Morning folks

Sorry for missing yesterday, but I was having an off day and did nothing flying wise, did go and buy a pair of shoes, some underwear, and 2 x t shirts.

So far today, I have boxed up OH's 'stuff' from small bed room and put it in the loft!:j I can now clean the shelves etc in there
WM x 1 now it is raining so not too sure if to wait a bit to put it out.
Cleaned the kitchen Star Toots please:T:T:T:T:T
Finished Friday's list already!!:T:T:T:T:T
Cleaned off kitchen table of OH's 'stuff' which is now in another box.
Sorted out and dumped 32 items out of my underwear draws, ie faded stuff, stuff I never wear etc etc etc:D
Also chucked out 2 t shirts and demoted another 10 to the gardening / fencing painting / odd job draw, as they were stained or off white etc, but good enough for gardening:D
Fed cats at least 3 times each! (small meals only)
I've had a bath / washed my hair / got dressed.

Going to try to catch up on yesterday, then go to work for a bit.

Just gone to have toast and the bread is mouldy!:eek:

HI to newbies

Hugs for the rest of you

Happy Easter

Morning All

I'll join you mozzy

Mummyof5 - supermarkets shouldn't open on Sunday - unless they decide it's worth the fine but I wouldn't think so!

DH's birthday today but he's off to Blackpool for the weekend this afternoon with his mate so I shall be home alone again with the kids. Going out for lunch first though - we were going to go last night but he was back too late to go.

Going to sort some clothes out for DS now as he's just got out of the bath and then I'll start my HHC with mozzy.

Have a good day all

Jue

morning all.

Pigpen- try and have some breaks as you don't ant to crash and burn.

Not sure what my plans are for today DH/EX? came round yesterday to see the kids and apparently has a job about 3 hours away so while not be living with his mum. means he doesn't plan on seeing kids until next weekend. He has taken the DVD and most of the shirts from his wardrobe. told me to chuck anything else that is there Found it difficult seeing him as we seem to be getting on. A good thing for the children but difficult for me especially as I had a dream about him last night

Need to go to the shops but seeing as I will take the children will probably do a quick shop.


Only one more load of washing then I will be up straight.

and if all else fails throw the whole firkin lot in the bin!!

I have to say I have got a bit carried away with throwing things out - probably not a bad thing as I am a bit of a hoarder. I seem to be on a roll and of the view - if in doubt then bin it! My house is looking better for it


mumofjusttwo - (New to the thread so don't really know your situation but seems you are separated) know it must be difficult, especially if you are getting on, but on the positive side, from experience I can say it makes life much easier if you are getting on and certainly much better for the chldren as they really pick up on the vibes between their parents

I am going to the gym just now but going to post my revised list ready for when I get back:=. Most of it is my 'extras' as really went for it last night and almost there for this week.

seems to be a lovely day out there today so if it stays like that I may try and get out and sort out the front of the house - bit of weeding and tidying.

Off to Poland for a week with DD tomorrow. Looking forward to a break and got a good deal on a nice hotel but what a bonus - just seen the forecast and it/s 23 degrees. Sunshine as well as getting away :T Maybe better add 'find suntan lotion' to the list :rotfl:

Morning all :wave:

Happy Birthday for yesterday JennyBee and your wee boy is such a cutie!

Happy Birthday to julie's DH as well.

I have so much to do today. I havent been feeling very well. Think I caught nicki's and pigpen's germs. How is your throat piggers? Or was I hullucinating when I thought you said you had tonsillitus? I have decided on puddings for tomorrow. White chocolate cheesecake, which I have been making every Christmas, New Year and Easter for the last 5 years and an Apricot and pistachio pavlova. I was thinking about doing a different cheesecake, but have been overruled by the family :rolleyes:

BF and DU have got a busy day ahead as well. They are making me a raised bed. Well, BF built the frame yesterday, they just need to cut down some hedging and dig the soil, nae bother lol.

toots - where are you again? Is it Perth or Stirling? Or is it a wee town or village outside? Basically, whats the public transport like from Edinburgh? I'm thinking I could pop up and make tea/fuss over you/whatever at some point next week if that was OK with you?

Have a good one flypeople xx
