Shopaholic? Me?

So my son came home from school one day and complained his arm was sore. I asked why and he said he was punched by a girl friend of his. Knowing the girl, I was perplexed so I asked him why? He then explained they were playing toro zero turn. This is played when they see a particular type of something eg a car and like a “bull” they punch the other child. They then say “zero turn” which means you cannot hit back. With his friend being quicker, he received many a punch! It could have been worse as he could have been hitting her! I was not happy so recommended a change in the game and it is now called “mini hug”. When they see a mini, they give a mini hug. They say “zero turn” if they don’t want the hug back. Perfect. I have found there is now another variation on the game – “mini kiss, zero turn!”. You work it out. Do you reckon I am going to

It is so easy to tell that I could do with some calcium supplements. All y ou have to do is look at my short brittle nails. It does not help that I am still breastfeeding twins but I do so miss having nice nails. Perhaps I will treat myself to some gel or acrylic nails for my upcoming birthday. I wonder what the difference is between the two? I know they both look great at the end. The one thing I know is that I still keep them at a realistic length so no one realises they are false. The other trick is to get them infilled regularly. Thinking of regular infills, I just might leave the nails till September when the twins are at nursery.

I wish I could say that I was going to get some don tomas cigars online to celebrate finding a house… but I won’t. We saw house after house after house. Houses in our price range, houses below our price range (is there such a thing?) and houses above our price range… and that is what we got houses! We sadly did not find a home.

There were things we liked in each property, some had a great view, others had all the required rooms, some had fabulous kitchens but none ticked all the boxes.

My problem is that with only a limited area and obviously a limited budget…. it is going to be though going but I might keep you updated (at least if I do find one!).

If you are into the latest style of bracelets like Chamilia or Pandora then you might be interested in this coupon.

The one thing you might want to be aware of is the weight of the bracelet when loaded with lots of charms. But other than that, they are very pretty and make excellent gifts.

Ever since I saw listings of houses in the states and the price of them, I cannot help but think about living there. I asked my hubby to look at some san diego jobs but he wasn’t having any of it! Shame.

Bearing in mind we are looking at houses here, half a million pounds buys nothing much. I never imagined owing half a million let alone owing a bank that much. Yet in America a quarter of a million dollars ( one hundred and fifty thousand pounds) buys a luxury house!

Does anyone realise we are talking MILLIONS!!!

Superstitous anyone?

Generally I always found Friday the 13th particularly lucky. Maybe it is just the way I see things but it is good I guess. The mentality of glass half full or empty.

Examples:-

•  I had a dentist appointment on Friday the 13th as a kid, and my thought was, “It did not hurt so it must be my lucky not unlucky day”.
• I had an exam and thought “that was easy so it must be lucky not unlucky”
• I won on the lottery today (it was 60p more than the cost of the ticket but hey I won).

So… is it lucky or unlucky? Glass half full or empty?

Wholesaleinsurance.net seems to be selling wholesale insurance… not sure I see the point of wholesale insurance except for Landlord insurance…. I mean who needs a dozen life insurance policies? Mind you perhaps their idea is more that they sell many so they can offer wholesale prices… but then don’t other insurances also sell many policies?

Personally I don’t have any life insurance. Is it a good thing… only if nothing happens or solely minor things… but that is what I am counting on!

Getting personal gifts for him (the hubby) is always next to impossible. So when he came up to me and asked for a phone, how could I refuse. Admittedly it cost a small fortune but then I never seem to buy him anthing substantial. It always seems to be chocolates, ties and socks.

This is the phone I am getting him – click here, which apparently is an all singing all dancing phone costing more than my laptop!

Anyway… he ordered it early this morning and later on received an email saying he should buy the phone he just bought as it was the best in the galaxy. This made his day. Made mine too as he now “owes me one”!

I wonder if anyone can confirm my theory…

Black heads are meant to be a result of dirt build up but I find that my skin changes depending on my hormonal changes. And with my hormones all over the place, I cannot give up my blackhead remover. However I to find that no matter how I treat my face / skin, it does not always obey the rules it is meant to! Figure that out!

My kids are very independant. Scarily so. When I got out our adult step stools they climbed on them and helped themselves to the cereal from our top cupboard. On one hand a good thing but on the other…. they are 19 months old…. can you imagine just how easy it is to slip and fall.

I must find a hiding place for our step stool because now they know what to do with it… can you imagine what comes next. Please no suggestions as my imagination is wild enough as it is!!
