    very windy here but not wet(yet)

    Diva - glad you managed a long chat with Tris! x:T

    Aussie - good luck at the bingo!:D

    (((hugs))) to PP and family x

    last of my 3 days off today. Back to work tomorrow. Taplord has come home from his milkround after being sick several times, he's now in bed asleep so I will be playing nursey later nurse.gif
    Other plans are to go and finish the spring cleaning of the house where the owner is in the USA till Christmas.
    My house is clean and tidy, just got washing to hang up when the WM has finished. If i've got any spare time(or energy) I might start painting DS1s room now he's moved out.
    Thats it for now

    Have a great day all x
    Do what you love :happyhear

    Morning All :hello:,

    Wet and windy here this morning and I forgot my brolly :wall:. Had to get the tram in today as DH has today off in lieu of working this coming Saturday. Wasn't too bad this time tbh, but I was a lot earlier.

    Have got the doctors tomorrow to ask about my ovulation problem. Am very apprehensive not sure how I'm going to get any work done today for thinking about it.

    OS today - ironing when I get home (I don't allow DH near the iron after an incident with some of my clothes!) and that's about it. DH is indoors today so he can sort tea and anything else that needs doing.

    Have a nice day all, hugs where needed/wanted xx

    Morning all

    Welcome Chocoholic :hello:
    Don't get too hot Aussie. Just do your usual and head for the beach. You know you love to turn [STRIKE]stomachs [/STRIKE]heads. :p;):D
    Hope Taplord is better soon Taplady but maybe now isn't the time for your nurses outfit. :naughty:
    Nice to see you here Caterina. x

    Usual monday morning madness here, not helped by the new addition to the family (Kittie) knocking over and smashing a bottle of my perfume at 6 am. The smell is everywhere. :rolleyes:
    Girlies are off to school and I need to get stuck into the housework. The whole place needs hoovered and I have mounds of washing to get through.
    Leftover roast pork for dinner so that's easy peasy. Need to do a bit of baking for the lunch boxes and make some jelly and yoghurt as I [STRIKE]couldn't be ar*ed [/STRIKE]forgot yesterday.:D

    Hope everyone has a lovely day.

    Haribo x

    Good morning guys,

    Wet and windy here today, got to take the bin bag out and sort the recycling and that will be me inside until I go and pick up LO.

    The 2 eldest had D and V early yesterday which setled by last night, oh joy! at least it wasn't LO and they both made it to the loo each time. They both wanted to go to school today and as they have been clear since last night I let them.

    The house is clean, last wash on, no ironing pile, I put up a new curtain rail in the boys bedroom yesterday as LO had been playing Tarzan with the curtains and pulled the old one off the wall snappig it in the process :eek::eek::eek: I am dead chuffed with myself with that one as Eric always sorted problems like that and each problem is a learning curve for me.

    Lunch for me will be some fruit and the left over chicken for tea - with baked spuds and salad I think (beans for the kids)

    Anyway off for a browse, and maybe order the last of the prezzies for the kids from Argos.

    Gentle hugs to all in need today (a big squishy one for pen-pin).

    Have a good day,

    Smoky. xxxx

    Making a beef cobbler for dinner with left over joint from y/day.
    Will get DH to go in the attick and get down prezzies bought through-out the year for xmas. So glad I have a book listing what has been bought.
    DD1 & DGD are coming over as DD wants to do her wrapping aswell.
    Weather has stopped work on the barn conversion, still lots to do in preperation for the glass roof being fitted on Dec. 3rd. Can't wait.

    NMLC, PEN PIN, and all who are going through a bad time ((((((hugs)))))))
