    Morning all

    One load of washing out on the line, it's lovely and sunny today.

    DH is mending the gate now! All the jobs he said he would do at Easter (and I didn't believe him ;)) and he's doing them.

    Poor dog has to walk between the gate and me because she wants to be with both of us, she'll sleep well this afternoon.

    When the grass dries up a bit more I hope to cut it, might be this afternoon.

    I was hoping to get the grass cut this w/e but it rained overnight and hasn't dried up yet, maybe tomorrow.

    Off to do some filing then I can cross another day off.

    Morning everyone (just),

    Had another late night last night, as I had another nap yesterday afternoon so wasn't tired when I went to bed. Went to "Power Yoga" at the gym yesterday as I haven't been to the gym for a while, and there were only 3 of us in the class! It was great cos it was like having a personal training session, but also embarassing, as everyone could see me when I got out of time and when I did the easy options. I'm glad I did do the easy ones though, cos my muscles are all protesting today! I've found some stomach muscles and lots in my legs that obviously haven't been used in a while.

    Flying wise, I've managed to fling a few more things, but not sure if I'm going to make the 100 target.

    Need to go to the market today to get some fruit and veg, cos I weighed myself at the gym, and although my weight has come down, my body fat has gone up so need to start eating more healthily. Think I'll try and make a fruit salad or something to snack on.

    Well I'd better get dressed and get going. My Mum wants me to get her a couple of things in Boots too.

    Will be going to the gym tomorrow, cos I've decided to do their marathon challenge over the next couple of weeks. If nothing else, it'll motivate me to go to the gym again.

    Right, enough waffling. Time to get on. Will do Friday's list in the master bedroom cos I'll need to change the sheets tomorrow anyway, and have no kids room.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    morning all.



    TAG great news . What a wonderful Easter egg. Here is hoping everyone else can return home safely.






    thanks everyone for your replies re the holiday. IK would definitely do it again but think I may go somewhere else just for a change. Would love to go abroad with them but think I need to do baby steps :D. TBH I did tend to look after the children when we were on holiday(he would do the driving so I looked after the children) so it is only being the only adult that is an issue IYSWIM.
    By the look of it it seems to be just me that can't be !!!!!d today. Not good. think it is because the children are of school.

    Just received my post and been told that I owe money re tax credit (knew about this) and they have still got it wrong. for some reason they think that I work 23 hours a week :rolleyes: when I don't work at all :(

    they want to reduce my payment each week but would much rather just return the amount they gave in error so I know that I don't 'owe' any money to them.

    Really need a kick but feeling a little down atm, keep thinking about dh/ex and it is getting on my nerves. I am sure that he isn't thinking about me at all. he is now working away so hopefully will be able to have the children next weekend.

    mojt I know exactly what you mean re: thinking about your OH, when we split up it was all I could do because I still loved him, he wanted the split not me which made things 10 times worse but he kept coming round, we got on great and I knew in my soul that one day we would work everything out and be together again, my patience paid off. You still love your OH.

    Right, I've filed till I can file no more (nothing left to file) found another 11 things to chuck so that'll make 115/100 lol

    Tuesday twinkles! - Living room, hall and stairs!
    Level Two

    mop the floor

    Wonderful Wednesday - Kitchen and dining room
    Level Three
    Sweep and mop the floor

    Thursday Scrub-a-dub ~ bathroom/loo and cruddy study!

    Morning all

    Another one having a lazy day today! We decided to shelve the idea of a walk today as I'm clearly not up to it, so I'm just having a lazy day! DH is studying. Don't think I'm ill as such, just a bit flaky and probably just got too tired - back to work after the holiday must've done it! I do have a few jobs I want to do, I'll post my list in a moment.

    So far I've moved a pile of books which I've swapped/need to swap into the spare room as they looked messy in the hall.

    tag - such great news
    mojt - hugs. when mum was on her own with us we mainly went on uk hols, twice went abroad but always with others - once with my grandparents, their friends, the friends daughter and her son and once with a single female friend of our family. i think that really helped mum as she wasn't the only adult!

    TAG that is wonderful news!
    embbb good idea, pile the unsures up for a fashion show when she gets home :) keep her busy for a little while. As for not flying, in the much smaller space you have to fly little and often!
    pigpen sounds : eventful lol
    SarahS I am so not looking forward to 10 days of laundry!
    Polly lol I always say my dog gets the most exercise following me around
    Aww boddy the poor little thing
    mumofjusttwo I know it's not exactly the same but I look foward to DP going home now, just up to me and the boys what we do, spend more time relaxing than when he's here

    Weather pants again today, planning as lazy as poosible day. These days are the cheaper ones without DP here lol I didn't spend a penny yesteday and don't plan to today! Water needs doing, washed myself inc hair in here this morning to save dragging the boys with me to the shower blocks.

    Dog thinks it's great, all these people = lots of BBQ left overs he keeps finding! Trying to stop the walking vacuum the best I can because don't want a wedged bone or something, wish people were a little more thoughtful when throwing stuff away (you'd think they would be more bothered about vermin? or is it just me?)

    Anyway, going to see if this rain stops before lunch time, if it does will do the water/toilet then. Oooooo it's coming up to 12 noon, wonder how many more people will be trying to cram in here :rotfl:
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Tag thats brilliant news.:T:T:T

    I've read the thread but i swear everything has left my head.:o So big hugs, congrats where needed and i think from now on i need to keep a pen and paper with me when reading the thread.

    The kiddies are all nuts today and we've counted 14 easter eggs so far.:eek: Think i shall be hiding a few.:rotfl:

    Right best make a start.....
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
