    Nothing new to report this morning..

    I'm not jammin or baking.. I am however collecting dd4 from her friends at 11am, depositing her back with daddy then off to Mr T.. I have absolutely nothing in to eat so have no choice.. before you all moan at me.. I will just be mooching.. not trolley pushing and I can't lift anything heavy anyway as my stomach muscles have all collapsed..

    I'll write a kind of list I think...

    and seeing as I have woken up an hour earlier than usual I'll read another few chapters of my book then ask OH if we can get the carpet into DD2's room

    Morning

    Just about to have a work out with the iron!! and ironing.

    All this jamming sounds wonderful, and chance of photos of the finished products?

    OH is off out on his bike in a bit, they have a social ride out today, so once the ironing is finished, I am going to set too and photograph the ebay stuff I sorted out yesterday, I think there are 7 or 8 lots, hope fully they will sell.

    Back later, have a good day, hugs for those that need them xxxx

    Morning all

    Like others I woke early, about 7am which is fine as I'll need to be out the door about then tomorrow! I'm making the most of DH being asleep and having a cuppa and watching casualty :D I've just realised I forgot to turn my alarm clock off so I'll have to sneak back in there at 9 if he's not up!

    Today's plan is church, lakeland (only need a new microwave pan, mine cracked), health food shop, lunch out with DH, couple of bits from supermarket, dusting, more bits from the list, re-wax coffee table, finish the bathroom, WM x2

    After going to the Post office yesterday i was in Greggs when Ds1 told me Ds2 had something in his hand he'd taken from the PO.:eek: I gave him a talking to and marched him back over to take it back and apologise.:o I was mortified the little monster.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    pigpen is it an option to get one of those wheelchair trolleys when you go shopping and have OH push you? I'm worried about you walking about especially with no stomach muscles to keep you up, don't want you flopping about in the freezer aisle.

    Woke up at 9 this morning but it was really 8, I get all confused when the clocks go back, on the plus side, the clock in the LR which I never got round to putting forward is now right. that should stop OH moaning about it, I did tell him it would be right again on the 25th pfffft.

    Erm, not done anything other than dailies this week, my mega chuck out/cleaning session last weekend meant it didn't really warrant it, will be in for this coming week though.

    Gonna potter today, do some washing and go visit GD.
