    Oh my, what a morning already. Was unsure why I had woken so early before the alarm this morning until I checked my clock and it was 8.10am :eek::eek: Kids have to be out of the door at 8.30am!!!

    Muttered "oh !!!!" OH turned over, told him the time and he put his hand to his head and mumbled "ohhh you don't need any help, do you?" and rolled back over :mad::mad:
    He owes a LOT to the flyladies that the bedroom is so tidy there are no sharp implements lying around, cos I swear I might have maimed him this morning.:rotfl:
    Managed to get them all out of the door with a lot of "encouragement" shall we say!!

    So... cuppa tea & cig and I ought to thinnk about getting dressed. Will have to wait for Mr "Ohh Ive got a headache" to get out of bed before I can get started on the room today.
    I do have some loads of ironing to do, I'm starting to feel guilty that I haven't done it and I really MUST!!!

    Ah well onwards and upwards

    Anyways.....re bras...I'm 34 HH and I'm not pregnant, just voluptuous :eek: and can never find my blinking size anywhere....:o

    I'm a 36/38 I/J, the only place I've got (nice) bras is bravissimo, and even then I'm at the very edge of their fittings, and they're expensive (got mum to pay, £90 for four bras:eek:)

    *Hugs to Mumof2 and Rose* I can't pretend I know about depression, but I do suffer with panic and anxiety which can be quite debilitating. I hope very much that you get through these icky black periods and see the sunshine......when we ever get any!

    Toots and anyone else with one of the many dreaded lergys going round - Hope you all get better soon *BIG squishy hugs*

    Pigpen - Hope you had a good nights sleep and are feeling energised.

    Well, apologises, but I've been AFK since new year-ish, been following, just to busy to post, so much work, but since I'm on a week off I'm trying to keep up, although some crazy person keeps arranging stuff for me to do( oh yeah, that'd be me:rotfl:) But my home is looking fab and you can see the floor in the bedroom and the side by the sink so I'm proud:p

    Going shopping with mum later (but not for bras, trainers, which will be my birthday pressie) then for coffee with a friend, then a meal out with other friends... I really should have planned this better!

    *Hugs to all*

    I swear I am gonna kill someone in this house :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I have just cleared 4 empty deodrant cans, a handful of used cotton buds, a bin bag of rubbish, 2 glasses, a cup and a bowl from OH's side of the bed :mad:

    I am so angry. I try to keep the house tidy but no other b00ger does.

    Went to put something in the bin and BIL (who has been living here for 5 months now) has put all his beer bottles in the bin. HE knows I recycle and he only needs to leave them on the top, I take them out

    AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Shall be having words tonight :mad:

  • Morning all!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH! :bdaycake:Hope you have a lovely day.

    What car are you getting AnW's? We've just got a Saab 93 which is really nice and sold our old Mondeo on ebay.

    DD2's doing her bit and excercising the kitten this morning. They've both been charging around the lounge for the last half hour. I'm just wondering who will tire first!

    Got half an hour before DD2's gymnastics so I think I'll do a HHC. Could really do with doing a bit in the kitchen. Didn't get chance to do the kitchen yesterday because of work, then got back later, threw the kids in bed and did some OU work.

    OK, my HHC is now only 25 mins. Anyone else joining in?
