    It seems to be her second favourite place to sit right on top of the puter, the first place is me, and anywhere will do. :D

    Awww Bless your DS justamum

    Lakeland is such a temptation, I can't help but covet everything that's in there. I bought one of those onion bags a while ago and it's fab, never chucked one out yet and they last for weeks, want the spud bag next.

    Just waiting for OH to come round then I can do his brew and his tea, get littley to bed then settle down to watch Transporter 3 yay!

    Sorry I didn't report back after my HHC, DH got the computer while I was gone!

    I've finished the bedroom list :Dstar please Valli :Dand started off cleaning the bathroom. Will finish it off tonight or tomorrow morning. Only got to clean the bath and loo.

    DH is feeling poorly and achey this evening. Hope he's only feeling the effects of his weeks work and not going down with something.

    Embb, what a completely gorgeous kitten! Shame they grow up into cats isn’t it!

    I’ve been to the Lakeland at Windermere, it’s great there! It’s their flagship store I think. It’s huge and a very tempting place! Need to get DH to go to the one in Guildford to get oven cleaner and some foil trays for mum to freeze things in. Might get some for myself actually, have got a voucher from my auntie

    Hello :D

    Well today wasn't the work hard day as planned, instead spent it with Matthew, his Mummy and my boys. Went to the pub for tea too :o that is twice in a week how naughty. I felt much better in myself so thought may aswell. Shattered now :rotfl: but need to do study time x 1 million tonight.

    DP and I just been saying we need to do stuff ready to go away next weekend, well here's the problem, just off the top of my head.....

    Monday - dog groomers, appointment for me
    Tuesday - DPs test day then his club on evening
    Wednesday - iCMA due in, I am at meeting all day
    Thursday - I am out all day with school trip, then cubs/swimming on evening. Must get TMA for Inc Ed course sent by today.
    Friday - meeting on morning then we need to drop caravan off, me come back for the boys/dog, take boys/dog up there, go get DPs friends wife from work, set caravan up & stay there overnight
    Saturday - have DS2 back home for 9.30am (I think must check) ready for camp then drive back through to help with day
    Sunday - hopefully after the day finishes pack up and away to Kielder.....oh after dropping off generator, racing stuff etc and collecting clothes for the week (drop off mucky stuff too)

    DP working Sun, Mon, Wed, Thurs night..........SO it looks like, I need to do Costco Monday...slide in fitting in my assignments and DPs somewhere.....scream a little....pack everything inc for DS2s cub camp....run round with broom inserted up bottom to try to keep up with housework....you get the picture?

    Anyway this all means I need to be super organised, something I don't do easily, so tonight weeks schedule will be written, essentials in and see what I can squeeze in where.

    Oh embb it's next weekend we're near you if you still want to meet up, I'll be the one running about like a divvy :D
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    grateful good luck for Thursday. I'm sure you will impress with your enthusiasm ;)

    embb lovely kitty - my two were terrible for jumping on the benches when small, but like hex says, make sure its not acceptable. I heard you could put tin foil on the bench and when they jump on it they don't like the crinkle. My favourite method when my two are messing though is to squirt water at them. Honestly, one of mine will stand on the edge of the bench if the baby gate is on and he is trapped in the kitchen to help him escape over it, but other than that no. The other one doesn't bother. We make sure we don't leave anything tempting in their reach though.

    lil-me you always shedule so much for yourself but you always seem to manage it. Hope you feel a bit better anyway so you have the energy to do it all.

    I'm really bored tonight. DH wants to watch eurovision even though i told him i really didn't. Not that he took a blind bit of notice of me as it is now blaring away.

    I've tidied away all of the toys in the downstairs of the house and sorted a bag of the more babyish bits to send to the charity shop. I hope i've hidden it well enough not to be spotted by the boys before i get chance to send it off. I've also swept the downstairs laminate floor and cleaned the dining table.

    In-laws will arrive about 11ish tomorrow, so i think time to run a hoover round and clean the bathroom in the morning.

    Going to see if i can persuade DH to watch something decent, otherwise i might just take my book and have a bath and early night.

    Michelle
