    Hello friends,
    Came home from work expecting Dh to have made the tea-wrong. He had cut up the pumpkin for soup...and that was it! So, have now got beef stroganoff in the slowcooker for tomorrow, pumpkin/carrot soup made and aslo made tea for kids-pork chops etc. Just got the kids out of the bath, smelling fresh and with clean hair as DH has been offered another night of OT-which whilst frustrating as Im doing a Virgin party tomorrow night, is good becasue he clears a good £200 for a nights OT....

    My house is trashed-although DH did manage to do the ironing.

    Had a nice surprise at work today-I made a joke to a gentleman about always wanting a Radley bag after he thanked me for doing him a good deal on a kitchen etc and when I got to work today, there was a brand new GORGEOUS Randley bag wating for me! How nice is that?? He even left me the reciept etc in case I didnt like it-it is gorgeous but I think I may exchange it for a black one...

    The day I walk in expecting my tea to be on the table will be a day worth waiting for:rotfl: as for ironing......I am tempted to swear.....

    Daniel Craig was gorgeous and brooding in the film... can't remember what the film was about though:rotfl: had my tea and OH now having a nap!

    discovered that OH only took half of the rubbish to the tip cos he didn't put the seats down in the landrover.....!!!!!!!!!

  • Sammy, Even I can put the seats down in the Landrover...

    I am still super chuffed about my bag-it was such a nice thing to do-mind you, I had saved him a few pennies ;)
