Okay well we haven't gone out - the playworkers have appeared so the kids have gone to play with them for an hour - we may still go out when they go at 3 though.

I've put the washing on the line so a great big black cloud appeared and it tried to rain so I've brought it back in again and put it in the TD. I may as well do a HHC now.

HHC 2.15 - 2.45 anyone?

I have LOTS of campfire scented clothes to wash and the weather is not helping this quest :rolleyes:

I have no bread, milk, fruit, veg or anything useful in the house :rolleyes:

Hi everyone,

Hugs for everyone who needs them, especially zara, natty, Lady-L, toots, Soappie an Cally's DS (who had better not have passed swine flu to DD at Leeds Fest :eek: ).

Thanks for your good wishes! I think your DD will be safe, probably more risk from the burgers he cooks! He was asleep in his tent most of Fri & Sat. I' m taking him to the Docs later this afternoon. He has to wait in the car then be taken in via a side door, I wonder if I have a bell somewhere - unclean, unclean :rotfl::rotfl:

kind of feel a bit like this at the moment. battered broken and sore.
to everyone who has sent hugs, they have been much apriciated and felt.
I think im still a little shell shocked to be honest so i've got a friend coming round this afternoon and she's taking me out for a coffee and a little bit of treat shopping. Jase's given me his bank card and he's looking after the little ones so i can have some me time. I think i'm ok the one min and then for no reason i keep bursting into tears. Im so exhausted as well, been put on iron tablets cus i'm anemic. I just feel empty. Sorry for whittering on

Might be just me being blonde but I'm confused by what an avatar is?? After watching Charmed I see them as evil things hehe

Decluttered lunch and migraine tablets

Thanks for the lists guys i am in but playing catch up.

Had a lovely time in Norfolk went for quite a few walks and met the lovely Greenbee and Tara.

We spent most of our time at the beach and ds got braver every day.

I will catch up on the thread later need to catch up last weeks first.

Hugs to all who need them xxxx

Twinkly Tuesday ~ Kitchen of Grot and Diming Room of Gloom Done!!:D:D
Level One
Level Two
Level Three

Actually did these yesterday, but did a bit of extra tidying today, and also cleaned the cloakroom as well, so all the ground floor done. I've also hemmed two of the curtains for the living room - I want to finish them and get them up before the end of Sunday - three more to go...

I spent yesterday afternoon in the garden, and have cleared quite a lot -deadheading,cutting down perennials, removing the winter clematis from a tree to retrain on the trellis, etc

This morning I was in town, buying school shirts and trousers for DS2, and also a smart but light coloured shirt to wear on Friday. I won't let them wear black, Mum never liked it. I have my brown linen suit and a white blouse, and I need to get a shirt for DS1 tomorrow, and check with DD what she's wearing - hopefully, it won't take too much shopping.

Sunshine here, so I think I'll go to the allotment for an hour and get some veggies - feel like spending some quality time with my weeds...;)

ETA - bevan, avatars are the little pictures that people have by their names. Recently changed because dusty said that there is a flylady for every situation, a bit like Smurfs - I have a horrible feeling that I may be brainy smurf (not a good thing!), but would like to be a gardening smurf...

I'm stunned
One of the DS games I listed on Amazon about an hour ago has sold!
I listed it at just under the price of the cheapest one, not least because I have no feedback/rating.
Now I have to go and buy something to despatch it in! Think I will pop to 'my' shop and buy a couple of boxes. Then I can get it in the post today. While I'm there I'll take the 'fishing' set back...
What a shock...ace decluttering though when stuff goes out and cash comes in...DS will be pleased once I have deducted the costs he'll still have almost a tenner. Now, I wonder how they pay me?

(((hugs Jennybee))) it's hard leaving a baby...especially if that wasn't on the plan.


ETA
Thanks for the tips/offers re the Jiffy bags BUT I decided, as it's in a case, a box might be better/stronger and I NEED some good feedback to give future purchasers confidence IYSWIM. DS will pay for it from his profits and/or P&P!
