Would love a cup Michelle.

I think you do really well considering you have two little ones. When my DD was just a baby I don't even think I knew the meaning of Housew*&K.

You won't memories of what housework you have done but you will have some lovely memories of the things that you have done with your children. You should be proud of yourself.

Oh Michelle, I'll have a coffee, I never got around to making one earlier.

So is that the English kids on holiday now too?

My kitchen is now almost sparkly, or as sparkly as I can be bothered making it! Dishes done (one load to be dryed and put away), worktops all wiped down and bleached where needed, hob cleaned, beer moved to the hut (Pigpen, my huts a pub!), splats and splodges wiped where spotted. I did a big clean before we went on holiday so it's not too bad as it's barely been used. We are now skint right enough as the car insurance was renewed last week and paid in full! Back to flying and saving again.

Although I have went and bought some beads to amke pressies for my neices birthday and christmas.... :rolleyes:

Rest of teh day, lots of washing and change the kids beds if there is a change of bedding! So behind on the washing it's scary! Had a nightmare last night that thw WM broke down! :eek:

Good afternoon, its a beautiful day here so I have had lads doing their washing and hanging it out. I have to say it is far too nice for kitchens today so I am having a little time sitting on my patio in the sun.

I will get on with the kitchen tonight when I am making dinner. Looks up menu plan, lasagne salad and wedges.

hugs AnW'smum what a moving letter

Well done Michelle on getting both boys to nap at the same time. Now you have some ME time.

Jojo I would look at Mr Ts for school uniforms as they are usually a good deal.
When my first son started school we bought everything from a specialist school outfitters and paid loads thinking his little brothers could then wear better quality things after him. He put his pencils through the front of his jumpers, cut up his shirt cuffs and generally wrecked everything and he was only 4!!

Good to see you back Tia!

I have cleared the worst of the DR now.

Afternoon all.

AnWs mum ((hugs))

I still have loads to do as I decided to take the kids to the BMX park. Turns out though the council thought the summer holidays was a good time to close it for refurbishment .

We went to the farm after that to get some more crickets for the spider (the spider hasn't actually eaten anything since we got it in April :eek: )
I made a bit of a plonker of myself. I went to park in the covered car park as the outside one was full. I forgot the bikes were on the rack until I heard a big clunking noise from behind me. I nearly ripped the max height sign of the car park entrance .

Just made some cheese and potato pasties for lunch so after I have washed up, I am going to tackle the fridge and unpack the veg delivery

AnW's mum - that bought a lump to my throat. Hugs to you xx
Jjef - my list might look impressive but it's only because if I clean, tidy, clean and tidy some more it stops me worrying.

Oh - my 'enter' button just flew across the room - reattached now!

Took dad to see his doctor. He has to go and have more tests on Monday to see how bad the bleed was. Luckily he can now see fully again.

DD has been seen off on the coach now. I told the leader that DS had been sick but i've kept them apart. She said it was fine but she was glad she knew as she tends to use distraction techniques on the coach if they say they feel sick. She's rather know that DD might actually be sick. If worse comes to the worse we'll have to go and get her.

DD wants to learn to play the flute!!! She's been on about it for ages and loves playing the piano so I might look into it.

I've got my Asda shopping coming tomorrow and I had a lovely list all done out and ordered but I finally admitted to myself that it was about £10 more than my budget so I've been through crossing off stuff.

I was looking forward to some of that stuff too! But at least it's now hovering around the right amount...

Isn't sticking to the budget a pain sometimes?

Jeeeeeeez....how sick can a seven year old be! Poor mite! At least he's fine inbetween bouts ... he wants to watch television so i'm going to finish the dining room and move onto the living room. I can't vacuum incase I don't hear him calling.

I've now got stomach pains. Shall we have bets on when I get a call to go and DD from camp! On a positive note....it's better it happens now and not in three weeks when we go away! xx
