    Evening all

    Happy Birthday Tooch and glad you enjoyed the film. We weren't impressed by FMrF and like you had annoying person in front of us.

    Got most of the stuff DS1 needed - cost a small fortune but hopefully that is him just about kitted out for a while.

    Need to empty the WM and see if anybody wants any dinner.

    Feel really tired and Soappie - have you lost your dog cause it's sitting right behind my right shoulder at the moment!

    A big thank you boddy - very much appreciated xxx

    Flying....erm....er...erm...kitchen is tidyish and the painting is nearly finished in DS's room. Tomorrow is a trip to I**a but sadly I can't go as i'm taking a bunch of children to the cinema to see cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Should be fun! It's hard to tidy here at the moment as contents of DS's room is EVERYWHERE! The plan tomorrow is to fill the boxes we get from Ikea. If it's in a box it can go back in his room....if it's not then it can't!

    Big hugs to you all especially LL and tootles xx

    {Mudders wanders off wondering if she should also put DS in a box to keep the place tidy!!}

    Just the bathroom to do tomorrow - and I'm delegating the kids' rooms to them - HHC challenge each tomorrow should do it!

    I've been trying to get my planning done for next week, but after an initial burst of enthusiasm, I ended up just wasting time. I gave up after lunch, and went out to attack some of the big roots left after DS2 dug out the shrub - they're from the laurel bushes next door. Then DD and I went to Matalan - and I managed to find some trousers and also a long sleeveless top in a grey marl thick knit. So, I can now go on the French trip! (My wardrobe is truly pathetic, I need to lose weight and won't buy clothes this size.)

    I've made butternut soup too. Must go throw food in oven.

    :bdaycake:Happy birthday tooch!:bdaycake:

    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    He's had a really good day and only had pains in the last ten minutes which is fantastic - fantastic that he's been pain free not that he's in pain!!! We've now been sent another appointment for next Tuesday with another doctor at the hospital....i'm taking him to both appointments :D.

    Mmmm a cupboard.....must be an empty one somewhere!

    Does anyone want a fairy cake, a rock cake or a shortbread biscuit....think my daughter has gone for overkill in the kitchen:rotfl:xx

    Yes I'm fine - well I was. The BD is at the bottom of the garden again but I've noticed that, due to a particular online local news story I'm getting personally slated though the story is nothing to do with me! ~sigh~ It seems people want to blame me for it though when actually it's a point of law. Never mind. I'll just have to keep a wary eye out for vandalism again in the next couple of days....

    Kaz - that's top news about DH I agree!
