    Hugs triker xx

    I've made a batch of bolonaise (sp?), helped the children make banana loaf, done three loads of washing and have set up the ironing board for DH to do the ironing!

    Rosepink....I sent the pigeon a while ago so the raspberry and choccie muffins should be there any minute...unless the pigeon ate them of course!!!

    We're off to see Night at the Museum 2 tomorrow and taking a friend's son too....i've just been to tesco to get the drinks and sweets and just need to find a bag to put them all in. I refuse to pay cinema prices for snacks!

    Hope you all have a nice evening xxxx

    Have a good time Mudders - let me know what it is like as the boys want to go

    Triker hugs hun

    Feel really proud of myself I've just done the tax form for Nan's estate which I have been putting off for weeks. Just the probate form to do and then I'm nearly there.

    Time to stuff a small child in the bath

    Kazm I forgot to say earlier - enjoy the perfume you lucky lady!! what a nice surprise.

    soappie - thanks - I think its anti-procrastination/get of your butt and do ebay vibes I really need first!!!!

    well done Dusty - thats another paperwork job out of the way - you are making good progress.

    Mudders and someone else have both mentioned making banana loaf - is it made in the BM?

    have reconciled my bank account - have you been doing your Valli?

    have spoken to my friend and made arrangements for tomorrow.

    Going to do a little for half an hour and then unwind for bed at 10.15!

    Why thank you very much :kiss::D The dot to dot picture is coming a bit clearer :rotfl:

    It's not worth dyeing the odd socks, it just bugs me that there are so many! With each wash I am pairing all I can and then looking in the bag to see if can make any more pairs.Today I have added and taken from the odd sock pile :rotfl: Once we have sorted Miss A & W's (and our :o ) bedrooms and I know there are none lurking then I shall bin the rest or give them to school for sock puppets.

    Evening lovely ladies

    I am signing off (unless I can get wireless free in the caravan during the rest of the week) until Sunday night when hopefully I will be back and fresh enough to tackle another new week.

    Have to find some clothes to throw in a bag for our trip tomorrow - I refuse to take anything else as it should be there already.

    Massive hugs to all those who need them and enjoy the rest of your week

    Kaz x

    ETA Woohoo I got 2 stars, dont think I've done that before
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!
