Evening ladies

Apologies for not replying to the posts over the last 2/3 days just never got chance to catch up so a welcome to the new peeps and welldone to those flying.

Valli - You are definitely mad and obviously fit in well here :rotfl:

Rach - what fab news on the cheq

nicki - hope you felling a bit better and managing to get some sleep (my DS has sleep problems and uses night time Kalms)

Pigpen - glad your sisters ok

Mr Shattered - Happy Birthday

RebekahR - love the flylady Olympics - unfortunately I collect undies (well it seems like I do) and have about 50 sets having chucked all the rubbish. But I do have a few granny pants for when Auntie Flo visits

RMC - Happy Wedding Anniversary for tomorrow


Well a no flying day for me. OH was at home (although has gone to work now) so we decided to go out and went over to a massive camping/outdoor centre looking for camping stuff for Bank Holiday week. We did really well as found the tent we wanted but theyd just sold the last of the cheaper 2007 model but had the 2008 for another £100. So we came home and found it online £50 cheaper and have ordered it for delivery Tuesday

Have loads to do as didnt fly Thurs or Fri nights after work so none of the bedrooms got done and rest of the house needs doing again.

So shall I sit and watch a DVD with DD and clean tomorrow as its just me and her tonight or fly tonight and tomorrow. S**t, just remembered I have to do a shift at work tomorrow 5 - 11pm and supposed to go to bosses birthday party at 3 beforehand. Think thats made my decision for me.

Gotta go sounds like tea is done

Ciao for now

LMAO 'Apple Catchers'.

Recently had to stay over with my sister unexpectantly - next morning asked if she had any knickers (as you can only do with your sis). She replied yeah got some new ones that I got when I was pregnant - they should fit you (she is size 8, I am 14!) God you could have fitted 5 of me in them - and they were kidney warmers too - right up to my armpits!

i am sorry i missed your olympics challenge rebekah I would have joined you if I had seen it - there are quite a few beautiful little skimpy things lurking in my drawer - some never worn and have absolutely no chance now!!! I havent had the courage to get rid of them - they remind me of when i was healthier and able to wear such things!!!! I have to say they are very tidy so will have to work up to a clear out.:D

RMC happy first anniversary tomorrow - hope you have a [STRIKE]lovey[/STRIKE] lovely day!!:j

valli - i mealplan but i don't do the grocery challenge. i basically have a standard 4 week mealplan, which i'll put on if people or interested, or pm to you if not...then i write a list of everything we need to make those meals, and cross off what we already have, then do a fortnightly tesco online shop. v easy and i save loads of time and effort, not to mention cash!! sounds much more complicated than it is!

I'm intrigued.

How many meals do you plan? I wouldn't need lunches - and breakfast is easy!
