Stepping and chatting, stepping and chatting!

[CamperWidow]

Thought I'd Shiny a new chat thread for us!

There's and , help yourselves!

bessie thats firmly saying there is to be no hanging onto something thats not being loved/used!

Bless some-one with it Carrots, even more so cus you made it! Any ladies birthdays soon?

It would be too big for dd and her friends and I am not sure my friends would wear it either. Maybe they would though, I have no idea. I might take it to book group and see if anyone wants it, although I might see if my dmum wants it first. I don't want to put people in an awkward situation of not wanting but not wanting to offend iykwim.

I wonder if these things sell on ebay?

bessie I am firmly in your camp - if I don't love it, want it, need it etc then out it has to go. It's brutal but it does make me happier.

I think we have had this debate before but how many sets of sheets do I keep now I have decluttered the airing cupboard?

And how many old towels do I need? (bearing in mind 2 dogs)?

I put it to the jury!

I'm so tired. I need a nap. Honestly I do. Give me strength to deal with a very toddlerly toddler.

Will be back to say hello properly but wanted to say hi while I have 43.2 seconds free.

carrots I have 3 sets of bedding for each of the DDs, and two for us.

I have no idea about the towels though, 2 each? (including dogs)

scout why so tired? (is the toddler being VERY toddlerly?) GO TO BED EARLY TONIGHT!

3 sets bedding per child
2sets for mine
4 towels each-
id go 2 bath sheets per dog?

What's this I hear about lightweights? Zoo

I have just joined the "shouty mum's" thread

I have no idea how many sets of bedding I have --probably needs to be sorted-- and I don't know how many towels we have either .

Can you tell I live in organised chaos!!

Yes, I think I'm going to finish this episode of my American program, due to finish around 8:15-ish, and go to bed. MrScout can microwave his dinner.

Are you ok Scout? Can we help? Do you want to offload? ((((hugs))))

Morning all, DD slept all night till 5.00am then had a whinge and then went back to sleep. I slept till 4.00am and got up cause DH was snoring .

Scout hope you are o.k. you seem to have had a lot going on lately. It can be very hard trying to do anything with a toddler especially if you are tired.

Hope everyone who went out in the evening had a nice time.

Morning everyone!

We're going out for the morning (soft play with big friends -- yay!) but will be back around lunchtime if anyone's free for some buddying then?

Have fun Scout. I will be around until about 3 on and off.

I was just about the walk the dogs and the heavens opened. It is not just rain, it is M&S rain... coming down in buckets and it's so dark it is like night time.

I have postponed and made a now I have milk and some breakfast.

Today I have learned it is a bad idea to go to the shop when you haven't had a or any breakfast as you want everything in it and make some poor choices.

Choc digestive anyone?

All by myself... don't want to be... all by myself...

Hello carrots, I'm here for a little while.

We have just done our "big" shop at ALDI and it only cost £22.00
Normally we would spend around £70.00 for a big shop at the supermarket so we are saving bucket loads of money.
There are a few things we can't get at ALDI so will have to get them at another shop.

Carrots What is M&S rain?

M&S rain is the very best, poshest, most indulgent rain. ie really, really heavy rain!

Aldi has saved us a fortune too. Feeding the 9 small furry vegetarian animals we have alone could cost a fortune but Aldi makes a massive difference. Our only problem is that it is a 20 - 25 min drive to our nearest so it is not always sensible.

I tend to go to Aldi, Costco and Tesco when I go and start with Aldi, then get what I couldn't in Costco and what I couldn't get there in Tesco. It takes a bit longer but saves us cash.

I am so glad you have popped back in. I have been lonely

I will be off out again in a mo but will probably return on here around 1.00.

Not sure where everyone is today.

Maybe feeling really woozy and sleepy if they were out last night. Scout is out for the morning. Where is zoo though? I had connection problems yesterday so she may have the same today.

I'm back. We went to soft play with Toddler's big kid friends (school-age friends from the HE group who Toddler just adores and they seem to love him, too).

We got in the house just in time -- I was taking of Toddler's shoes in his room to put him for his rest/nap and he started pointing at the window saying "wet, wet!" and it was bucketing down. It was dry when we came in the house.

Hi Scout! I am glad you had a nice morning out. Some adult company, letting TS run off some steam and a change of scene are all good for the soul. I hope you have a good afternoon.

Dd has the stables this afternoon so I am hoping the rain clears up and stays away for her.

I also think I will have to face the long shopping list I have for her tonight. It scares me when I think how much is on it. I think we will just prioritise it and do a bit of it every month.

I need a boot or pointy stick to make me go and put tonight's meal in the slow cooker. The postie arrived with some of the crafting materials I had ordered and I have been having a go at another bracelet to see if I can do it without a teacher here. I am doing ok with the weaving but the test will be the finishing. Eeek!

I have also just realised I haven't had lunch yet Clearly the beading had me more absorbed than the cleaning does
