Evening ladies.

Glad to hear the weekend on the whole has gone well for you. polka i wish you lived closer - i would definitely get you to do a cake for me;) that was fab.

I did some of my list - i didn't manage to get DS1 into his new bedroom because i couldn't get everything ironed - the power cut threw me, then DS2 needed feeding the next time i tried. But, we had a lovely roast, i made parsnip puree for DS2, we visited my family for a couple of hours, and i made the train cake for DS1's birthday, and it turned out really well so i am excited.

I am hoping this will be a good week. It has started well. All of my ebay stuff sold - only for £16, but hopefully i will make a little more than that with postage costs. And better than the £8 if i had got listing price, or £0 if i hadn't bothered. DH is happy as he is taking some of the train carriages to work to share with his workmates. I also get paid tomorrow, and it is £128 :T more than i was expecting. Plus, we are away from Friday morning so only 4 days alone, and then hopefully lots of help from ILs weekend. :A

Oh must share this one, DS1s corker, he was in a flap as he had a spider on him, DS2 said 'Not be scared' DS1 said 'Not scared bloody petrified' :rotfl:

:rotfl: Thats brilliant from a little on and I hope you didnt laugh poor lad

Nice to see you back

Well I'm a bit ahead already for the week with some lunch preps dona nd now I've ironed all my work clothes for the week and DD's uniform for all week as well. Not only time saving but money saving as well as iron only on once rather than 5 times.

Right I am off to bed once I put the iron away.

Hope everyone has a good week whatever challenges they face.

See you 2moro for Kaz's krew challenge

If the drain man doesn't turn up tomorrow can I come shower at your Mum's? I really, really, really want to soak in the bath right now...

toottifrootti

well it wasnt me that actually posted it soappie I just quoted it so pleeeeeeease dont have me banned!!!!!! I wont mention it again for at least A week - I cant think further than that at the moment!

sexymouse what have you done!!!!! there are thousands - I dont have time!!!!! did find one that i liked in the few mins i was there - my favourite animal

must try not to spend too much time lurking over there - how do you find the time??!!

well done michelle with your ebay sales - mine were disappointing £ 18 so far with some to finish - must have had a brain storm last week to put them on so late!!!! but like you said I wouldnt have had it if I hadnt put them on and at least this weeks are all easy to post - envelope things!!!

have managed to put on 9 for today - very poor by usual standards!! - but I am aiming to do little and often rather than huge batches!!

ok time for bed

night all - sleep well

DH has been asking me what I want for my birthday (few months off and i'll be 40 years young). I really can't think of anything. Anyway, he know's i've always loved dalmations but I would never pay £500+ for a puppy. Tonight he asked if i'd ever considered adopting a deaf dalmation puppy. He's looked into and apparenty because I work from home, have had a 'problem' dog, have children who've been bought up with animals etc am suitable to adopt one. Even if it doesn't happen i'm so impressed he's thought about it. I promise I won't call him names for at least 24 hours. Gosh, that will be hard!!!

Mudders - that's a really, really hard proposition in my book. However, I wonder if he's doing the research because that's what HE wants? But then he knows you'll be around to do the majority of the work? (Note to self: take that hat with suspicion written on it off!)

I think it was greenbee who asked about my window cleaning smiley. I have another site that I found the other day:

http://smileys.on-my-web.com/categorie-Laughing.html

Can you just copy and paste these as before ?

And I'm definitely gone this time

Night night

Thanks for the new smileys SM.

Toots won't get anything done now!

Just had a long soak in the bath and am now going to potter around for a bit before going to bed.
