    Hello peeps :wave:

    i`ve read the thread but am sooo tired that i can only remember bits and bobs :o today 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 :D

    Rachbc - Welcome to the friendliest thread around!

    ((hugs)) to anyone that i`ve missed, sorry but i`m shattered :o

    I`m almost falling asleep as i type so i shall say goodnight to you all. Have a good evening peeps.x

    Otherwise, what Peyton said - think she covered it all, lol!
    I've always had a problem with going on and on. I often think after I've hit submit that I'm writing novellas. :rotfl:

  • 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 it :D they'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 xx

    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.
