    ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sent DH to shops for our top up shop. Didnt want to go to ALDI (SNOB) so he went off to Tescos and strayed mightily from my list. Ended up spending £66.30 :eek: and FORGOT to hand over coupons to the value of £12! :mad:
    I will NEVER EVER send him again, regardless of how bad I feel. Would have been cheaper to do it on the net even with the delivery charge.

    Housework not done, laundry not done, dishes not done, dinner not on, all in all not a very productive day.

    Am going to search the recipie thread now for inspiration, have a pen and paper at the ready.

    Enjoy the rest of your Sunday,
    Al.

    Cheers, greenfingers. Had already tried that, to no avail :( I had to uninstall the connectivity services, which should have sorted it out when it reinstalled them automatically, but in the end, had to un/reinstall the whole bloomin' lot (twice)

    Anyway, not got too much done this afternoon as a friend called round with her DS2 (my DS2's friend) while her DS1 was at a party. So, the living room, which I had just cleaned, is completely covered in toys :( However, my friend did rate the banana abd nut teabread I made in the BM yesterday :)

    I have my placcy kid-proof table cloth soaking in the bath in bio powder (only way to get it really clean) Washer is just about to do another load, as is TD. I have inherited someone else's mountain of ironing again - if I find out which one of you exported it out to me, you're getting it back, along with mine too :D

    Must go and get on - Sunday dinner won't make itself........but then again, may open one of Mr TM's bottles of wine :) (I sent him to Tesco yesterday for 4 cartons of apple juice, came back with them plus booze - £45 last count, although will wait to see CC bill as Mr TM has a habit of, erm, 'forgetting' how much he has spent) That reminds me, must start an online shop, I'm sure there are some vouchers floating around somewhere ......

    Squeaky - if you've gone, can I request a MATH please :D I also like fake Bailey's in my coffee and sherry when making Sunday dinner :rotfl:
  • Hey

    Still feeling lousy....but hey...life goes on :cool:

    Chicken has just come out oven, roastie, parsnips and stuffing in oven and yorkies/veg will be going in/on in about 20 mins. Got OH too get BM out and he's knocked up some pizza bases for the week as he has these for lunches and literally cost pennies-even with ham, pineapple, sweetcorn, cheddar and mozarella :eek: Thought whilst kitchen is busy with roast might as well make it messier...lol.

    Watched Dark water earlier...quite good and have been after watching it for ages. Quite scary tooooo :eek: Think we are going to start watching the 4400 series 1 later as we all like sci fi and dd loves Lost-will see how we get on.

    DD has had a bath and hair washed, her homework is done and an 11+ paper done. Downstairs is pretty tidy and clean. DW emptied but getting filled up quickly with dishes from roast.

    Anyways, see ya all later.

    It's been a ghastly day here (weatherwise). OH went off early to Oxford and will not be back until lateish. I was supposed to have a major clean-up but somehow came on the computer to check my emails early this morning and I've been on here ever since :eek: .
  • Really wish I hadnt read penny pinchers post. I got off to a good start this morning, but Its 4.51 and Ive been sat here all day typing up my ebay stuff. Got a watcher already. :T
    BUT house looks like a tip, beds to change, washing still not in TD, shoes to clean, uniforms to sort, kids to bath, tea to cook. No homework done. :eek: OH reckons he has worked harder than me, (he has cleaned HIS car and taken DD1 to dancing) Rubbish I say. Neighbour has just come round to collect her DD (who didnt want to go home) and her tea is all cooked :( .
    MUST go and do something. I'd better sell all my stuff on ebay now to make all this worthwhile................
  • Sorry Sweatpea ((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))
