    Morning all,

    Big hugs Pigpen.

    This morning hasn't gone too well.:rolleyes: I had an argument with Ds1 about the fact he had no clean school trousers ( probably because they were all on his bedroom floor ). I asked him where yesterdays were and he said he's got dinner down them:rolleyes:. So, i sponged off the least dirty pair and defrosted the car. We went to pick DSS up and he was still in bed, turns out it's Teacher training day:o. Ds1's now gone out with his Dad for the day, he's only here until tomorrow so it's worked out quite well.

    Morning ladies

    School run done (eventually) with DD who initially refused to get out of bed as Imoaned at her. Well I tried to get into her room to wake her up and the door hit me in the face when I pushed it as she left her chair behind it :mad: then what with tripping over the carp on the floor before I got her bed I was not in the best of moods. She didnt take to me waking her up moaning at her :o .
    As we were running late school run was a rush and poor doogie was exhausted once we got back.
    I have done nothing more than finish writing the cards that need posting including wedding pics for some of the rellies that havent seen the album yet. Need to get them to the PO but need to find cash first. Will either have to ask DH tomorrow or wait for cheque to clear!

    Think I will clear the table downstairs then go up to the bedroom, put the fire on, get into bed and start wrapping pressies, havent done any yet!

    Will maybe fly a little bit after lunch even if its only putting the hoover round

    Thanks for the ecards 3tabbycats and lemanie

    and welcome to pillion

    Hugs to anyone who needs one

    Friday - children pits, spare rooms or just neglected spaces Done :D
  • Had to leg it down the road this morning to catch a delivery driver I could see parked outside my house as I came over the brow of the hill (he'd past me on the corner at the top of the road and I thought bet that's for me). Other Mum's were most impressed by my speed! Experienced at catching a bolting toddler me!

    Will try to to make anybody cry (sorry Lady L - thinking of you today) ) with my posts today!

    :rotfl: :rotfl: There you go, you made me laugh today......I too have this wonderful image of you :rotfl: xx
