Congrats on your impending Auntiehood Greenbee.

I have scan pics now too and my parents have put a reservation on my spare room for end August/beginning Sept...

Thanks for all the congratulations... I'll remind my SiL that later is better - not necessarily because of being older or younger for the school year, but because she'll have a whole extra year with the baby at home. I did tell her that if she wants cousins then she's going to have to help me out finding her baby an uncle first! As she's an only child, I'm the only aunt... guess I'd better start baby-proofing the house I foresee a lot of babysitting in the future...

Commiserations Dusty... I hope they aren't too demanding...

(((Hugs))) L-L

My favourite....creme caramel. mmmmmm. or creme brulee.

Fair amount of snow here. Maybe that's the reason why the potential ebay purchaser hasn't shown up to view the car the for 2nd time?!?

Started with a cold last night and woke up feeling carp this morning. DH is out at football today and got his parents round for tea after the football but DH said he'd sort out all the veg and potatoes before he went out.

Need to do a dark wash, quick tidy of the lounge and of the floordrobe in the bedroom then if I feel like it maybe a bit of ironing.

Have a lovely day everyone.

ETA: Congrats Auntie Greenbee to be. Lovely news. Bet you'll be a fab Auntie. xx

Glamazon

trying to start as I mean to go on!

after decluttering the kitchen last week I'm making sure I do a wipedown quite often and make sure no-one leaves anything on the tops otherwise it will just get cluttered up again.

I'm finding a quick tidy round before bed is helping - I used to be such a lazy b00ger but as the little man will be crawling soon I need all the clutter out the way and the house reasonable tidy and clean (ish)

Morning all,

Congratulations Auntie Greenbee, i think you'll do a wonderful job of it.:D

Put washing on airer
Sorted recycling

We're going for a walk this afternoon so i'd better get Ds2 dressed ( he's been painting all morning so i didn't think there was much point ), fold the stuff from the td and make some lunch. I've just ordered a massive hutch for the rabbits so they can go back outside as they're ruining my house being in.:eek: They've grown so much the hutch in the garden is no longer big enough i'm sure i was sold giant rabbits by mistake.:cool:

I am a web leopard according to the tests I did this morning

And I'm a web octopus! I had big trouble with the game with the objects behind the doors. The others were quite a breeze.

Dusty - hugs on the boys broken arms - hope they heal soon

Pavlova mark II is in the oven and will stay there for however long it takes.
Been to Mr. T's to shop.
Now need something to eat and then clean out the freezer so I can put my new butter mountain in there (Lurpak was on offer )
