pigpen positive money vibes to you. You sound a bit down today. Don't be so hard on yourself. Most of us find it hard dealing with a few people's worth of unexpected, when you multiply that by the number of people you are dealing with it must be very hard to be on an even keel. Plus, things like school uniform that is normally in the summer hols, so you can't feel too bad about that. Hope that money comes easily to you so it will ease your stress, and hope you manage to get someone who can watch tiddles for you.

I had a dream last night that i was at a party at your house for some reason. It was so lively with lots of people particularly kiddies. Don't know what made me dream of that.

Thanks.. ((hugs))

I'm not down.. it is money and I can't make it appear so I don't stress about it.. but I have to have DD2's school stuff paid for by the 19th May so she can collect it at the induction day as she is going up to high school, if she doesn't collect it then she won't have it until the end of September and will get in trouble. Furtunately I already have a few bits for DD1 and DD2 and DS2 doesn't grow much so he only needs trousers lol Tiddles and DD4 can just move up a size so they are ok.. but I need stuff for DD3 and everyone needs new polo shirts.. they are fit only for the bin again this year! I resorted to buying bottle green polo shirts for them this year as the white and yellow ones get really stained and manky looking!

A party at my house sounds good.. shall I get the bouncy castle out for you??? lol That'll sort that baby out!

Off into the next half hour.. just popped in to see what was left! lol

HHC 11-11:30???? Anyone in???

Thanks - thinking of joining this month - quick question though - I went shopping yesterday & bought food for the week so does this count for May? I'm assuming you'll say yes, just wishful thinking that it won't and I'll be ahead!

Not even started and you're cheating already:rotfl: Yes i would include it otherwise things start getting complicated. Plus as its your first month you really do need an accurate total to work down from.

hiya
minimal flying again. thumb totally numb which is worrying. mind you, what i'm not doing flying wise i'm making up for in kicking a.ss at the school. the head has phoned me and wants a meeting with me and all the ks2 teachers tomorrow after school. if he thinks i'll be intimidated he needs to think again. i've also had a teaching assistant phone up giving me her support and saying it's about time someone took a stand. i've been told the whole behavioural policy is going to change. we'll see. very easy to promice the world but i want to see what's delivered. pigpen, can i have some of your attitude for tomorrow please:rotfl:

hugs to all xx

woot-woot! I bet DS2 at Dead or Alive for the xbox!

I did have an advantage given that he is 3 and can't use his right hand.... :rolleyes:

Controllers work...

Found more stuff to get turbo listed, the rest is clothes that need ironing and sorting and photing.... booo....

Early lunch break for me - I'm starving :eek: One good thing about all this ebay listing though is that I haven't snacked on anything other than 2 biscuits at my coffee break :j I got weighed this morning and I'm 14.1 so I'm just 1lb of my first target of 10% :D:D:D:D That will be 1 1/2 stone since my birthday :D I'm determind to loose this 1lb this coming week if not more

1 box of sega stuff, playstation games and a bundle which I can just relist done:D Another 2 boxes to go, but I can copy and paste the description from when I tried listing the majority of these two boxes as 1 large lot I'll just take some new pics as I've bundled them up differently now and added more to them!

As for the Buffy vids :rotfl: I need season 4, 5, 7 and part 2 of season 6. There's loads on ebay ATM at bargain prices. I would just go and buy them all but I need to make the money back that I've already spent first! :o They're about £5 in our local charity shops as well but trying to get the ones I haven't already gotten is proving difficult :rolleyes: Right, off to put some washing out, advise a friend again for a bit then on with more ebay listings.

DD's asked for sausage chips & beans for tea, so reasonably easy and I'll put it on about 4pm and we'll have some pudding as well. Which reminds me, I'm off to dig out a bag of frozen fruit from the freezer :wave:

luby lou, you said you're going to make a jaffa cake thing for pudding, sounds great can you share the recipe please?
