Joining you Hex a bit late

Dusty - eloquent replies to Jill - if they don't eat what you give them let them starve (because really -they won't starve)

JillD_2

you lot really have brought me to tears.
I have lots of lovely PMs in my Inbox from mozzy, serena, blueberrypie, soappie, toots, I am reading through them but need to stop now and get DD2 up from her sleep as we are suposed to be going to the park (though it looks a bit dark for my liking ....) there is a cafe there though and I have a free coffee coupon .....

anyway I wanted to thank you all, I cant believe youve all taken so much time to give me suggestions for coping with tea time stress, I will read through them all tonight , and already have some great ideas for making the whole process a bit smoother

Thankyou thankyou thankyou, I love you all

Group hug anyone ......

never ever ever ever never ever EVER go food shopping when you are hungry!!

Oh, and with no list! :rolleyes:

Im sure I could have done much better than I have, but hey! Its done now. And i did not buy one single piece of chocolate

Beef, Red wine, garlic, oxo, rosemary, mushrooms and some water in my slow cooker........smells lush! That can simmer away until my mum and little one get here. I have some mash and veg i can cook quickly when they get here, so I will be able to feed them as soon as they come in almost.

WM has been on while i was out so am off to put that in the dryer and then find my list.....

Love n hugs to all in need.

RE the manky boys: I made my little one strip in a car park once cos I wouldnt let him in the car with mucky rugby gear on!!

If LO and his friends get mucky in the garden/outside, they all have to strip off at the back door/in the kitchen before they are allowed in the house! Then they get chucked in the bath - same happens at their houses. If you dont want to strip off outside, dont get in a state! :rotfl:

RE the paint - I painted a wall in my hall recently and got emulsion all over my joggers (like cotton dance pants-style things) Anyway, I forgot it was there, and didnt rinse them first, it was all dried in and everything..... Anyway, I put them in the wash like normal and it washed right out. Hopefully their jeans will be ok.

Glad all you ladies seem to be going ok today.

Love n hugs to all just cos your all special.

xx

PS Toots - no - asbodog will be going back!!!!! will post up pics if I can for you to see later

Toots I have finished todays list. Just have the back of the desk outstanding from yesterday but need to boot the boys off the PC to do that so will wait till after bed time.

S&Sing the kitchen whilst sorting beef casserole for tea and making buns to use up some of the egg mountain.

Suit washed ready for tomorrow as part of the washing mountain slowly churning through the machine, lost enough weight to fit in one of my decent ones which is great, need to do lots of prep tonight though.
