    Hi All :wave:

    Happy Birthday Princess Piper! I hope you're having a lovely day.

    Well, Ik*a won, I went for a long walk with my Mother, then off to Ik*a, got a few bits, and had lunch. Then stopped off at Matalan on the way home. Then school run time! As soon as I got back with the children, I flaked out on the sofa for a long kip! Bless them, I could hear them saying "ssshhh, Mum's asleep" You know that Mum snoozing, where you're asleep but can still hear them! :)

    So, DH is doing the Brownie run, and getting dinner from the chip shop :D

    I need to re-make the bed.

    Wash floor - bathroom
    Clean the baths/basins/bogs etc
    Declutter the pc desk and give it a wipe!

    Well I am so fooked off it is unreal!!

    I typed a big big whinging whining post and the lappy in its infinite wisdom refused to post it.. in short... I married a twerp and my bunny is really really poorly.. and as a result you have a weekend list which I will catch up on while I am sitting here on my own being bored witless on Sunday because I am simply not permitted to go out because we have split up he thinks I have no right to leave the houses and won't have the children for any decent length of time to enable me to even go do the shopping...

    I really don't want to hate him but he is making it incredibly difficult not to!!

    Both washers on
    DW on

    Just waiting for children to finish eating and I'll declutter some ice cream down their necks and them off to bed.

    Hazel is having a wander around the house.. happy as Larry.. she is actually managing to get through doors now without crashing into the frames!

    ETA.. how appropriate my 12,000th post would be a large whinge! :rolleyes:

    I flaked out on the sofa for a long kip! Bless them, I could hear them saying "ssshhh, Mum's asleep" You know that Mum snoozing, where you're asleep but can still hear them! :)


    I laughed at this.. although unfortunately for me my lot just go "mum", "mum", "mum", "mum", "mum", "mum", "mum", "mum", "mum" ad nauseum until I wake up bellowing "for the love of the Lord, don't you know that when my eyes are closed I'm ASLEEP!!!!!!"

    I still know whats been happening though!!!


    TOOTS all done today! Star if you please x

    will catch up with earlier posts later, I have an electrician round sorting out the upstairs electrics and I like to take a "supervisiory role" much to the workmen's annoyance!!! The fuse went off in the fusebox, as it does when a bulb has blown but I can't switch it back on, so something is obviously still tripping it (even though all the lights are switched off) I'm lucky that I live in a HA house, so they supplied an electrician within 3 hours of my calling them, as they have treated it as an "emergency" (can't have kids wandering around upstairs in the dark!!)

    hugs all

    Mrs B

    Oh I meant to ask, someone recommended Stardrops to me A G E S ago, and I have a bottle in the cupboard but I remember thinking it wasn't as good as Flash ("other cleaning products are available" :rotfl:) am I using it wrongly? Any tips anyone????
    :rotfl:If you have made someone laugh today... check your skirt isn't tucked into your knickers!!!:rotfl:
    Mrs B you're a legend.

    Ah, your poor mum Boddy, hope she is ok

    Lol Sarah we used to do that “shhhh mum’s sleeping” thing too! We also played a joke on her one time when a cricket match was on and made her really angry – we told her that Australia had won (she didn’t want to know the result as had gone out and had videoed it to watch later) when actually England had won, so she got really cross with us, and then sat down to watch, and then got really happy!

    I have resisted the ice cream. DH is bringing fish and chips home tho :o which is very naughty but I don't feel up to cooking and he has been out since early this morning and has lots more work to do before he gets in so will be too tired to cook.
    I've washed up and finally gotten round to putting the chicken dish I'd cooked into tubs so they can be frozen. There are 5 portions for 2.

    Pigpen - just wanted to say huge hugs for you, your bunny, poor Hazel and the children.

    Rosepink - congrats on the weight loss, just a suggestion on your fish and chips - don't eat the batter and you signifcantly reduce the fat content!

    Pigpen hugs to hazel, and the kids, I know you don't like them, but you can have one as well.

    Thanks Hex, I will do that. And I won't eat many chips either, I'm not a fan of chips. I just imagine all that fat I'm putting into my body and it puts me right off!
