympathy, just be careful not to get too stressed, bad for the bump and you
Pigpen - congrats on the job

I need to start with Mondays list and work through everything. I also must clean out the chickens if it stops raining long enough. The risk is I'll just make another cup of tea and still be sat here when it is tme to pick ds1 up from school.

I'm hoping DS wants his nap soon as i could do with sitting with my feet up.

I've done a couple of bits, but it seriously takes so long when they are 'helping' you doesn't it, and the paddies if i don't let him are even worse.

pigpen well done on the job - not sure you really need to add more to your to-do list but it should help pay the debts and entertain you a bit. Happy for you.

Nectar i am sure the last letter i got from debenhams from my store card said they were stopping doing the nectar points now. There are so many places that are pulling out of using it that it is getting almost not worth having anymore. We can only collect points at a couple of places now, and the best place was with Barclaycard.

Got all the newborn stuff sorted and washed from the loft, so that should mean i can get that hospital bag packed on monday now. :j Getting there slowly.

I am having another bored and restless day i am afraid. Can't really settle to very much, although it is nice to not have to rush getting DS places.

Barney just finished. My cue to go.

Michelle, x

Congratulations PIGPEN boy are you in for a shock! I started yesterday, I'd forgotten just how hard working for a living actually is. Fortunately I did guilt trip myself into gutting the kids bedrooms and the bathroom yesterday so I didn't feel quite so bad about falling asleep in Baked Beans bed midway through reading her story. She tucked me up with her teddy so I wouldn't be lonely and went to sleep in the big bed because I snore. Nothing at all to do with her watching DVDs in bed then.

I ache all over but I did enjoy every single minute of it. I spent a happy 2 hours this morning playing milk man and then cleaning out the first of the 3 caretakers rooms and slinging anything that wasn't tied down. Filled an industrial wheelie bin with carp including a piece of metal pole with had turned to powder. Disgusting doesn't quite sum it up. Off to do the washing up that I didn't get round to yesterday. Toodle pip all!

pigpen

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!11111 The postie just emptied his sack through my door.. he does that a lot!! I have the new lush paper... EEK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put it in the bottom of the rabbit cage quick!!! lol

Dw on.. Loo painted.. I MUST get something for the floor next.

Thank you to all those who sent congrats.. I am still quite pleased.. VERY apprehensive though.. I've never had a proper job for an employer before.. I have worked for a family friend and done collecting for my stepdad.. but it isn't the same is it?

Michelle.. thanks.. but I do need something to get me out of the house and mingleing with other grown ups adding to my list!!!

Moo.. I'm aware it is going to be a massive shock to the system but it is initially only one or two days a week and if I can't cope with that I think I need to seek help lol.. My main issue will be being TOLD what to do.. I will not be told anything.. if I am asked that is fine.. but it seems a lovely organisation and I know a lot of the staff already so hopefully all will go smoothly.

Todays list..
