Morning its overcast here. What a disappointing August. Nevermind. Woke early ready for work and its a holiday for me - typical. OH been to B and Q to purchase a paint pod at half price - what an exciting life we lead, well I am chuffed. Not doing too much today, did my ironing yesterday and cleaned the fridge polished the day before and other little jobbies such as cleaning the dirty cutlery drawer - how does it get so dirty?. Today just need to clean the bathroom and dust the bedroom. For dinner we have fake mince in yorkshires with other roast veg. Just sandwiches for lunch I think. I wish that I knew whether there was a boot sale in this area today would be nice to have a look round when I do not have much money.
Have a good day all and hope you do not spend too much money lol!!:rotfl:All my views are just that and do not constitute legal advice in any way, shape or form.£2.00 savers club - £20.00 saved and banked (got a £2.00 pig and not counted the rest)Joined Store Cupboard Challenge]0 -

Plumber here so water off for most of the day and gas off for some of it.
Not really sure what's happening today as I've got to work round the plumber and DH is at work.
Hope everyone has a good BHol.

Morning all,
Not posted on here in months. Not had time starting work at 6am and not finishing untill 7pm.
Got a load of washing in the machine and fingers crossed it will go out on the line.
Bread is rising as i type
I also started off sourdough yesturday and it is fizzing away so i need to add the next stage to that.
We are at friends tonight so i am going to make some cupcakes to take.
Other jobs for today are. Clean out the rabbit, potter on the allotment, put washing away and bath my DS :eek:
Hope everyone has a good OS bank holiday

Morning all,
Not long been up, I think its due to being up the night before with dd, she slept all night no problems with her head, will ring the Dr tomorrow though, thanks for the good wishes.
Its a bit dull here, hopefully it will brighten up later, I have a load of washing in the machine and another two to go in. We are off to a local fete and flower show later, it starts at two but we will get there early and take little dog for a run through the woods first. Did anyone see the Martin Clunes programme about the dogs last night ? it was facinating looks like a good series.
We are having what I call cheesy nabs for tea
, which is nice bread, cheese's meats, olives etc, not sure where the name came from, but we all use it, and its even down on my meal plan 
Hugs to all in need, and have a good day xx0 -
Morning All
Another one not posted on this thread for months.
WM now doing a second load, first load on the line. BM on, DW will be on after the children have eaten breakfast, they are "chillin" at the moment. After a very hectic few weeks planning on relaxing a bit now before school reopens. Will probably take a trip to the local garden centre later as I need a few more plants to finish of my gardening project.
Have a lovely day whatever your plans are.MFW 1/5/08 £45,789 Cleared mortgage 1/02/13

Morning, I've been brought a cup of tea in bed by Mr Twit, so that's a good start to the day

He had suggested a trip to Chester, but as I'm coughing, his back is not good and Miss Twit is sulking, somehow I can't see us going and I'm at work 5-7pm.
I'd got all excited as I'd found the Lakeland shop in Chester and was plotting on looking at Remoskas.
