Thanks Lucielle DS1 is due home today, with tons of washing I suspect!!! Ned is doing well, farrier came last week to make his feet all pretty again, He's taken to getting out of the gate near the stable, so I have been over this morning and put a stop to his gallup IYKWIM more tape and now he cant get in the stable until I say so!! Hot choc was yum. really must start my diet again.;)

So pleased with my decluttering. Today I managed to shred two huge bin bags full of carp from the office. I dont quite know why I was hanging on to all the visa statements that have been the bain of my life for so long, I actually paid it all off early last year, still theyre gone for good now and I will never have a cc again. Why we keep all this carp I do not know. Ive still held onto bank statements for the past 6 yrs and some school stuff, but all the bills Ive kept are for the current year only, suppose most stuff is online anyway now. Managed to sort out DS1's clean bedding and make a little space in there, he's home in 20mins although I saw him briefly on Wednesday the place hasnt been the same without him this week, what will I do when he has to leave the nest, cry probably lots!!! Hopefully that wont be for some time yet.
Chilli for tea and sausages for kids, sun is still shining hope everyone had a good day, sorry for the long post.:)

Just popped in to see how you are doing

All good here at the mo. Had visitors late last night friends who moved to oz were home for a family wedding so it was a late one catching up, and we still have the school run this morning so Im a bit bleary eyed. All going ok, DD has her car back and its running great (fingers crossed) so that helps. DH has some work tomorrow and next week. Weve booked to go and see John Bishop in dublin in November as we never go anywhere really looking forward to that and a couple of nights stay so cant wait really. Moneywise ok could always be doing better but steady so ok.

Steady is ok Turfy, don't want to burn out!

We are going steady on money saving/repaying too. Glad that DD has her car back on the road. I am just waiting to hear about my motability car. DLA runs out mid October and I was late putting my new form in to them.

Hi everyone, sorry I have been neglecting my diary the past week or so. Weather is pants today. Took the dog for a long walk with DH yesterday all around the lake in Killarney, they day was gorgeous so it made a nice change and the dog doesnt usually get to go somewhere as exotic as that!:rotfl: DD has her driving test next friday so all fingers are crossed although there is no point really whatever will be will be I suppose. I have ordered a new eleccy blanket as we changed our bed to a kingsize before last winter and I got so fed up with the double not fitting properly. Got one that is meant to fit like a fitted sheet so no more looking for the tapes etc, will let you know what its like. Funny what we get excited about nowadays isnt it!:rotfl:

turfy I need an electric blanket but Mr Pooh cooks if he is too warm. he wants to keep the Summer weight duvet on the bed. Last year I had loads of extra blankets piled on top of me and he had just the duvet. What I could do with is one that has different settings for each side of the bed.
I hope DD passes her test. Our lives were changed completely once our kids learnt to drive.

I can just imagine the lovely walk around the lake in Killarney. We were there about ten years ago.The trees must be starting to change colour too. DS3 wants to organise a family holiday to Ireland next year. I don't think we will be able to afford it again for a long time. But I have my memories.

Hi Poohbear yes the leaves are all changing now and it was lovely. Problem is we dont do it often enough, I think we are going to make more effort this winter, the next walk we want to do is on Inch strand so weather permitting we may do that one next week. Yes I know where youre coming from with the blanket, I get too warm too so this one has two different controls and also a body/feet zone that you can do separately. I will let you know if its as good as it says hopefully will come in the next couple of days. Just seen the weather forecast and were in for torrential rain tonight deep joy!!

Hi folks, we had awful rain last night and lost the power for a small while. Been shopping today and the sun put in an appearance this afternoon lovely but feels a bit colder and more like autumn now. Met a friend for coffee and a nice piece of lemon meringue (naughty I know but nice) on that subject Im still eating too much. The courier finally arrived with the electric blanket hooray. Its been sitting in the depot for the past 3 days!!!! I have put it on the bed and will report back tomorrow. DH is late home and has a darts match tonight, DD is studying with her mate so will pick her up whilst dropping him off. Got two new wiper blades for her car today, they are the most fiddly things, I gave up, even the postie had a go but decided he's no use at those kind of things either. DS1 has managed it, well a 16yr old top gear fanatic has to be able to do them really!:rotfl:
