Morning all

Have decided this lying in bed in the morning is not on so have got up early. I need to get back into the habit if work on Monday is not going to be too much of a shock!

Happy anniversary Msgnomey

Love the photo lil-me!

AnWs - I've just heard on the news Status Quo have got OBEs!

Morning

I had intended on getting all the washing and ironing that I already had, done yesterday. But I had visitors that didn't leave until 10.45pm last night. So I kind of didn't get anywhere!:rolleyes:

Had a call from Little Bruv yesterday. He was saying that he'll come over New Years Eve, bring his girlfriend as well and could they stay. There's me saying yeah no problem that'd be great. Then when I came off the phone I realised it's today!!!:eek::eek::eek: It means an extra bedding change and more ironing.:rolleyes: The ironing I don't mind. It's the wrestling with the duvet I hate!

And somehow I've managed to delete ALL of the pictures I had stored on the computer:mad: No idea how I've done it But they have definately gone!!:rolleyes:

Right TD on already. Off to put some washing on and make a start on the list.

Morning All

We're going to the pictures today to see UP so will be going out in a couple of hours. Not doing anything tonight - unless you're picking me up on the way to mudders, greenbee:D - we don't normally do anything and TBH it's very rare for DH to be awake - I am sometimes but he never is!

Happy Anniversary msgnomey

Happy Birthday Tooch's DD

Well done to all newbies - you're doing great!

Right I'd better go and find a list

Have a good day all

Hugs

Jue

Greenbee - I think Wilf said on her last post that she was going to her parents after xmas, don't for how long
Msgnomoney - hope you both have a happy anniversary :beer:

Well DD1's boyfriend was suitably embarrassed and ashamed. I told DD1 she had to keep her mouth shut whilst I said my bit to him along the lines of "unacceptable behaviour and we don't EVER want a repear perfomance or he will suffer the consequences blah blah" and he is mending it and then painting it on Saturday

Hi Tag

A tip I saw on one of Anthea's shows a few years ago was to have your duvet cover inside out before putting it on, grab both corners of the duvet with both corners of the cover and as the cover turns the right way in, the duvet goes in as well, it is so much easier, hope that makes sense, kinda hard to write it down to explain :rotfl:

Tilli-Tot

Morning, just caught up and promptly forgot everyone I was going to mention,, sorry:rolleyes:
