    Have chucked kids out with dog, After yelling at them unfortunately!! DS2 is now full of the wrong sort of energy as he has been ill all day,supposedly!!

    He`s been like that since the moment he was born... Lovely but very hard work, especially if he feels he has to compete with his siblings!!


    Just getting ready to collect DS1 to take him to the doc.
    The Grass may look greener :o but it`s always going to take just as much mowing ;)

    I've been baking - sponge cake, 16 bread rolls, brown loaf, chocolate buns, chocolate brownie, and Simnel Cake :D Anyone want a slice :confused::pPenny. x

    Yes pleeeeaaaase, can I have a choccy bun, choccy brownie, a slice of sponge cake and maybe a eice of Simnel cake!

    My battery scales have gone flat so no baking for me today unfortunately, Decided to replace with some mechanical ones to save on batteris and Argos were out of stock of the one' I wanted.

    Baking at the weekend hopefully, might try some brownies and muffins for a change or the good old twinks hobnobs!

    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • I hate to engage with the truth of this, but I'm 37, so add me in please.
    I feel twice that, but behave like an annoying 17 year old, mostly.
    Babe much better today, thanks Toots for the hugs.

    Where is ZCC72 off to, and I hope it's a holiday, not upset or anything.

    What will we do next weekend?????
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Evening all :wave:

    I've spent the afternoon doing paperwork and household accounts for next month. Time to bash on with the rest of the house I think.

    Valli - You have my sympathy...that is a lot of money to find for a retainer. Did you get a container for DS to keep it in? DD got one for hers. I have to nag her every night to remember to put it in. You'd think the bright pink box by the sink would remind her, eh?

    Right....kitchen

    This is the most up to date version of this, with everyone on it that's posted their age. I noticed in some other posts that not everyone is on, and also that Restaholic has moved up an age group :confused: so copy this one if you want to post your age! ;)

    DH is cooking a lovely lemony chicken dish for our dinner. I haven't done anything since my last post apart from check the dry washing. Have had a nice nap and my shoulder feels better for a rest.
    Is it the weekend now?

    Has anyone seen Casleigh? Haven't noticed her posting for ages now. Hope she's ok.

    On accepting my 5 stars I would just like to thank Pigpen for the lists, Toots for motivation and stars and all the flyladies, Oddjob and Phil for all their help and support. Just a couple of weeks ago I couldn't do what I'm doing now and my house is sparkling clean. On the down side I may well be turning into Anthea Turner:eek: . So I thank you one and all you are the best:T :T :T
