    Morning all

    Sarahsh - that's the sort of stuff I have - only yesterday I thought about someone I hadn't thought about for a while and about 2 minutes later up pops an email from them! Often happens with the phone as well. I used to have dreams that came true when I was younger but I've blocked them out now - they were too scarey!
    I had a 'flash of inspiration' once regarding a friend - dunno where it came from but she and her then partner got a four figure tax refund when I asked her if they had ever told the taxman they had a child - it was when married men's tax allowance was higher and you could get it if you had a child and were unmarried...thay claimed back over a few years. Why I even thought to ask her I will never know...

    Morning everyone, plan today is plenty of flying and take the kids to the park for awhile. It's my B'day today but for some reason i always dread it and have an awful day so best to keep busy.:rotfl:

    Everyone feed so best get the WM on and make a start in the kitchen, sort whats for dinner.
    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.

    Hope you have a lovely day - even if you do dread it. How is bump doing?

    appreciated my LO a lot more than usual as she sat quietly at the table eating her way through her dinner. Was sitting watching them both thinking thank god that one's mine:p

    well done you - and your littley has an excuse to be whiny - it's not THAT hard to teach them how to behave...when my DD was little sweets were so often a no no....

    Happy Birthday Vanilla, hope you enjoy it whatever you do!

    I've had a nice lazy morning, seeing as I finished my list yesterday I thought why not. Roast was a big success though slightly later than planned, champers was lovely, DH wants to buy a whole case- not very Moneysaving!! We're attempting Sbucks for lunch today as just having hm chicken soup tonight. I'd better get dressed as we decided to go at 12 to avoid any rush (hopefully!).

    I do have a few jobs to do today:

    packed lunches for tomorrow
    buy stamps
    fold dry washing
    put dry washing away
    take chicken apart for meals later in week
    make chicken soup
    check route for work tomorrow

    Chicken's in the oven for dinner and I've just sorted my present cupboard out and pulled a couple of things out for Jacob. I've promised the kids we'll make Dalek biscuits so I suppose that ought to be my next job although I won't be able to cook them until later now the chicken's in.

    WM's finished with the bedding in so I'd better go and sort that out!

    Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.

    GnB Bump is great thanks, loads of keeping me awake at night with a game of footie.:rotfl:

    WM on and TD, dishes all done.
