    Morning all

    toots - glad you had a good time with the shattereds

    mudders & AnWs - have a lovely holiday

    L-L hope you can get the pain under control quickly

    julie - yes, the wiifit is the game and the balance board. let me know if you need any more info - we've got one.

    soappie - yuk, at least if you do it yourself you know the job will be done well!

    Feel a bit rough this morning, couged a lot first thing and my sinuses are painful, but popped some pills so hopefully it will ease! Think I kept DH awake a lot of the night as I was apparently restless and coughing. Oh well, I slept ok :rotfl:

    Very little in terms of plans for today. DH has just cleaned the kitchen floor, his mate is coming round to watch the cricket at 11ish, guess we'll all go out for lunch. I've also got Mr A coming 3-5pm. I'll try and do a few bits off my list inbetween too.

    Well ladies, not done that much this week on account of hen nights and wedding stuff to sort out. My sister has the most overbearing MIL who's decided on bridesmaid dresses, cake and the grooms boxers apparently, so we've been proactive and have been doing everything so there's nothing left for her to do.

    I'm off to have a shower and get ready for the day, will catch up when I get a chance!

    I am in such a good mood today!!! Must be because DH is away now :obut its probably just cos I got loads done yesterday! I managed to get the kids school dinners sorted so they are now on the free ones thank goodness!:D Only have their tuck money to pay out. Should get the cheque for their uniforms in about a week or so, but they already have uniforms lol. But will go and use the money for winter coats and shoes instead! I might treat myself to a new pair of trainers as thats what I'm living in just now!:D The only problem is that the kitchen and living room need done again! :eek:

    I have an electrician coming on Monday so the hallway and living room need to be spotless. When the council got the new heating put in here before we moved in, the company stupidly put 2 radiators over plug sockets so we are down a double socket and a single one:mad:. Its taken the company 8 months to arrange someone to come and blank off the ones under the radiators and move the sockets to where we can get to them. They are also supposed to be compensating us so we can re-decorate the living room and hallway:rotfl:. Depending on what we get I might be able to decorate my bedroom as well! If its vouchers I'll have to go to where they are from but if its cold hard cash, theres a shop in town sells emulsion for £7 a pot so we reckoned about £50 would cover the cost of the living room,hallway and bedroom, which would just leave the bathroom and kitchen to do!:rotfl:

    The council guy came out and looked at our kitchen and is arranging for his men to come out and give us a couple of wall cupboards. there was a larder cupboard but that space is now taken up with the boiler for the heating(!) its bloody huge:mad:!

    So as long as the hallway and living room are fine by monday morning that will be my aim. Sod the rest of the place, it can get done as and when its needed!

    Hubby just texted to say he has arrived and is on the way to the hotel, and its very hot! So I replied yeah just rub it in lol. Poopy head that he is lol.:p

    Right off for a wee sort out in here.

    Before I forget I was so pleased yesterday, went to put some veg peelings in the compost bin and discovered that we have produced compost!!!! Its only taken 5 months so very very happy. Leaving it though, want to keep this bin going till next year. I have a second one but that will be a long time before I need to use it at this rate lol.:D:D:D

    Speak to you all later!!!:beer:
