    Evening Diary!

    Hope everyones had a nice day! Ive not long sat down to be honest! Got up this morning, got ready and went out to my friends. Called in to the farmshop on the way and took some mince back which well lets put it this way... looked like it had mould in the middle... gip! They swopped it but for chicken as I told them I didnt want more mince! They gave me around £7s worth so bad since I was driving past anyway!! Also picked up some cakes to take my friends.

    Had lunch at hers and a nice catch up.

    Came home and started cleaning this house as it looked like a bomb had dropped to put it nicely! Also pegged some washing out, which is still out and I hope has dried! The house is lovely now... who will mess up first I wonder? The kids or the dog with his fur!!

    Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day again so lots of washing on the cards. Might even do my cushions and curtains from the living room.

    Thanks for popping in Fizzy, theres always the token naughty child at soft play isnt there!!! I am pleased with how weve done but I am getting a bit stalled with paying off if im honest! Just need to get over that one!!

    So ive just done my Mr T's order to come tomorrow, spent a little more than I might have liked but stocked up on beans etc whilst theyre on offer!!!

    Nothing much else to report! Cant believe its Friday tomorrow... boooo!!!! xx

    Morning Diary,

    Sorry I havent been around, actually dont know where the past few days have gone!
    Absolutely glorious here yet again :D. Definitely makes me feel happier even if I am stuck in the office!
    Just a quickie today as we are interviewing at 11am for 2 hours (not the same person!) and ive got a few bits I need to get done beforehand.

    So weve started doing our front garden! I took the girls to a party on Sunday and DH went and ordered all the bits. Its kind of like this thing http://www.diy.com/nav/garden/fencing-paving-decking/paving/patio_kits/-specificproducttype-circle_kits/Bradstone-Natural-Sandstone-Circle-Kit-Autumn-Green-Dia-2-46m-9273420?skuId=9283120

    Except they charge ridiculous amounts in the big DIY stores and we got the whole thing with the squaring off aswell for £110!
    So the garden is now mud until it gets delivered, they said a few weeks.

    Back to work yesterday, couldnt be @rsed but heyho!!

    Thats all from me really, washing pegged out as im sure you can imagine :D xx

    Morning Diary,

    Think weve fast forwarded to winter today :cool:! Well a warmish winters day lets say! Luckily we got the washing done at the weekend but will need to do some more tomorrow so it had better have a word with itself!!

    So last night I had porridge for tea! Didnt really fancy anything as such so had that as it was quick and I needed to get DD2 to her swimming lesson. She did absolutely fantastic and went down to 1 ring from 3, then one length at the end with none! They always start the next lesson with 3 to get their technique. Im soooo proud shes such a little star, not even been going 6 months and almost off swimming. I know you shouldnt compare but DD1 was going about a year before they started taking the rings off her. I joked last night that she needs to up her game now or else DD2 will catch her up, she wasnt impressed to say the least ha!!! DD2 is more the sporty one so I think she will do well, DD1 is too lazy and likes to get away with the least amount of effort! The swimming school also told me shes got a place at the same time as DD1 on a Sunday now so thats saves us trekking up there twice a week.

    Nothing to report money wise, except for I ordered DH's fathers day present last night. Some Game of Thrones books he wanted. Hope they get here in time, if they dont its his fault for not telling me what he wanted in time :rotfl:!!

    Since the weather is looking pants today it got me thinking this morning I need to get more organised again. I think I generally are more organised in winter anyway with the washing, meals etc. Just cant seem to get organised at the moment:rotfl:.
    I also realised that the BBQ DH organised on Saturday actually used up about 4 days meals :mad:!!

    Anyway, nothing more from me! Hope everyones ok xx

    Morning Diary,

    *rant alert ha*

    The directors in a mood today, omg cant cope with her when shes like this and it makes me want to hand my notice in (which I know I cant!). Shes just asked me about a piece of work and when I started telling her she said oh dont tell me ive not got time for this today?! !!!!!! ARGH!!!!
    Its going to be a long @rsed day til 5pm.... roll on my other colleagues arriving.

    So the weather is even worse today, ive got my winter coat and wellies on :cool:!! Had to use the TD to dry the kids uniforms for the rest of the week. The rest of the washing can wait and see what the weathers doing later in the week.

    GAP, we wont make it this month as weve got to save for our holiday spending money!! Maybe the beginning of August.

    Alice, thanks for popping in. Have you sorted fathers day?!

    Nothing much else to report!!

    xx

  • Rubbish weather isn't it. I don't watch tennis but i'm sure Wimbledon is on soon so perhaps that's why ;)

    My dh did a bbq at the weekend and took out 2 packs of mince (for burgers) 2 packs of sausages (bl00dy expensive ones too!) and was about to use them all for one dinner :eek: I caught him in the nick of time although he still used all the sausages & one pack of mince :( so 3 dinners in one!!! Was not impressed and he wonders why I don't like BBQs!!!

    Hope your day picks up a bit with your mardy !!! boss lol ;)
