TAG

Morning all (just)

Zero motivation today, very very tired.

DD has just gone off to Nanny's,again, for a few days. So I think I might just enjoy the first bit of 'me time' I've had in over 3 weeks.:D

Might catch up with you all later. Hugs and get well soons to all that need them.

I am pretty carp on horoscopes, but isn't August Leo not Libra??? I only know coz DD is on 5th and DS is 28th (Virgo) - Me & Hubby are both Pisces (9th & 13th) DD is definitely NOT tidy or organised and is a massive horder...

What is it with men & cake? I really DO need to know the answer to this one, as so far I've found that it's the best way to get things done at work :rolleyes:

Oh - one final question - is it too late to plant tulips I just found this morning?

Fine to plant them now... up till the end of November I think (I plant them when I find them, better to plant them than throw them out)

I know October is Libra because DS's birthday is then.

((big hugs)) for michelle, you sound rather stressed out honey, I do hope everything goes well for tomorrow x
Tom thank you for making me laugh with your very cheery message even if half of it's flirting, sheesh!
Yes, I am a Leo (21st)

Well that went a bit better, still barely looks like I have done anything but I know I have done quite a bit, another bag packed aswell which helps (trying to keep to my MACAW of being packed before they finish school) this will be our last week away this year I think, caravan comes off the site on the 1st unless DP gets his wish of going away for Christmas....kids not keen and I don't think I am.

Hello to all

Not been feeling 100% the last few days so just doing dalies and keeping on top of kids stuff really.

From this weeks list:
Kitchen is done (minus the floor) and
Living Room and hall are done
Our bed changed

Spending today doing paperwork stuff as that is what I'm in the mood for.

Also managed to get

New sports bottoms for DS2 (who is tiny for his age)- £4 - and reduced hoody £3
New trainers for DS1's hugely wide feet and a reduced £3 hoody plus a pair of comats he likes and that fit.
New coat for DS3 which does not have cuffs because he does not like cuffs

Might not seem much but all of these things are a nightmare to buy for my kids

Serena I hope you have a week doing just want you want to
Hollyh ? A friend's little girl had a bug which went for 24 hours and then returned (twice I'm afraid)
G&B hope you feel better soon hun
Greenbee my bb is Virgin and I could not get onto the site earlier
Tulips - are one of the latest bulbs you can plant as they like it cold and they come up a bit later - don't plant in areas where it gets very wet - they rot
Vanilla I'm an aquarian too and love a list DS3 aquarian, DS1 piceses (as is sis) very emotional dramatic people, DS2 is an Aries - lovely and DH is a leo

Hehe... d'you know, this thread is probably the only reason my flat is so clean - I can't bring myself to post unless I've acheived something but I'm itching to post because everyone's so entertaining!!!

Greenbee - on cake: It's v simple. Cake tastes good. We're only used to getting it at birthdays and special occasions. Crunchy Nut cornflakes have the same effect on me - I was only allowed them in the first week of the school holidays (less if the box ran out!!)

Some wise individual coined that phrase about the way to a man's heart being through his stomach. (probably Plato's long-suffering wife). The logical chain of thought here would be that all men will do pretty much anything for all food. Just don't tell my boss.

Time to risk self-electrocution now. Those lights aren't going to fit themselves. Beccah - if the lights go out in Newport, send the ambulances down to Cardiff Bay please. Ta.

greenbee, I do that, important calls included, I once got a bath, sink and loo cleaned, even did the floor by the time the call ended

I went to come back and was 5 mins early, I felt ever so guilty so went and did more

My breadbin no longer resembles an untidy filing cabinet and the recycling bins full!

Another HHC 1.15-1.45pm I thinks, on a roll now!
