    Well tescos with 3 kids was interesting. I managed to come out £20 under budget even with the kids asking for everything they saw, they don't even like half the stuff they wanted.
    Its started raining here so the bike ride is out of the window might have to make fairy cakes this afternoon with them instead.

    Hello everyone. Haven't caught up with the thread yet but just needed to post my list to keep my sanity.

    DH is currently lounging in bed with a raging hangover after trying to keep up with my Little Bruv last night. The fact that he has taken 3 days holiday to look after DD whilst I'm at work, finish decorating DD's bedroom AND to do some 'bits' that have needed doing round the house since the day we moved in appears to have slipped his mind. :rolleyes:

    So I am off to pick DD's carpet with DD and Little Bruv (he's 32 by the way) Get an inner tube for DS and whatever else I might think of. See you all later

    Sexymouse - I keep missing your HHCs - I keep coming back to my PC as you've finished one. So if you're up for one 12.15 - 12.45 or anyone else, then I'm in!

    I'm just making more mess!

    I have a slim chest of 5 deep drawers which I am in the process of emptiying all over the LR carpet. The kids have the bottom 2 for colouring books etc which was fast moving onto 3 drawers and I just dump stuff in the other drawers when I can't be bothered to sort it out! So far I have filled and emptied the shredder twice, filled a paper recycling bag and put 2 bags of rubbish out and am currently on my third.

    Okay I'd better carry on.
