Here you go life

NSD.

camden if you have amazon prime you can usually get them for a ridiculous price. I think I paid £115 for mine. Still a lot but they were on deal and then the prime-y magic discount. So maybe worth a look.

Thanks all for the congrats. I am super pleased with the result. It was a tax question so I really challenged myself by choosing it. Work are chuffed too. Yay.

Spends yesterday (whilst on lunch break):

£97 amazon on duplo for the dc for Christmas
£42 Feelunique.com - shampoo conditioner mascara and anti frizz stuff for me
£24 Lakeland - Christmas cutters gingerbread man cake tin snd a Christmas plate for Dm

Unescorted get the doggo. And yy to what wolf said. I'm not that long a drive away to you two.
We decided against the puppy right now.

Shake out every thing Camden might be wedged somewhere. See if apple have a parts service to buy 1?
Yeah, well done em
Sorry to hear about cousins passing and poorly auntie
Gorgeous wreath

£30 pumpkin event. Mud glorious mud, fun though to do. Now just washing smokey muddy clothes

Morning everyone 🤗
Thank you all so much for your kindness 🤗❤️
A day off from MumBobs today so l am going to crack on with Christmas presents 🤗
I hope everyone is doing well and not feeling too down. We will get there 😊🤞👍💓☀️

Em congratulations, we know how much work you put into it

Mrs so sorry to hear about your cousin that must have been an awful shock

I'm getting nowhere in the dog adoption stakes. It'll be a puppy after Xmas at this rate

Born I hope you feel better soon. That's a very difficult decision for your aunt and a horrid situation for your family

Tayto I love the wreath

tayto wreath looks fab, well done to you both. Check your emails to see if you ordered two.

Sympathy and empathy to those needing it at the moment.

Yesterdays spends
€14 Mcdonalds Happy Meals & mini mcflurry each for dc (ds threw up twice at childminders today, third time he's been sick day after mcdonalds so I think he'll have to forgo it in future, there's burger king drive through in same town so he might be getting that instead)
€13.90 on Chinese for me, conscious that it cost twice what their food did, I halved it and am having second half for lunch today.

€8.13 Centra on eggs, milk, half a sliced pan, pack of their own brand club milks and some drinks for dc

Today
€15.50 on a funshine box for dd, 20 positive cards, 10% goes to ISPCC

Still no answer from her father on braces, appointment booked to start them on Friday. I've messaged him again. He has seen it, no reply.

Divorce papers ready to go to Court Registrar on Thurs/Fri when I go to town

Well done em

I'll know about my mortgage extension approval in a few days.

Mrs I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin, such sad news for you and your family.

Thanks everyone for the advice re the AirPods, I can't locate the missing one using find my iPhone but it just tracks the case and one I do have which is annoying! I work about two minutes from an Apple store so I'm going to pop in after work on Thursday , the queues for it are so long that I won't have time during lunch. Actually I think you might have to make an appointment so I'll see if I can do that.

Spent £11 on treats in Tesco this morning, not at work today but completely unmotivated to do anything in the house. I'm dropping both DD's off at an outdoor activity place soon so hopefully I'll have found my mojo by the time I get back and can get some housework done!

Hope everyone's having a much more productive day than I am

Camden thank you that is so kind of you. Hope you have a success in the Apple store with the Air pods
Wolf thank you that is so sweet of you That is a shame about you having a puppy , you will all love him or her to bits & have such fun when they do come
Happier thank you so much . l hope you get an answer from your ex and the divorce is done & dusted very soon, fingers crossed for the mortgage extention too & that Ds is ok after being unwell bless him

Afternoon all! DD’s still poorly so another movie day here. I’ve got Disney+, my dads got it so let me use his account so I’m saving money!. But they have lots of great films and Disney shows for the kids to watch. It’s drizzly and grey here but still quite cosy. DD was up very early feeling poorly (pic attached, I usually don’t like showing their faces but I feel like I know you all quite well now and can’t wanted to share how adorable she is! Look at those cheeks. I’m also not an awful mom taking pics of her when she’s very ill, she wanted to send a picture to my DM to show her that she was poorly😂). We’ve just had a snack of toast, apples and grapes and she’s feeling much better. DS has joined us on the sofa for cuddles and that’s how we’re going to spend the rest of our day!

No worries mrs, it must be so difficult not having her around if she’s been there your whole life. I hope you enjoy your day with the Christmas presents!

I’m really sorry to hear about your aunt born, that’s an awful situation to be in. My aunt is having chemo for her cancer and she’s having to isolate when she has it. I hope you feel better soon and the bug clears off.

happier sorry about your DD’s dad, what a knob!. I hope your DS feels better soon!

I hope you can get an appointment and sort out your AirPod camden!

pumpkin they are just gorgeous, the poor pet looks so miserable in the 'sick' photo.

The only thing I'd say about photos here is that there are lurkers too, but I'm very cautious about my dc's pics being anywhere online, just my two cents worth.

Dc wondering if the offer will still be on disney + when we get our new house, poor things have been very patient with having no modern conveniences in our rented home

Thanks happier, she does love to feel a bit sorry for herself bless her!. I’m quite happy with sharing the odd photo but won’t be sharing loads of them, I’m quite cautious too. I hope Disney + is still on offer for you!

pumpkin if it's not I'll probably subscribe for a few months anyhow to be fair to them.

I'm going to ask him about it to his face this evening. I'll need to defer appointment if it's not going ahead on Friday

£113 boots. Mostly Christmas gifts:

Touché eclat plus a freebee for dsis
Perfume for dsis
YSL mascara and eyeliner for Dm
Ponds cream for Dm
Soap and glory shower stuff for dsis

Double points voucher plus points voucher for spending over £50. Plus a threefa at ysl.

Christmas is coming.....

& the goose is getting FAT! EM
I am fancying the blockbuster set from Estee Lader but it is a case of l never wear any make up except mascara, so it's a bit pointless I bought the no7 advent calendar for myself and Dd2 because l will have all the wrinkle creams, she can have the make up and instruments OF torture aka eyeash curlers , l always get my eyelid caught in it OUCH! l do moisturise every day religiously because my skin feels so tight otherwise.

Pumpkin ahhh your poor baby , she looks so sad but she is adorable!
l am sure she will be much better soon though & l think a day on the sofa cwtched up under a blanky with Mumma is the very thing to get better the quickest

Happier your Dc will love you forever f you get them that fingers crossed Disney plus is on offer when you want it

Tbh happier I thought it was a load of rubbish just having a place for Disney but there’s loads on it!. I would say it’s well worth the money if you can afford it.

Ooh great shopping em, there is a bit of Christmas in the air isn’t there!.

mrs I can’t stand eyelash curlers! I have to use them otherwise my eyelashes fall down but they terrify me😂. Thank you about DD, she’s feeling lots better now. She’s just had a warm bath with DS and we’re now downstairs with the fire on having tea and biscuits. Just what half term is all about!.

I’m feeling quite positive today, I’ve been feeling a bit crap, as you all know. But things are starting to look up a bit, I just wish this COVID would go away for Christmas!.

£50 online shop

@lonelyoversharer I just wanted to shout out in case you're lurking and say we are thinking about you and miss you. I know things were looking somewhat precarious when you were here last, I hope you are managing to keep body and soul together
