Hello peeps :wave:
i`ve read the thread but am sooo tired that i can only remember bits and bobstoday has been so busy.
I dropped DH off at w*rk this morning and then went to the shops. I bought lots of things for the garden and i am really pleased as all the shrubs were low priced.
When i got back i set to work in the garden and now i am paying the price, my back is really stiff and sore and i`m only just starting to feel warm again.
It took me over three hours digging to dig up a shrub and i broke the spade too :mad: after a hot shower i set to work in the kitchen and made a huge lasagne which we had with carrots broccolli & potatoes and i`ve just loaded the wm, washed the big pots and loaded the dw ready for morning as i`m on early shift tomorrow.
I`m ready for a good sleep!
Taplady - Sorry to hear about your mums friend, what an awful thing to happen.
Diva - Thanks
Rachbc - Welcome to the friendliest thread around!
((hugs)) to anyone that i`ve missed, sorry but i`m shattered
I`m almost falling asleep as i type so i shall say goodnight to you all. Have a good evening peeps.x

Hugs to Hester, Katholicos, sunflower, taplady and all the others having a bad time.
I managed another trip to Mr T's to see what they had in the reduced line, not as good bargains as yesterday but I did get a half shoulder of lamb and 6 2 pinters of organic milk all reduced.
I also had to go to Matalans as the cat decided to have a serious accident on my duvet and it's a king size so doesn't fit in my washing machine. I decided to buy another one and take the other down the launderette when I have the time and keep it for spare. Ended up also getting two beautiful cardigans for DD (finding those was a miracle0 at £5 each, and a gorgeous fleece blanket so I can turn the heating down when the kids have gone to bed and snuggle under my 'blankie' in the evenings.
Had a lovely evening with the kids, we made popcorn and all sat and watched Wall-E which DD got for christmas, DS (15) even played singstar on the PS2 with his 7 year old sister. DS's friend is also staying the night, he calls me mum without even thinking about itthey've all had me laughing so much, very low cost Oldstyle evening that I've enjoyed so much

Just popping back in to say goodnight to (((((((((((((((((((All))))))))))))))))))))))
Hope sleep comes easily and deeply for you tonight and that you awaken feeling refreshed and good.
Been a nice day here. DH off tomorrow so I imagine we'll find something to get into.
Lots of hugs,
Peyton xxTake the first step.

Katholicos - I'm so glad you got such a good result with the school, eventually, but really sorry for your poor DS. How miserable for him to have that condition, but great to know he has a Mum who will stand up for him. (((Hugs))) to you both.
