Morning my friends
I have been up for ages but was trying to do a few things before i sat down here at the pc!
Its still very windy here but at least its dry at the moment - a few wet bits of yesterdays washing on the line and 2nd load in - decided i would do my towelling dressing-gown as it should dry quickly with the wind - its a nightmare otherwise! Will probably manage a coloured wash too.

triker good to see you managing to do a few things but go easy wont you - I have a walking stick now too - takes a bit of getting used to!!
froddy:wave: its not easy getting back into routines after hols or in my case hospital stay - break yourself in gently:rolleyes:
Rosepink well done for getting started - how long did your 1200 steps take you?
TAG enjoy your time with wee Bruv - hope the pair of you are a bit more motivated and alive today and you get more done to the bathroom.
AnW's Mum oh a new toy - master W will be able to set it up for you:p:p Hope the car washing goes well and you make loads for the fund. have a (((hug))) too for being in that club! xx
Lil_me steady now - ironing :eek: thats getting a bit carried away isnt it!!!:rotfl: Brilliant news about the dishwasher - it will mnake such a difference for you and maybe DH will put his things in it now. OMG you certainly are being ruthless but well done and keep at it :T:T- most of us have far too much clutter and its only when you move that you realise this.
MOAM yes its a pity gardens wouldnt go on holiday at the same time:rolleyes:
Ishtar what a load of work you have done - i think you should just catch up on sleep today - its not easy with a new LO-at least your DH is looking after you too. I hope DD gets back to her usual self once she starts school - its exciting and scary i suppose for her.
rach enjoy your swim - make the most of your pass
kazw can i have some of what you are taking - you are like a woman possessed - have you totally transformed your garden - I think I might have missed something - I remember you were selling your fish before i went into hospital.

Snap!!!!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl:
Soappie I was giggling when i read your post but now you and Quillion have excelled yourselves!!!
FFP you need to take it easy too - is Piper going to be ok for school? I woke early so feel i could nap already but will fight it!!!
Valli well done - when are you going? have a lovely time at the wedding xx

Anybody else got ungrateful kids, littley has been all over this 6 weeks holiday (future things planned) and she's just turned round and said she's not been anywhere.....ungrateful wretch, well she's gonna find out EXACTLY what not going anywhere means now....sheesh! spoilt madam! when I was her age I played with my skipping rope, a bike and tennis balls the full entire time...I didn't go anywhere! Was gonna take her to the pics this week but guess who's not going now :rotfl:ha! ha!

When you going to London valli? it's sounds fab.

toottifrootti

aw embb (((hugs))) its the hardest job in the world being a parent I think (not that i know!) I hope she is just having an off day - i am sure when she thinks about it she will realise she has done loads this hols!

right ....I am off to do...........something!!!!
toots xx

lil_me

embb I think a lot of kids are like that, mine are worse when we are home because they are bored, we do so much and are away so much they aren't used to it.
toots, I'll not get carried away, ironing is just for holidays not for Christmas :rotfl: novelty will wear off I am sure, I can't iron here as I don't know where it is.....

Right, time to get a wriggle on through that list, I was up until 5am sorting through stuff, more flung and very little packed which is a good, or bad (as it shows how much **** there was) sign I suppose

toottifrootti

At this rate you will have to change your siggie strip lil_me!

embb

I don't think she meant it as she's usually lovely, and she knows it annoyed me, she's still not going anywhere this week though, can't vouch for where they in laws take her as they look after her whilst I'm at work.

Now she's stomping around saying I shrunk her new t-shirt! Wha? ME? :eek: had a face tripping her up when she slammed the door :rotfl: I swear she's getting hormonal (she's already growing boobies) oh the joys!

On a happier note, I've emptied the DW, reloaded it, wiped all the benches down and cleaned the back door.

greenbee

Just thought I'd drop in and say hello.

Triker & toots - you're both supposed to be taking things easy. Hopefully Lady-L will keep you in order...

Just off to check my list - I have to do some stuff while I'm here... it's not a hotel, and I don't want my parents to be rushing about. Besides which, we have guests!

greenbee

More stars please toots... it may not be my house, but I've still done the work!
