    Little ones had lunch at 1.30. DS1 and 2 at 3pm. I am very stubborn and they thought I had cooked for all of them at 1.30, DS1 and 2 were not pleased but I was even less pleased that the bedrooms were still untouched. They are all out in the garden currently picking up all the stuff they threw out of the window instead of putting it in the bin. The kitchen window is below DS1's bedroom so did he really think I wouldn't notice???

    Hi everyone,
    Am extremely busy at work and still fat after last weeks mystery shopping food binge, so still trying to keep home to exercising, eating sensibly and relaxing. Also managed to be good so far and not been to the pub since last Friday! Bit gutted today cos didn't get Rage tickets despite me and DH queuing from before 9 til they sold out. Ah well, onwards and upwards!

    eta kaz congrats on the happy new arrival.
    keys on a flippant note, maybe your DD is just going to be a research chemist?!
    greenbee this comes into the category of offering annoying unasked-for advice, but surely your DB knows some eligible men? Think he would need to be super-bright and either very alpha or majorly laid-back.


    We have got our well and filters fixed, so back on the well water for us when it passes it's test, yay!
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
