Mooooooorning everyone! :j

I hope no one minds me starting the thread, I can't believe there isn't one already! I guess having a small baby gives you a different view of what 'early' is :rolleyes:

It's a grey day here and I am off for a driving lesson soon, I hope it doesn't rain... fingers crossed.

Then I am going to look at OHs tax return, and work on my SOA - my visa card has crept up to £875 :eek: _pale_ and I am a bit ashamed as I thought it was around the £300 mark _pale_ so something must be done!

Someone tell me you have more exciting plans than me :rotfl:

    Hi. I'm off to Mr Ts later cos thanks to the wonderful peeps on these boards I've got a £5 off voucher if I spend £30. It was in last weeks News of the Screws so will be checking to see if there is another this week.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    Good luck with the driving today DD...

    I'm off today with the kids and have loads of jobs to get done-I have so far put a load of laundry on and got a chicken cassarole on on the slow cooker.
    I'm hoping to meet OH after he's finished work tonight with the kids and go for tea...

    I'm also looking at booking a hols for next week!

    I'm off for 2 whole weeks! WOOHOO! (starting the 9th)

    Does anyone remember who came up with the tip about leaving the loft cover open to cool your house down?
    Who ever it was is a genius:T

    Morning all,

    We were meant to be meeting friends for a picnic by the river but as it keeps raining I've offered to host :eek: so think I'd best get my butt off here & start cleaning & tidying.

    Anyone know how to separate a child from the tv without causing injury ? At this rate will have to hoover round her leaving a DD shaped grotty / crumby patch on the carpet :rolleyes: .

    Have a good day everyone :D
