:hello:Hi toots! Wrap up warm, if it's anything like here, we had a frost last night, and it's still chilly.
I've been up since 7, but awake for ages before that, didn't sleep well. I emailed the owners of the house we're renting in Marseilles asking for directions, and they very helpfully said put the address in GPS. We're not hiring a car...:rolleyes: So, I looked it up on Google map, and found it isn't actually where it was shown on the holiday website - miles further out, rather than in the centre of the old town. I'm not a very happy bunny. Kept me awake half the night - which is silly, it's a big city, they must have decent public transport! Just off to have a wander around the tourist info to find out about trains, trams, metro and buses!
Today I'm mostly doing shopping, and running children around, as well as cleaning the bathroom. Back later!It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -
JJef sorry to hear about your MIL. xx
Well DD2 just came home, she had stayed at her friends last night (sleepover) anyway she's poorly, been run down all week but came in and burst into tears.
So a cuddle, painkillers and now packed off to bed.She'll be able to keep her elder sister company who is also ill. Same thing I think, so don't think I'll be going to far today.:oDFW Nerd 267. DEBT FREE 11.06.08

JJeff, hugs to you and your OH - even when you know it's still hard and my thoughts are with you all... :A
Soappie - tried with and without s - same result although did get cream pies with?does it have anything to do with the 'pie chart'?
:rotfl: I think I'll step away from the pie conversation now... I'm too delicate (who said yea, right?
)
Flying Fresian - I did that once, very embarrasing as neighbour was out but was lucky enought hubby was in and he came and opened the door- ALWAYS put the door on the catch first now...
(meant to say welcome over from PAD before
, nice to see you here... )
Toots, glad to see you're feeling good today - hope you manage a lie in tomorrow though...
Hope I'm not chatting too much, I've been away so long, it's like coming back home after being away and catching up on all the goss...:DLBM April 2013 - £29,000.00Vanquis CC's PAID - Debenhams SC PAID - A+L OD PAID - Asda CC £783.75Barclaycard CC £1400.78 - BoS CC PAID - Freemans Cat PAIDF/D Loan & CC £1458.96 - Santander Loan PAID - Mum Loan PAIDRBS OD PAID - F/D OD £1026.52Weekly Grocery Challenge - £95.00 budget / spend £-0 -
right cant sit here all day pretending to have one last coffee before i do something, altho i did just make one but i will deffinatley finnish this one and start my jobs.
packing has gone out of the window (sort of) i need to tydy round everywere so ill have a box in toe wile i do it.my list that MUST be completed before i go to look at some car DH has his eye on then go to the racing at 5.
Living room
sort out the toys we accumulated at the fete last night and sneakily (without the kids noticing) pack them.
make up some more floor freshner (if i have enough bicarb left)
use said floor freshner then vacume
dusting (using polish)
sort out computer table, (its so full of junk i rested my coffee cup on a bank statment and the ashtray on my tower)
kitchen
wash the dishes (making sure i dry and put them away
try to get thru the mountain they call a washing pile (find a map to the wardrobe after its done)
go thru the cupbords and check for out of date food (for some reason i keep buying more when there already full)
clean out the fridge
mop the floor as i am going out
hallway
vacume and use the carpet freshner (maybee raiding my work box to get more bicarb and lavender)
bin the shoes that are too small (a shoe shop in your hallway is not nessasary)
i think that will do for today i have no intention of tackling my bedroom
p.s if anyone wants the recipe for the floor freshner please let me know i give it to all my clients (well i did untill i became unemoloyed) and its great.
hmm maybee finnish my coffee 1st0 -

I'm sorry. I must behave. I realise that those of you who have not seen what I saw this morning when googling won't have a clue what I'm talking about.

Morning Flyers
Just up and catching the thread. My aim today is to run round the house just to keep it looking lovely and attempt Ben Washing. Not too bad here today so I may well be able to line dry, sunny but cold.
Jjef so sorry thinking and praying for you and your family
Sexymouse Hugs
Dusty praying all goes well with the arrangements
Soappie Nice pie!:D
Toots how are you feeling today?
Right off to start with Ben just finish my tea first.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0 -
Morning all!
Big hugs to Jjef and your family, sorry to hear about MIL
Thanks Soappie for th pie chart - did you put Restaholic in the right category? LOL!
Have done a big wash up and clean up in kitchen - it looks much better now.
Going to have a bath now, and then we are going out. The place is quite messy which is annoying me, but will have to tackle it on Monday. Not sure if I'll be online much more today, probably not so have a good weekend
DH nearly put vinegar in the salt cellarhe says it's my fault.
