    Welcome back Rach - have you had a nice time? Hope so.

    Funfairprincess - i'm with you on the white insides of the milkyway- not nearly as nice as the old style. Will look out for flights? Not heard of them!

    Worked all day yesterday. Went to a 40th last night so shattered now. We've planted lots of seeds with DD and DS today. The children got DH a chimenia for father's day so he's baking spuds for tea with it. I reckon it'll be one of those things he'll only use once in a while but it's getting rid of all his old bits of wood he's 'collected' so i'm happy!!

    Hope you've all had a nice weekend xx

    My tidying and cooking paid off, DH had told his BF about my thing for yankee candles and he arrived complete with two large jars, a medium, 4 samplers, and 25 tarts :A. Worth tidying and cooking for I think :rotfl:.

    I just cleared the ironing pile to 'sweet violet' which was nice. An advantage of dropping two clothes sizes, I have chucked all my 16's away so I now own 4 T shirts, 2 pairs of work trousers, a pair of jeans, some cropped pants and that is it. Doesn't take long to iron, even with DH's work shirts.

    pigpen - hope you're not planning on doing all that list now and that you've managed a bit of 'me' time today!

    jjef - how was the Take That gig? I'm going in London next week :D

    Really should get some school work done now :rolleyes:

    Hi Nikflo, Pigpen posts the list for Monday later tonight. It does change so second guessing is difficult! Mind you if you deep clean the kitchen and Dining Room today you can always claim the stars later in the week. HTH

    *although the master bedroom would be good if you are feeling kind Pigpen as I have a long, busy, horrible day again tomorrow*

    Hello all, welcome to the newbies.
    Have skimread the thread so hugs to all.
    Feeling really tired after two late nights.(will I have an early night tonight? Doubt it haha)
    really pleased that I kept on top of the house this week, and am planning on keeping it up while getting ready for the van.
    DD is whinging she is hungry, she has only had cereals, smaries, dairy milk, cooked dinner, ice cream, pancake and an apple!!!.. Think she is bored, poor deprived child has no toys!!! But in general she is pretty good today.
    Has anyone got smiley cenral on their toolbar, bit unsure whether it is safe or not, FFP is that the ones you use?
