    PPI Party Pooper
    Morning,

    Well done on getting your course Bonsi - what is it you are doing? I'm sure you have probably told us but my memory is poo:o

    Enjoy your last day Boddy:beer:

    Hugs Natty, it is so upsetting losing a cherished pet.

    Well done JennyBee, that is ace:j

    Toots - LO is loving being back at school and seeing all her friends. Just going to wake her now for breakfast.

    Hugs to all that need them, FeeFee, Jinky, Zoe, Toots, Lady L.

    Will take LO to school then empty DW, S&S kitchen and do some ironing.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Natty awww I'm sorry about Fred, take heart in the fact that he was loved and you did your very, very best for him ((((hugs)))) xx

    Well Done to everyone on their results, they're fantastic xx :T

    Enjoy your last day boddy x

    I've loaded the DW and set it away and that's it. Gotta make sarnies now, make the beds and S&S the kitchen, quick tidy of living room too, then littley drop off and a 3 hr clean at work, early finish today-yay!
  • Good morning everyone :beer: Thank you for all your best wishes for DD yesterday. Eventually she decided on Leeds College of Art :T She has plans to be an illustrator, which I think must be fate, as the current Children's Laureate is an illustrator and author, and started off at the same college :j We went out to see Harry Potter and for a meal to celebrate HSstars.gif DD didn't make her decison until we went out yesterday, so she has to ring the 6th form college at 9am, as she has an appointment there to register at 10:30 ;) She agreed that she ought to let them know before that time, otherwise it looks very rude :o

    Beautiful day here, so we'll have some more time tidying the garden. DD is keen to earn some more money, so I may get her as my "Little Helper" :T

    Off to find my list, Penny (aka Farmer Smurf ;) ). x

    So TD x 1
    Put clean dishes away
    Washed dishes

    Anyone fancy a HHC 8.30 - 9?

    I hope the rain stops as it's the last day for the playworkers to come to the fields behind us and there won't be a session if it's raining. The kids will be really disappointed - DD's made cards for them!

    Hello everyone,

    Chocolate cake in oven
    DW on
    Washing out
    Washer on again

    Have been missing in action this week as OH has a week off so been busy with the children,we went to Twycross zoo on Monday which was really nice.
    Tuesday we went to Crystal Peaks to get uniform for DS2 he has grown so much,also got him new trainers and school shoes.
    Wednesday I took the boys and a friend to Ponds Forge swimming then went to Toddlers.
    Yesterday was spent at a college interview for DD2,didnt do as well as we hoped in her exams but luckinly can get on the course she wants just a year below(if that makes sense) then shopping for DS2 again only wedding clothes this time OHs youngest brother gets married on 18th September,then went to the Mill for 2 huge bags of wholemeal bread flour,then to OHs Yard to hand in paperwork and let LO go on the coaches (he is only 2 and loves coaches).

    Today myself and the girls are off to Meadowhall wedding clothes shopping,I am totally dreading it....what on earth can I buy for a wedding for 2 girls who only ever wear black...jeans and band t-shirts...ripped and held together with safety pins...I only wear jeans so cant see me in a dress though I should.
    I can see sparks flying before the day is out.

    I havent read the thread at all since the weekend so hope evryone is ok and I havent missed anything important.

    Well done to your DD ...Penelope Penguin.
