    Cooooeeee!!!! Hello Flyladies!!!

    I have returned from my week away on the lovely Northumberland coast with my dog. Lovely week and rested and relaxed.

    My eczema flared up again during the week and is in the last phase today so have had to lather on the moisturiser for this every hour or so.

    As I completed nearly all the lists before I went there are only a few things that I left to tackle this weekend. Nice to come back to not that much instead of leaving it all for the return


    Can't catch up on 48 pages of the thread so I hope all of you are well this week. I'll have a little look back to see what I can make of what has happened.

    After a little look on FB I think Jinky needs a voddie/hug/smile or cry (I may be wrong) an dI hope you are ok hun

    My list is
    Re clean bathroom after dog has his bath
    Sweep and mop kitchen floor
    Sweep and mop bathroom floor
    Wash Dog blanket
    Spray mould stuff on tiles in bathroom and wipe over ceiling
    WM

    Right off for a catch up now and watch the rugby and a nice easy tea of pizza and coleslaw
    final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333

    Happy Birthday Jassa

    Well normal Saturday, pretty lazy so far. Cooked breakfast/lunch which has pretty much become the 'norm' for Saturdays here, then relaxing afternoon with DP and the boys until he goes to work. I did fill the DW and WM while I was cooking so a little done. Living room/dining room/hall has stayed tidy, so showing we can keep things tidy once it's done.

    We were supposed to be sorting the awning out, unfortunately it's poured down until about 5 minutes ago so will have to hope for sunshine tomorrow so we can get it sorted/packaged ready for it being collected to be altered.

    Tonight I need to

    Finish my presentation off, must remember to save it on a memory stick!
    Print off my speech thing
    Do some more of the kitchen
    Empty/refill the DW, WM and TD
    Pack some of my stuff for Sunday - see if I need to buy anything
    Find my gas straightners
    Find my laptop cable...
    Sort kids uniforms, PE and swimming kits ready for Monday

    Think that's most of it covered

    ((hugs for everyone)) x x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Well I'm awake again now and I have a migraine (triffic!!!) I knew it was coming on this morning but I was hoping it wouldn't develop properly. No such luck :( So two cocodamol and a cup if tea are being taken as I type.

    Anyway whilst I was snoozing Miss Tag has filled her boots big time:eek: She has made the kittens a living room on one of my shelves in the dining room.

    We have a sofa made from two plastic containers complete with padded seats and backs made out of my make up pads. A coffee table and lamp made from paper and sellotape. Also a little dinner table complete with plates and mugs.

    She has completed the look by using my anti slip mat thing as the flooring and a beautiful silver entrance curtain made from my paper clips. Ahh Bless!!!!

    I've taken a couple of piccies. I'll try and remember to upload them later on or tomorrow.

    I have no idea where she gets her creativity from but she is absolutley fab at making something out of nothing. (Her Dad would say she gets that from me!!)

    I think one of the best things she's ever done is too make a big butterfly out of a load of old scrunched up newspaper and sellotape that I was unpacking one day in the kitchen. It was brilliant.!!

    Right enough waffling from me suppose I'd better sort out the washing that's finished.


    ETA - Sorry been meaning to post this all day. Many Happy Returns Jassa !!!! xxxx

    Had a really mixed day today - DD had a wonderful first ever riding lesson on a gorgeous little 11.2 white Welsh Mountain Pony called Domi - needless to say she loved it.

    Got back only to discover Pip our Jack Russell not only opened the bag where DH stashed an Easter Egg which I guess was for me, but took the egg out, opened it up, opened the plastic, took off the foil and proceeded to eat the lot. It was a big 360g milk chocolate Dairy Milk one and as we speak she's in hospital on a drip thanks to chocolate poisoning; the vet made her sick and she brought a lot up, but her heart rate is very elevated so she'll be in all night. It'll cost in the region of £350 and I don't know if we're covered by insurance as it's not the first time she's done it :mad:.

    Where was DH when I took Pip and the kids in you may ask? Off with the f****** Explorers. He found the dog had eaten the chocolate, told me and that was it for him - all the responsibility was passed to me to deal with. All he could think of was Explorers. We had a blazing row in the middle of the front garden; I was swearing like a trooper in front of the kids but at the end of the day he had to take the Explorers to a competition and will probably be away all night. Feel so let down.

    So there you go, another whinge and I'm so sorry, but I can't help but feel I deserve better than this or am I being unreasonable.

    Hope you've all had a good day and Rose, Sandy and Lilo hope you're all OK.

    Hugs mumof2

    I've done nothing all day! Went shopping this morning and then popped over to my mate's house this afternoon with her birthday present. Since then I've been preparing a display for Monday but now I've decided that i don't think I've printed the words big enough so I need to check on Monday before I do anything else to them. I was also making a tree - or rather the kids were helping me but I was using straws for the branches and the paint won't stay on them so I don't know what else to use now.

    Please may I have all 5 stars - thank you xxx

    Well, here I am posting up at last. My house is 'almost' gleaming, but will be once the washing machine has caught up with me! I have had a manically busy day which involved organising a car boot sale, selling at a boot sale, and then come home and finishing off my flying! I was so determined to get it done today, as tomorrow I want my badly needed me time - preferably down at the beach!

    Hugs to all and hope everyone is well x
