Suffering from a severe attack of CBA... so need to find a reason to get moving and out of the house! My brother has just texted to say he's busy this weekend, so no chance of persuading them out for a walk . All I really want to do is lie on the sofa and eat leftovers!

Washing up done, DW on, leftovers sorted out and in fridge/freezer as appropriate. I need to think about food for the week that the builders are here too - for them and me. I'm not sure the fridge is big enough! I'll have to do a careful mealplan next Friday and get it all sorted out over the weekend. So I need to run down the freezer a bit this week - a great excuse for no proper cooking!:D

Thanks for noticing, like Toots said I had a ski lesson and the lift was a rope pull - I feel like I've been in 15 tug of wars with the world's strongest man and lost each time:rotfl: Hoping the instructor lets us on the next slope with the button life this week. Sorry Lilly has still not come home:(

Oooooh I seeeee, don't know how I missed what you'd done, rather you than me though I can almost feel the pain *shudders* my arms are still sore after playing 'just dance' on the Wii and that was a week ago :rotfl:and Thanks :kisses3:

Not done a lot else since my last post but that's ok it's the weekend. Going out for a drive with OH shortly even the snow doesn't put me off a ride in the big van - child that I am! gonna get some more gas whilst we're out so two birds, one stone kinda thing.

Happy Birthday Master W.:bdaycake:
Happy belated birthday to your DD Valli.:bdaycake:

Hubby departed to airport, been to ToysRus so kids happy, lifted script from chemist. Waiting now on the sparky, why is it when the kitchen is a mess he'll be here for 9am and when it's tidy he'll not arrive until 4pm.
Fire is lit, heating on and i'm still freezing, could just curl up on the sofa and sleep.

Aw, bless! Im glad you bit your tongue and went with the 'praise' approach - it will more likely encourage him to stick to his newfound ways that you have been trying to implement all along! Im glad your still posting RP.... xx

Flying wise - I have done my first online proper shop. The last few weeks ive been £80-90 - this was £66 inc delivery :T:

Yes, I'm glad I went for the praise option too, we had a long talk after he came back from the cinema, as I was feeling very stressed about the tax return not being done, and he said he gets so overwhelmed with his failings that he gets discouraged and ends up not doing anything. So I listed all the good things he does, and will continue with the praise. I do praise him a lot anyway, but I think I need to do more. Well done on your shopping!

Pigpen well done on biting your tongue

Ruth I’m glad you’ve found your mum, hope she’s ok x

Potty hope your hand gets better soon

Sexy, Courgette and Rach, glad to see you back

Serena hope you feel better soon

Holly I hope your interview goes well

Kalojac I hope you are better soon

Toots, wow you are under 30 things on your list! WTG!

We are both feeling rough today, meant to be going away for the night at Mum and Dad’s but DH has a terrible headache and I’ve been tired and headachy. I think it’s cos we had a late night up talking and then DH had a massive sneezing fit at 1am! Not sure if DH is up to going or not, he seems to be in terrible pain, poor thing.


He did try to do his tax return today but found that he needs to activate his account and they have to send something to him in the post once he's done that. Has anyone come across this before? DH says there was nothing in the bumph about it. He's phoned HMRC and they say to put in his tax return asap and if he gets a fine he can appeal it.

Hiya!

What a horrible week that was, glad its over! By the sounds of it we have all had a rubbish time. AF is due for me as well, PIGPEN we need a "warning list" of chocolate, snacks and a sign saying "danger PMT in action, disturb with care" :rotfl:

Oh and for those who complain about smilies - TOUGH. Live with it.:mad:

Anyways I will post my done lists a bit later, may get another star but we'll see. Hubby is away for a few days next week so will def get more done then lol!

Master W Happy Birthday sweetheart! Have a good one

Defluff TD
Get stuff ready for very long mountain walk tomorrow (11 miles :eek:)

Hi All

Was up late last night researching where I want to go for my 30th, and before I realised it was 2am! I was up early this morning for little ones football traning, so walked the dog at the same time. Then went for petrol and to M&S....

Am home now and decluttered hot dogs for lunch, dog is lying on my feet snoring and Im freezing - I want to stay snuggled on the sofa and do nothing.....

I really need to finish my lists though!! Loads of jobs are half done!!!!

I suppose I better get moving, at least flying will warm me up!! :rotfl:
