  • Morning Everyone

    Sorry I've been away for a few days, hope everyone is well. Been really busy here, spent all day saturday cleaning and sorting out JUNK:o :o

    Sunday we took the kids to the Royal Armories(SP?) in Leeds, really good day, the boys loved it. DS1 was walking round with his new video camera (that he bought) videoing and DS2 was walking round taking pic's of all the guns and knives:rolleyes: (BOYS .... )

    Yesterday was shopping, more cleaning, keeping the kids occupied on their last day off, Thank Goodness they are back in school today, I love them to bits but they drove me mad yesterday :rotfl:

    Well I'm off shopping this morning then I'm gonna catch up with all my computer stuff.

    Morning.......happy pancake day to one & all!

    Last night i had a meeting at older 2's school. Only 1 other person turned up! Ended up we went to this really old fashioned hotel for a drink........it was dire. Stank of chips and hadn't been decorated since early 70's.........we got the giggles going in, I was doubled over trying not to laugh out loud! we had a catch up for half an hour and then had to leave to pick up kids. we stood outside in wind in case we stank of chips too!!

    Tonight I have another meeting at same school.......hopefully more people there....I am so not going back to that hotel ever,ever,ever.

    Enjoy your day Mx

    Morning everyone :D ... Happy Pancake to you all :)

    Sarah, we think OH's interview went well, he was in there over 2 hours which is a good sign ;) but obviously he still needs to work out wether we can afford for him to actually travel that far etc .... just have to stay positive though :)

    I have just dropped my biggest one to school for Yoga ... yes yoga! 8-8:50am on a tuesday morning and he loves it bless him :)

    Little one is just waking up now as is OH, OH is off to work today with his mate to earn some pennies (yay gets him out from under my feet) I hope to tackle some ironing, do some washing, and tidy up a bit ... then I shall spend the rest of the day playing with my little monkey.

    Hope everyone is well and ok ... sending hugs for those who need them :)

    have a good day :) xx

    so dd has woke with a temperature and a friend said chicken pox is going around - brilliant!
    To add to it I have a potential viewing on the house today - so following her round with a sick bucket:eek: - can't afford to have any nasty niffs.
    Thanks goodness the house is quite tidy and clean bar the spare room which I am about to start - it's just a mess. Here's a picture, I should be ashamed:o - there are papers strewn about and corners are getting bent, etc; Thought if I did a before and after photo it might motivate me to get going...

    This where I'm supposed to organise it in - but the drawers fall out cos I over fill them!!

  • Scattymam Good luck with the viewing later (and the tidying) looks like you have loads of lovely crafty stuff to play with there :D

    Rusty - Hope oh gets the job (if you can manage the travelling etc.) fingers crossed...

    mum2one (Hi to another Cheryl!!)...Thanks for the good wishes on the mot, I couldn't really afford for any major repairs :eek: however it has only failed on the windscreen washer thingy, but needs a specialist to sort it out today, am hoping that doesn't mean too much expense......it does mean though that I have no car, so walked ds to school and am at home with the girls when they would normally be at Nursery as it is too far to walk :mad: they are already driving me mad!!

    Choccy orange, it was me that wanted to know where I can get the 30% off, so thanks for that hun x

    Hi Hayley11 nice to meet you :D you will love it here, it is really friendly and welcoming...

    gotta go the girls have gone far too quiet for my liking!!!

    hope all the poorly people are ok today x
