Hi everyone,
just back catching up
Chrisca - this is where we will be off to at the weekend, i`m getting all excited now that it`s a bit closer.
Redruby - yes we will be taking the dogs with us, we take them everywhere.
I can`t wait to see the younger one on the beach, she went last year but we had only had her for 3 weeks before we went away so really didn`t know what to expect. She was as good as gold and absolutely hilarious
The oldie can`t walk too far now so we shall take our time with him, DH jokingly suggested getting him a pram :rolleyes: i had visions of people peering into it and a Monty Python type comment "ooh what a lovely baby" :rotfl:
Charlies mum - can`t wait to see the wedding pics!
Back later
SDPlanning on starting the GC again soon

Morning all, Have the BM on and soup simmering. Had a cuddly day with DH y/day, his face is gradually regaining some muscle control, he has facial exercises to do, we did them together and ended up in stitches. His speach is only slightly slured now.
DD2 and OH flew to Malldives y/day, DH and I had planned to sort out their out building as a supprise, We have booked the plasterer but need to pull the ceiling down as it got wet due to leaking roof. The brick building will be turned into a utility once it's replastered and painted. Slight change of plan as I will not allow DH to do anything, so have a handyman arriving at 9am so he and I will empty it and get it ready for plastering tomorrow.
I can't cancell the project as the plasterer has been booked and materials payed for. So a busy day ahead. DH will relax in DD's so I can keep an eye on him. As it's dry he can potter in the garden or even sit on the patio.
Have haddock, new pots and salad for dinner, fruit for pud.
Will go and catch up on y/days posts.

Hello everyone, another nice day in MK, what is going on! Its surprising what a bit of sun can do to cheer you up. Back to work today boo hoo, everyday I get a little bit more miserable about going into work. Its particularly not good at the moment, got 4 bods leaving within a month, not good for the morale, which is already rock bottom. Anyway just keep focusing on the wage slip each month. Have a good day everyone duddles x0

Morning all,I am feeling rough today.Did'nt seem to sleep a wink all night it was so warm and there seemed to be an awful lot of folk up and about.Add to that a soundly sleeping and loudly snoring OH and you can see why I'm feeling grumpy and I broke a tooth yesterday so not a happy bunny.
Today,I'm going to strip and clean my house from top to bottom and wash anything that I can fit into my washer. A good house clean always makes my frustration disappear.God help my hubby if he comes in tonight saying he's tired.I'll tell him to sleep in the shed.
Have a good day everyone.0 -

Morning all
Well, after a rather long OS holiday IMG]http://booktalks.org/forums/images/smilies/ashamed0005.gif[/IMG I'm starting to get back on track.
I've done this week's meal plans, sorted out the food cupboards yesterday and made a list of what needs using up in the next couple of weeks, to avoid wasting it.
Circumstances meant cooking from scratch had to go on the back burner - which I really missed, so I'm looking forward to spending some time in the kitchen this week
Will look forward to catching up again.

Jannyannie - Happy birthday to your oh, hope he has a lovely day!
Charliesmum - I'm so glad that you had a good day and that the weather was kind for you all xx Just seen your pic, don't you all look lovely and don't you look young! Are you certain that is your ds?! x
MrsTM - hope you get your tooth sorted out, ouch!
Well, good morning to one and all, and the new lady yesterday, sorry can't remember your name at the mo, but it's lovely to meet you!
Fell asleep after lunch yesterday, as did dd3, think we were both pooped! She was fine all day, she just lay on the sofa which is strange for her, but she wasn't icky thank goodness! But then bedtime arrived and off we went again, this time accompanied by dd2! So got two of them home today, dd2 downstairs on sofa at the mo and dd3 still asleep. Spoke to dd3's headteacher and she reckons they'll have no children to teach at this rate, she's been getting calls since 8am to say everyone has it, they only have 73 children at the school to start with!
Did an enormous amount of ironing in the evening whilst watching Max and Paddy's Great British Adventures, it really made me giggle to see all the silly sports the British think up! Then just relaxed in front of Poirot.
Sausage and chips for tea tonight - ds's menu plan! I cooked about 60 sausages yesterday as they'd all been thrown into the freezer together instead of me putting them in bagged portions, doh! Anyway defrosted and cooked and will now refreeze in portions, never let it be said that I don't learn! Will keep a few aside to make a sausage casserole for later in the week, will then freeze it and that's Saturday taken care of!
Need to sort out the bank today and have a tidy around and that'll be it, then got lad next door after school as my neighbour's working late today, then I shall be off to w**k again! Got a meeting about my absence, all because I was sick a couple of week's ago, and I had a couple of days off about 3 months ago when dd3 got concussion! What a complete waste of time, hadn't had a day off for about 3 years prior to that, anyway my old boss has told me to get the meeting postponed and he will come and sit in on it with me - apparently I shouldn't be having the meeting as it's at the discretion of the manager, and with my absence record there shouldn't be an issue! I can't bear our senior manager and think I might do as my old boss said as he is now an area manager and unknown to my boss is about to move to take over our area! Might give our little Hitler something to think about! Definitely karma going on here!
Not seen any more spiders than usual here, must be some cos I have cobwebs that appear! Last night there was a terrible buzzing then an almighty crash - was a huge beetle, euch! Not as big as those that you find in Greece and Turkey, but pretty big all the same.
Hope everyone has a good day xxGC Oct £387.69/£400, GC Nov £312.58/£400, GC Dec £111.87/£4000 -
