    Thanks Dusty, i think hubby's serious about booking it but we'll see what way it goes, it looks great tho. I think the kids would love it.

    Right i'm heading to bed now, nite all.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Well I'm in again. Glad its the LR. Really need to get it up to at least level2 then it will be easier to maintain (as is the BR and K)
    Tuesday have things to do, ring sky, rubbish pick up and go get 1/2 lamb, (am sharing with a friend so will be £22.50, am currently thinking about what to do with it, trying to plan some batch cooking as I need some quick meals in the freezer so that when I have a bad day they can be just done in the microwave;))
    Other things to do, list what's in cupboard/freezer. Batch make potato cakes/scones - kids love these. Make more flapjacks - go through these like nobodies business. DD2 likes them as breakfast bars as well. Probably a little to sweet but have a very slow burn, very filling, and a good source of iron.
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:

    Dusty - well done on your sitting still!

    I've just sat still for an hour.. and creaked and groaned and winced as I got up. I wasn't going to bother with a bath this evening but I think I need to go and soak a little to ease the tired muscles.

    And Piggers I'm throwing a shoe (I don't do mules) in a child like tantrum way in your general direction. You did it on purpose didn't you? Making the living room be tomorrow. My living room is full of bits and pieces from the kitchen. But the kitchen floor's not yet finished - needs another half of it grouting.

    Then I'll probably have to find my Dad's old plane and shave a bit off the kick plates before they'll go back given there's a tile under them. Then I'll have to thoroughly dust and clean before anything else goes back there so the living room can be sorted

    ~Huff~ You can go off some people you know. I'm a professional - how am I supposed to work in these conditions?
