I have been ironing and washing and flying - got through to Tax Credits so that's sorted:D (I needed to tell them I wasn't using the childcare - they weren't paying it but still had me registered as using it) so I put in my claim too.
Forgot to post a birthday card so phoned my niece to see if she could take it - in Mablethorpe and a bad (mobile) line. Then she phoned me - no she hasn't spoken to me and no she isn't in Mablethorpe so gawd knows who I called and asked if she was going to her mum's tomorrow - but whoever she was she isn't going to her mums cos she's there till Monday...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Happy anniversary hun. xxxxxxxx

I second that and I hope you have some very special, happy memories of OH and your wedding day and the times you had together and A and W too (((hugs)))

toottifrootti

hello everybody
I didnt get on before the shut down this morning - was very lazy!:rolleyes:

its not been very nice here - very grey and cloudy and tried to rain a couple of times.
But my day was made sunny and bright with the arrival of A Hug in a Package!!!! I received 2 fabulous books "The Almost Moon" by Alice Sebold and "Cry from the Highest Mountain" by Tess Burrows - I have already dipped into it several times and it looks a fabulous read about Tess's mission 'Climb for Tibet' and to promote World peace (its a true story) and it has been supported by The Dalai Lama- I know I will enjoy it and I want to say thank you to the lovely flylady who sent it and give you a big hug not only for your kindness but also for introducing me to this book - its right up my street! but you are naughty buying expensive books - I wouldnt have minded second hand!!! Thank you all for being so thoughtful and kind and caring xxxx

sexy you werent meant to get that interview and now you have had to make decisions and you have seen a nicer school - its all meant to be - and you will get the right job soon - I have every confidence in you. And I think its fantastic that you have made some new friends through your gym.
AnW's Mum and A & W - huge ginormous squishy hugs and loads of love for you all today - i am pleased you are busy - remember the lovely day of your wedding and the happiness surrounding it. I know you will cope - you are a strong lady with 2 wonderful children.
Valli dont be greedy and share the sunshine - I aint got any:(
Dusty you always make me giggle:rotfl: I hope you managed to get the issues with DS2's homework sorted out ok.
kazm how lovely to see you - what a blooming length of time they are taking to sort out DH's job - he must be so frustrated by it all - enjoy your peaceful weekend and your days away next week too.
Triker - have probably missed you but I hope DH is feeling better and you have a lovely weekend away.
penny you will have to compare sausages with soappie when she is back on - it sounds like great fun and you could be so adventurous with your mix.
Mozzy honey there's loads of time but make sure you have the important things done first - ie paperwork as some of it can take time and can only be done during working hours - packing sorting and flying can be done in the evenings.
SS supergirl hi babes - hope you managed to have your day on the beach - well done Harry!!

Ok I have been to asda this afternoon as it was like old muther hubbard here! Its not a lot better now as i couldnt carry loads but at least i have things for a couple of days - I need to meal plan and do an order i think until i am fitter to go out and about for my shopping.

I should post my list of stuff somewhere and see what suggestions I get for meals:rotfl::rotfl: or not as the case maybe!

was trying to keep the washing up to date - a load a day keeps mount washing at bay!! - but the people next door have a barbecue going so havent been able to hang it out :rolleyes:
toots xx

gratefulforhelp_2

In my HHC i...
watered plants, potted up pumpkin, and, er...not much is it?

Toots you sound as though you feel better, or you are putting a very brave face on it, or both?

soappie

Hello everyone, I'm home!

Won't have time to catch up with the whole week's thread - can anyone give the potted version? I see our dear Toots is home - welcome back hun!

Had a fantastic holiday. The weather was brilliant, the accommodation far more spacious than we'd anticipated and the views of the sea were superb.

Now it's back to washing, cleaning etc. but I feel much more relaxed and my batteries are recharged.

Only thing is I now have to scrub the bathroom from top to toe. The kids didn't think to open the window there at all whilst I was away and the mildew's back. Off to get the bleach out.... ah me, it's as though I was never away...

toottifrootti

oh soappie its so lovely to see you - I missed you! It sounds like the holiday was just what was needed - did Beffy Boo enjoy it too?

toots xx

Valli

Toots I would bring you here to sit in my garden in the sun if I could

Hi Soappie - had a good break?

soappie

Hi Toots - yes Beffy boo enjoyed it too - she had lots and lots of walks. We've both come back much fitter than we were before we went away. She couldn't quite understand yachts though and barked every time one sailed by the villa window!

Have just sprayed the whole of the bathroom with some mildew and mould spray I found lurking. Just need to wait 10 minutes then wash it all off.
