not sure what is in Basingstoke but I am hoping whilst he has his interview I can steal the car and go noseying about without getting too lost :rotfl:

Not sure whats round Basingstoke or where abouts your going but your not too far from Reading town centre, you could have a walk round there (I know there is a Poundland...LOL, found that 4 years ago when we stayed, and it was still there last year) Lovely walk along the River (Sure its part of the Thames...Sorry I'm not very good at geography) with lots of Ducks and Enourmous Swans to feed just outside of reading if you have a Sat Nav head for the Holiday inn just outside of reading town centre and its lovely.....(Well it was 4 years ago LOL)

Sure there will be more exciting things to do though, but thought I'd let you know so you have a plan B LOL

Sarah I didn't mean to make you guilty about the coke haha


If you can come to the NEC that would be so awesome as I would LOVE to meet you my lovely coffee addicted friend.. buy a flask

I have several flasks PLM..... I just look a bit silly carrying them all around, OH goes mad, says it costs him more to by me a COFFEE than it does to get Me Drunk LOL :rotfl: especially with some pubs charging 99p a pint;)

mhagster

plm : Thank you for pizza hut link will keep it for next visit. It was sooo busy as it is half term , so there was no pizza at buffet, then it would go out then everyone would dash up to the buffet bar, so there was no pizza left! Mad!

Being a moneysaving mhagster we walked over to Aldi and ought cornetto type ice creams for pud!

mhagster

we are nearly at post 200 in 3 days!!

So it is actually called Tooty Fruitys now

I used to love them when I was a kid.. especially the purple ones.

My fav flavour too - can you still get them? - must look in Sainsbugs later.

WOW Rainmac they are FANTASTIC !!
I love them... yellow and more white flannels onto my lists of must buys.. I still have 10 dark brown ( rudolph ) flannels here ready for next year.

You could make brown bunnies instead of white ones. I've got 2 Xmas leftover brown flannels and am going to try a brown one

Morning ladies, hope you are all well? *hugs* to those who are in need of them

Sylphraven that sounds like a fab idea, I will have to try and arrange a visit down to see my mum soon, although will only be for a couple of days I shall sort out dates etc

Orchid - I didn't reply to your post yesterday as you sound so like me .... Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by the amount of chasing/tidying/caring and just general thinking about everyone else, however I don't have twins! .... how old are your twins? I have a big one at 6 and a little one at 20 months (eek where did the last almost 2 years go!) Our house at the minute looks like a bomb has gone off ... It bugs and annoys me but as soon as I tidy it up it lasts 5 minutes! then there is stuff everywhere ... I think what PLM says is the best way to think .... enjoy them whilst they are young as once it has gone it has gone and you can never get them back!

Oh and my donuts were yummy

Jamtart, Wolverhampton is in the midlands ... not too far from birmingham ... where do you live? Oooh you have a webpage??

Furrypig sounds like you are having fun! ... when do you come home?

Sarah ... did you say you were making coffee? mine is 1 sugar and milk please

Scattymam - I bet it will be lovely spending some time with your dad, we are the same as you with the meals ... I did a major meal plan which will last almost a month ... although when the meal plan ends the food is gone ... I guess it will then be chicken nuggets for tea :rotfl: as I think that is all that will be left ...
instead of a full scrapbook you could just do the odd page and then frame them or something?

Rainmac ... when you have tackled your massive pile of ironing I think you should come and tackle my massive pile .... there is chocky in it for you
Awww your rabbits look beautiful ... the chicks look evil but I think that is just me.... there is someone selling them chicks at the craft stall in grainger market newcastle, she is charging £2.50 each!!! ... I saw them on sat when we were up there ... robbing madam! ... specially as I knew the flannels were wilkos ones! (is it sad that I know where certain flannels come from dependant on the pattern on them?)

Mhagster - Do you have a home bargains near you? the cans in there are sometimes cheaper? Also if you look in asda at the minute they are doing 8 packs of cans for £2.99 however they are on offer 2 for £3 so a saving of £2.98 and work out at 18.75p a can?

BunBun we're the same with storage, however I can't do anything til I can find a proper bootsale place to do a bootsale!! ... I looked at the NCT site and nearest sale is Hexham and first one is march so I might just wander up for a look to start with then enquire, although if I get too annoyed with it then I will probably list it all and get pennies for it!

Right after that mammoth post I should add my bits ....

Countdown is 2 hour and 25 minutes til my little man arrives at the train station and I can't wait to have him back ... although not looking forward to the bad behaviour which normally follows for a full week exactly after visiting ...
OH has a job interview on monday so we are travelling down to Basingstoke on sunday morning and going to see some of his friends (eek scary cause I have never met them and they only just found out that my OH has a mrs (me) and a baby of his own as well as a ready made one!! (this could be fun!!!))
not sure what is in Basingstoke but I am hoping whilst he has his interview I can steal the car and go noseying about without getting too lost :rotfl:
My daughter has the devil in her this morning ... anything she knows she shouldn't be doing she is doing ..... she looks like heidihi with her plaits in her hair however she keeps pulling chunks out just to bug me as she knows I wont be bothered to sit and plait it again ..... I am about to find the cat flap blocker cause the cats are being pains and getting under my feet! .... flaming animals! I am tired and ratty, OH decided to keep me up til almost 4am .... he is still in bed as I type! lazy mr ....however he will have a shock soon when I let our girly walk all over him to wake him up :rotfl:

My aims for today
Clear bottom of the stairs and vac through inc stairs
clear dining room side of living room and vac
sort out clean clothes into piles
go and pick up son :j
Clear kitchen worktops
post parcel to my aunt
sort out other bits for selling on ebay and list


So far I have done none of it :rotfl: I am terrible

Errrrrrrr, would really love to help with your ironing but not started my ironing yet :rolleyes: I would rather clean 5 more bathrooms than have to do the ironing, it is the household job I hate the most :mad:. Maybe do it tomorrow now, got the bathrooms and hoovering done so think that's enough for today... :rotfl:

So pleased young Master Rusty will be home today, make sure you don't hug him too tight that he struggles for breath

What's the deal with Mr Rusty, he keeps you awake till 4am but then you let him sleep in all day Hope he's making tea and washing up tonight
