Hi All

Been busy busy busy here. Getting there slowly all washing and ironing is up to date so DH now has enough shirts for the first couple of weeks. I h.ave also stocked the freezer up with some HM goodies. Will cook a chicken off for him in the morning for his tea.

Suitcases just need last minute things going in them. Few jobs to do in the morning before the taxi is due at 12.50. Hoping the girls get a good night sleep.

So I am signing off for a few weeks but will be back 19th August.

Hope you all keep well whilst I am gone

Expulsion from flying?????????? Can this happen and if so why are we not the biggest brats in the class

Dunno, but the class swots are putting me to shame!!

Suppose better go clean kitchen now OH has finished cooking, JPots with 2 day old chili con carne. Was too hot for me to eat the other day (very MSing, making food I can't eat, did mean T's hobnobs binge tho) so smothered in soured cream and was edible. Not as good as mine though, whatever he says. It's MY kitchen and no one could possibly cook anything in it better than I can!;)

Shell - Look after yourself and those littlies whilst you're away. Is it spain you're going? Hugs to you all xx

Mudbath

Oooh michelle - where are you going to? Is everyone deserting us or have you all been expelled too? xx

cha97michelle

Shell take care my love on your trip. I am sure you will enjoy the time with your mum.

mudbath. we are going fri-sun to the norfolk broads to celebrate DH's auntie and uncle's 40th wedding anniversary. Not a long break but with the two boys and DH working long hours it is requiring the planning of a military op. Then we are having a week in Devon from the 8th of August. So not completely abandoning just yet.

Right, best fold my undies and put away, then hang up the washing, then get my !!! in bed i think. I am so shattered and DHs idea of letting me lie in this morning was letting me deal with DS2 by feeding him in bed between 5:30 and 8 - i saw him sit up a bit and look at the clock and then lie down again. Once he was ready to get up he took him, although our arrangement made earlier this week was he would get up with him and then give him a bottle and let me sleep. He couldn't understand why i had face on this morning. :mad:

But anyway, i digress, and i survived.

Mudbath

Have a lovely time michelle. I remember when our two were really little...we needed 15 cars to take all the stuff you need for babies etc. Worth it to get away though xx

Dustykitten

Evening flyladies.

Normal chaos has returned to the Dusty household.

Shell I hope you have a decent journey. Hugs for you and your Mum.

Mudbath? You know the wooden foot file things for removing dead skin - can you buy replacement strips of the sandpaper like stuff. The wooden files are fine so I'd rather replace just that if possible.

This week I intend to keep on top of the Dalies and do a different bedroom every day with just a quick hoover round downstairs. I'll try to fit the kitchen in one day too.

DS3 still has 3 days of school.

Going to put the WM on and head up to bed smug that all my ironing is done.

Michelle & Shell Happy Holidays xx

You would need a masters degree to keep up with those chicks - amazing stuff (if only I understood half of it)
