I have added a weekend list for those who wish to take part.. there are 15 things on it because the children have all been fabulous helpers this week I'm sure they can handle a bit more!!

I don't think there is anything too strenuous.. well not for me anyway.. I'm taking 7 manic children a husband and my mother to build-a-bear tomorrow!!!!

Good luck with that!...:eek: But I bet you'll have a fab time... are they all getting a bear each or a big one between them or is it for the bubby?

Boddy - glad it's not just me!

Greenbee (are you regretting talking gas and electric to me yet) - upon closer inspection of my online bill there are two prices for my electricity and gas - primary and secondary. Don't have a clue about this??? Any ideas? xx

Not feeling too well today - managed to catch a cold so I've not done the kids rooms. Theres not much point really because they are off school until next Tuesday so I'll do them next week.

I have done a bit of baking, some ironing, washing and tidied a bit of the garden up. I have also washed the hall floor for about the hundreth time this week.

DS turned up at 5o'clock with a friend so I ended up feeding him as well. I'm not sure why I bothered because he didn't eat anything. I do wonder what some parents feed their kids. This one doesn't like chicken, beef, lamb, pork, or vegetables. Can only assume he gets fed fish fingers and chips for every meal. Never mind his loss because it was yummy - chicken in white sauce topped with mashed potato and celeriac with broccoli and carrots and blackberry and apple pie and custard for pudding.

Hugs to everyone. TTFN

evening :hello:

i didn't have my bath - BUT we did sign up with that local estate agent; he took lots of pictures (just good that the house looks nice enough ) and he's confident that he can sell it for us for a good enough price soonish!! - sorry to bore you all with this but it's a big thing to us; we just want to move on
then to make up to the kids we took them to the park and played football with them and let them run around in the playground - oh and i discussed how to take things from here and made a plan (which involves lots of work from my side - but he'll have to do the hard bit in the end and find a new job and earn lots of money )

AND i've got the sign right with dd and made her sit on the potty (she had been in bed already but i made her get up for that) - read another story and encouraged her to do a nr.2 - and :T :T :T success!!!!!


so all in all a good day :j


kitchen is nice and clean, wm/td are running, playroom is tidy, and the rest we didn't use anyways
