    Morning All

    Spending the morning at home doing some jobs and then going to a funday this afternoon if the weather's fit!

    I've won 2 tickets to Alton Towers so I'm going to use some of my Tesco vouchers to buy another 2 tickets so it'll be a free day out for us.

    Hope everyone has a good day - when you all surface!

    Morning all

    Dusty - congrats to DH on the new job
    Lil-me - the carrots look lovely. And you're still doing far too much - when do you have any 'me' time?
    New people - welcome
    SSL - blimey! I thought aunts were supposed to set a good example!

    Spent most of yesterday working on family trees in between feeding the washing machine and the drying line. The weather was unexpectedly fine so I was able to get bedding and things washed and dry. Today's looking quite good so far too.

    Today I think I'm going to have a relatively idle day. I need to do Tesco at some point and ought to put some stuff up on ebay but those are the only things cast in stone.

    Have a good day ladies.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    I've emptied my freezer so that I can see what's in it and what needs using up. The kids are currently putting the stuff into piles - like with like - then I'm going to do a mealplan for the week.

    I've got 2 extra kids for 3 days of the week - I'm wondering whether it will be easier just to give them burgers or something rather than doing sandwiches - what do you think?

    There's enough in the freezer that I shouldn't have to buy anything apart from fresh stuff and some bits for the fridge. I will need to get more sandwich meat though if I'm feeding the kids sandwiches.

    Right, I'll go and see what we've got!

    Morning ladies

    It seems so quiet here.

    I've done the DW, just going to put the washing on the line, it is lovely and sunny here so going to put another wash in the machine.

    Going to find my pilates video and do 20 minutes then have a quiet bath followed by soring out all the gardening books etc that I didn't get to yesterday.

    Put the washing on the line as the sun was out but now it's gone really dark so looks like I'll be bringing it back in again.:mad:

    Morning all, thanks everyone for the messages of welcome. :D
    Kazmeister - Be assured I have many floordrobes too!
    Nicki - Many thanks for the tasty Sailors;)
    Skintscotslass - You're family sound like mine, constantly shaming and embarrassing me, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before my mum starts watering people's cars too! Can't you blame the sick and wee on dog too? Say you took it for a drive and it didn't like it?
    Pigpen - What's wrong with the feet in your household, should be looking after them! Hope you both stop limping soon!

    Hello to everyone hope you all have a good Sunday.

    My tasks for the day (some are weather dependant)

    - Get frame tent out of Garage and spread out to dry (everything in my garage gets wet when it rains) also dry car seats.
    - Somehow persuade OH to take his 4 months worth of empty cider bottles to the recycling. Hmm, how to bribe a man?
    - As it's sunny, do as much washing as possible.
    - Dreaded task of putting away washing (for some reason my most hated task, I would honestly rather clean the loo).
    - Weeding my bed, OH is a gardener and very critical but one day I will get it nice.
    - Bit of food shopping, meal plan, cook kids food.

    AAAAH - just looked round and little-uns have got all the toys out everywhere so
    - throw out lots of toys (many are broken and it's birthday season)
    Better go do that now or I'm at risk of spending more time typing than flying!

    Sun's out again now but there's no way I'm running in and out all day so the washing can stay in now. It's only showers but they're really heavy so it's not worth me leaving it out in them!

    I now need to finish my DD's bedroom which you may remember I started last Sunday but didn't have time to finish and I haven't got round to doing it since!
