    Today has been a disaster as far as flying is concerned. Had to bring most of upstairs downstairs as all the carpets are up, floorboards are up etc etc while the electrician continues to hammer and shriek.

    In the end dh and I gave up trying to help, drove to the coast had a cup of tea at a seaside cafe and a walk along the beach.....picked the kids up on the way home and back to dust and chaos.

    At least I'm not cooking by candlelight tonight:D

    Hi all,

    Happy Birthday ajmoney:beer:.

    We made a fat free banana cake and some hobnobs that i haven't sampled yet.:AI cleaned up the kitchen afterwards, but then i went and cooked tea and messed it up again.:cool: I shall have to go and do it again in a bit. Ds2 and i have been playing Just Dance on the Wii and we've all been playing Mario. I think that's about it. OH won't be over after work as he's going to try and fix his friends boiler so i'm going to have to do the bath and bed routine on my own.:eek: Actually Tea was earlier than it has been for ages so it shouldn't be too rushed. Ds2 should go straight to sleep after his late night last night.;)
