    greenbee - congrats on completing the walk :T :T :T You should sleep well tonight !

    flower - I've just found a book on Amazon written for children so I'm going to order it. There's a really cute picture book too but I think he'll find that too babyish.

    pigpen - you've done loads today :T

    Sorry, i've not caught up at all. I went to take that with friends yesterday and had the best day out in ages....it was fantastic. I had been a bit nervous as I only knew one of the girls going but we all had a fabulous time. Anyone still to go ... it's BRILLIANT!!!


    Ooh! Me!! Me!! Me!! :j I'm going on Friday :D Can't wait as everyone says it's fantastic :j Going on my own though (unless I find anyone who wants to go :confused: )

    Have decided reports will have to wait until tomorrow so am going to have an earlyish night and read my book so I can get up at a reasonable time in the morning.

    Evening all,

    Pigpen i'm impressed you've done loads.

    Well done Greenbee on your walk.

    Ds2 hasn't been home long they went to see his Grandad and family as well. It was nice for him to spend some time with his Dad. I cooked Tea, ate it and fell asleep on the sofa:rolleyes:. Then i woke up in a panic that they weren't home at 8.30. i've also done a HHI and put it away.

    Ooooh Frodders....I'd go with you if I lived closer, i'd def go again. It is soooooooooo good! Can you tell i've not been out much lately:rotfl:. I couldn't believe the price of drinks though - I'm sounding old now!! I was only on the soft drinks and that was expensive enough....the alcohol was a rip off!

    I'm showered and in my PJs now, so just need to make it down the stairs to get some water, clean my teeth and give my feet some TLC, then I'm off to bed for a long, long sleep (hope I don't wake up needing a wee, as I can't see my legs being impressed at being asked to tackle the stairs during the night:rotfl:)

    Night all... see you tomorrow!

    Toots, so glad to hear about your new chair, it sounds like just what you need! Glad you’ve heard from Lady Liberty, its nice and sunny this weekend so that’s good

    Rach, great about finishing work early! Well done!

    Mrs B, glad to hear that your kids did their rooms, that’s great! And hovering as well! Wow! Giving up smoking sounds like a great idea, go for it!

    Welcome to all newbies!

    Boddy hope your DD’s friend will be ok and gets better soon

    AnW’s Mum well done for tackling the RoD!

    Hex well done for doing the paperwork mountain

    Flower, what a great explanation of ADHD

    Hugs Mummyof5

    1 Step, you have done a huge amount! Decorating, cleaning, gardening, visiting people, coping with broken down cars…hope your car gets fixed soon. Great idea about the flannel in the fridge, I could do with that right now

    Welcome Cycling Yorkie, no way are you the biggest challenge yet, that would be me!

    Re throwing makeup out – I went to put on my favourite eyeshadow today which I have had since the year dot, and it had grey stuff growing on it. :eek: Yuck. I think a shopping trip is called for!

    Pigpen well done with all your flinging

    Jo, I love the Shopaholic books! She is completely mad and chaotic isn’t she. Ben and Jerrys do low fat ice cream?? Mmm, must get some! I didn’t know that. How yummy!

    1 Step the more you post the more you get encouragement, but you can post as much or as little as you like

    Kazw, well done on selling your stuff! I really must get round to doing that

    FFP, I love the sound of your grandad’s dictionary. I love words, especially unusual words, and I love finding out the origins of words. You will have to post one new word a day for us all to learn! I’ve been to Alnwick, not to the castle but to the garden there. They have a great treehouse caf! there! I would love to go to the castle one day.

    It's so nice to be home! I can't wait to get on with things. I love going away and having a nice time away, but I love coming home and being able to get on with things. I wish it was Monday tomorrow! Isn't that sad! Ive really got to find a way to up my step count too, my personal best is 6000 and something, which is great for me as that's double what I could do in week one, but it's still pretty pitiful. I think uping my step count is going to involve going outside. :eek: But it will be worth it, I want to get this weight off.

    Dear Toots, please may I have a special award for cleaning my parent's house? I did lots of cleaning bits they don't normally manage to do, plus looking after their rabbit and watering the veg patch and greenhouse. I didn't follow any lists, but a few weeks ago some people got special awards.
    Please? On knees begging

    Lol - yeah i thought you would be pleased about the low fat Ben and Jerry's Rosepink. I also have a passionfruit sorbet kind which is nice too - but I was really impressed with how lush and chocolately the low fat one was - I definately recommend you treat yourself to some xx
