    Davgirl, Pollybear and Nicki, you're all raving about the heat (I know Davgirl is in NZ but apparently the weather there isn't always great!) but where is everyone else to get heat. It's decidely rubbish here in Devon today


    I'm NE of Bristol, not that far away from you, but I think the poorer weather is coming up from your way so I don't expect it will be hot for long!

    Afternoon everyone.


    not doing too well at the flying for the past couple of days. me and dh have man flu, and the boys are both very snotty. I've spent alot of the time feeding ds2 which i can understand if his throat feels like mine. Also the kettle has been playing up, so all done with no caffeine - no wonder i feel so rough. :rotfl:

    been managing to read but not post.

    I have managed to look after the boys and wash up for the past few days, and then more productively today i have washed 3 loads - including rewashing the one left in the WM on Tuesday (which i never do usually as we are on a water meter :eek: )


    The plan is to survive till tonight, and then have a restful weekend so we can cope with next week and not be ill.

    Baby crying yet again so i best sort him

    Just text ex and asked him to show me how to burn music to CD for my stereo to play it. Having the computer on is too much of a distraction and I can only listen to Robson & Jerome, Shania Twain and 2 housework albums so many times!!!!! Right, hoover and mopping.....
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
