    I do not live in the posh part, I am a schemie through and through:D

  • Maybe I wasn't in the right mood, but I was very disappointed by the poisons garden at Alnwick...

    Hope everyone is good, marking is coming along. Hoping to do level 1 next week, consistently.

    Great news about both of you giving up. It's always good to have someone around who is in the same boat. It's the one in the morning that's a killer for me. I get out of bed stick my slippers and robe on, grab my fags and go out for a smoke the minute my eyes are open. Was thinking I should go for a shower or something instead. The up side for me is that I eat a lot better when I'm not smoking and I could really do with getting some weight on. Plus cleaning is great anything to stop me thinking about it!

    Thats what I do!! the kids even know not to talk to Mummy until she's had her cuppa and a fag!! I could do without the weight gain though. I thought I might dust off the Wii fit and have a go on that whenever I feel the urge to smoke!!
    What a small world. I was too young to go to Memory Lane but I remember my older cousins going. OH used to DJ often in the pubs in Hamilton.

    *splutters* too young to go... oh thanks for that!!! :rotfl:


    Well Ive been [STRIKE]a right lazy moo[/STRIKE] enjoying some me-time this weekend and it shows in the house!!! Back to flying tomorrow.
    ohhh quick update on the kiddie jobs saga... The 3 oldest and I went all round the house today and tidied ALL the rooms together, picked up bits of the floor and put them away and sorted out the washing etc. It took the 4 of us 15 mins and not ONE complaint from any of them!! (The banana smoothie that I said I would make might have helped!! Not a bribe though, DD asked what the bananas were out for and I said I was thinking of doing a smoothie, then casually asked if we should have a quick tidy up together ;))
    Appreciate ALL of your input, Ive actually enjoyed pottering around with the kids this weekend (we did their rooms yesterday), its been easier on me and as silly as it sounds, its been nice to spend the time with them, instead of praying they will behave while I nip upstairs!!
    Thanks to everyone who commented...

    Now....some more "me-time" before the slog starts tomorrow!!

    Muchly hugs to all

    Mrs B x
    :rotfl:If you have made someone laugh today... check your skirt isn't tucked into your knickers!!!:rotfl:
    Mrs B you're a legend.

    Dusty hope you are feeling better honey and I am green with envy at your rasps and starwbs
    froddy hope you got your reports done - you too Valli
    sexy you should have been wearing safety specs or at least sunglasses - you naughty thing - you must protect your eyes.
    kazw thats a brilliant amount - hope you didnt bring too much back.
    fedupanskint hugs on both accounts - I know your first session will be hard and very tiring so dont expect too much of yourself tomorrow - and as for old doggy I am sure you will make the right decision guided by the vet - huge enormous squishy hugs xxx
    serena - what a lovely daughter - thanks for the piccie - what a smart couple - love the colour of her dress -and the style of his hair!!!:rotfl:
    lav dont even start to think that you are letting everybody down - you are not - that doesnt happen here -next week are you going to concentrate on one area so you can see what you have done or are you following the lists each day???? - if you are following the lists then try to do level 1& as much of 2 as you can every day - start small and build up. BABY STEPS REMEMBER - dont be put off by the others and the stars - we have been doing this way longer than you honey. You have done really really well this week - would you have done all that if didnt have the lists?
    FFp well done on deciding to quit - are you going to get help - patches or something?
    Mrs B - if you are starting tomorrow then the best of luck to both of you too - its great that DH is going to do it with you - that will make it easier.
    I will be sending *no smoking and loads of willpower* vibes to you both
    methe kids that was time well spent though even if it wasnt housework - maybe sitting at the pc has agrravated your hip - hope it improves - and your DD loks gorgeous too - love the dress and her hair-
    both of you Mums (You and serena)must have been very proud but sad to see your baby girls all grown up!!
    AnW'sMum :T:T I am so pleased that you are actually 'enjoying' getting stuck into the R of D - it has been hanging over you too long angel - and yes i think you have some extra items suggested here that you need to consider.
    soappi thanks for being on standby - and I am delighted to hear BB is much better - the heat used to do that to my affie!
