    I love this thread so much - I read it first thing in the morning and it boosts me up to get on with things :) Another fab thing is that I have started to get up earlier in the mornings just so that I can read it before I go to work and I've started doing one or two things in the morning! I feel the cure for me is in sight :D
    Happy Mothers Day all :)

    Happy Mothers Day!

    Ive got a lovely card off DD a DVD, butterfly fridge magnet and two cat ornaments. :)

    Ive just got the bathroom to do and that doesnt take long. A bit blustery with a cold wind today. Im going to do what needs doing this morning then watch my DVD later. I need to remember I have a couple of forms to fill in. One for Mum and one to my endowment company. Will do that when I finish on here then they are done.

    Morning all,

    Been tootling around on here most of the morning, so decided that it was time to fly, so I've put one load of washing in the WM and one in the TD and put one load away. The weather here is nice and sunny, so I'm determined to hang at least one load of washing out on the line to dry instead of using the TD. It'll be the first load line dried this year.

    Happy mother's day to all of the mothers out there, whether they be the traditional kind, or mothers of furbabies! lol

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    One big bin of clothes folded and put away, livingroom now nearly decluttered. I do have over 100 cd's to declutter to somewhere, most will be chucked as i'm pretty sure most are not working.

    Chicken in for dinner and kids playing nicely in their room. Now to get the WM and TD going, still have a basket of washing to get through today.:eek:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Happy Mummy's Day. My thoughts are with those of you whose mums are no longer here to share it with you :o.

    The twins brought me tea and toast in bed. I also was given a necklace and candle they had bought from their school Mother's Day stall and a basket of minature pink roses :D.

    We are going for a walk to the park and then I am making a chicken tagine for lunch
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j
