    Morning All

    Happy Birthday Lady L - have a wonderful day.

    Happy Anniversary Sarah - pleased things are working out okay.

    Thinking of you MrsMH

    I'me shattered today - I had a late night and then spent half of the night coughing so didn't get a lot of sleep. I've got loads I could do with doing today but I need to wake myself up a bit first.

    SSL - Bratz pjs 8/9 would suit DD.

    Hope everyone has a good day

    Morning all :wave:

    I meant to say last night, I have 2 pairs of girls pjs, Bratz, 1 aged 6/7, 1 aged 8/9, never worn, still got labels on them. They look a bit small to me for the sizes. They are from Mackays and I cant remember if Mackays are small for sizes? Anyway, who would like them?

    Oh yes please!!!!

    I ended up putting stuff back in the linen cupboard, but a strange valli like obsession has come over me. I couldnt put the crumpled stuff back in so I started ironing :confused: Most of it is back in, but I have a few sheets etc to iron first. What have you lot done to me???? ;)

    As Valli would say you have been assimilated:D

    6/7 would fit DD

    Thanks SSL, all his posts in that thread have been deleted now which is nice.

    I'm in a good mood now, sorry if TMI but i got the results of my smear and its all clear:D Had been worrying and now i'm not:j Will go and clean in celebration:p

    Doing the days in a different order to the list this week, but will go and do the bathroom in a minute. I also managed to get rid of four binbags of stuff yesterday - one of books to Oxfam, one of clothes to be collected by charity on Friday, one recycling, and one rubbish! So why is there still so much left???:rolleyes: I have also spent all the odd few minutes (five minutes until timer goes for dinner, that kind of thing) decluttering the hotspot worktop in the kitchen - slow progress, but it adds up.

    I spent yesterday morning in the hairdresser's, as DD and I had cut and colour - I now have more colour than white(!) and DD has streaks of bright red... then all afternoon in town. Success!! We now have something to wear for the wedding! I have brown linen trousers and a hot pink linen jacket, fitted, short sleeves (M&S). I already have a white linen blouse that will go underneath, and have spotted a dark wodden necklace that will go as well. DD found a dress from Jane Norman. This morning I have to buy shoes for both DD and me (hate shopping for shoes) and hopefully a clutch bag and then this afternoon, it's the boys turn - they have already found shirts and trousers, so I just have to check they look good - and pay!

    I'd rather be out in the garden, but bit of a deadline here!

    Thats ok, managed not to get into an argument with them as they are clearly !!!!!!! Never going to win an argument with someone like that and didnt think it was the place to do it.

    I was only 7 when Hillsborough happened but i remembering watching all the coverage on the news, its was so sad:( Watching the docu-drama on ITV3, its very good if upsetting.
    They have been deleted, I'm pleased. I reported them to abuse as I felt their comments were just causing more distress to people who have been through enough pain already.

    My plans for the day are to work on the LR and do some washing up.
    Will post a list later.
    Hope all's well, not completely caught up yet.

    Also going to write some jobs on our whiteboard for my girls to do whilst I'm at work.;)

    Things like the dishwasher which has been left for 2 days. It's a joint job anyway so they can do a load each.

    Also clean the cat bowl.

    Feed cat.

    Just their basic 'earn your pocket money' jobs.

    It all helps.:D
