    Morning :hello:

    I'm still in a bad mood and I've got nothing constructive to say :rolleyes:

    Except - anyone renting out a flat? Or a bedsit? Or even a shed? I'll even take the space underneath decking. As long as there are NO TEENAGERS around I'll live anywhere :rolleyes: :D

    VEry quick post as I want to say hello to you churchmouse before you go to do the house work 36_1_39.gif

    Ageandjo - awfull that the HA hadn't replied properly to the question. No wonder you and OH are arguing - you're both under so much stress.

    Aussie lass - glad you got the generator

    Troo - I'm with you on the teenager thing. Mine means well but... he's trying to 'help' with the gardening, but he keeps doing things that make it take twice as long (he's 16, very academic, very little common sense :D)

    Ok, seem to have a prob with the pc this morning. I'll come back later to post properly if I can - back in the garden today :D

    Good morning All

    Hugs if you need them.

    Plan for the day is nappies to be pegged out in a minute and then another couple of loads in the WM. Off to Aldi via the park and then to see my mums best friend for a visit she hasnt seen dd for months. I need to work out something for tea as DH has started Slimming world and rather naffed up my meal plans. This afternoon need to tackle the ironing pile while dd is asleep.

    Have a good day everyone

    morning everyone.

    I am a bit chirpier today. After all,how can i not be when my gorgeous new furniture will be arriving, :T and the car only cost £80 last night.

    I had a good long chat with DH. He knows hes going to have to have words with his boss and not load up his car to high heavens, as basically this was what he was doing and this is why the car was severely broken. We have sorted out where the holiday spends are coming from. (He's taking it from works petty cash as it is money his boss owes him for stuff he bought on his behalf)

    so life seems a bit rosier.

    we seem to have a poorly cat this morning. they are eating adult food, as they are nearly 1, but i don't think it is agreeing with their little tummies. Hasn't put them off going out to explore the garden though, as they didn't last night with the rain.

    One load completed through the WM this morning. I just need to hang it up, and then i think i may have to spend some quality me time, as i won't be able to knuckle down to anything major because of the delivery. ;) A book or magazine reading sesh i think. DH forgot to ask a delivery time (again), so i feel i am perfectly justified in spending my day like this. :rotfl:

    have a nice day, and i'll be back later to see what you are all doing.

    Michelle, xx

    Troo I know exactly what you mean. We've just put our house up for sale as we're so fed up of all the teenagers round here. They sit on our wall outside, and make loads of noise til 11/12 at night. Kind of a problem when you have to get up before 6 for work :mad:

    Also, one of them has just bought his first car, so all his mates come round in their cars and it's like some sort of rally :confused: He revs it until really late too.

    In fact, we're so fed up of them that we're looking for a house in the middle of nowhere now where we will be pretty far from out nearest neighbours :eek:

    I'd just like to say that you are all fantastic, up so early with so much done. I love reading what you will eat for lunch and dinner too. Thanks for your inspiration and motivation everyone. By the way does anyone know where the avatars have gone??

    Morning all

    ((((((((((((((((((ageandjo))))))))))))))

    Troo - can you find room for me too, we could share the rent? :D

    Lisa - just do what I do, I use the clippers on DS and tell DD that little girls don't get their hair cut :D

    Jockett - Good luck with the move today.

    It's wild and windy out there today so I am quite glad I've got nothing planned, I've just put the dishwasher on, first time it's been on in 3 days :)

    Last nights meal out was lovely - we had a three course meal with 2 rounds of drinks, We had a huge combo starter, DH had a mixed grill, I had a sirloin steak, then we had the dessert to share, it was served in a huge glass bowl with 2 spoons, 1 slice of chocolate fudge cake, vanilla icecream, profiteroles, chocolate sauce, flakes, maltesers and whipped cream, DD had a mini meal with icecream - we had a BOGOF voucher for the main meals and £25 leisure vouchers from Pigsback so a meal that totalled £46 only cost us £10 in actual cash :D

    Nothing much planned for today as it's so horrid but DS came home from scout camp last night, very hoarse from singing, black with dirt but he'd had a brilliant time. So it's loading the washing machine with all his kit today.

    Morning everyone!

    I am up, washed, dressed to my shoes, the washing is on the line and the bread is just out of the breadmaker.

    DS and two of his pals had a sleepover last night. I had to tell them to go to sleep because I wanted to sleep - this was about 11.45pm! They are up and bouncing again this morning,but I bet they will be tired by about 3pm this afternoon, he he! DS is off to dad's at 3.30 this afternoon so I can set off to drive to Wales to be with my dearest OH for a few days.

    Today I need to do some more Flyladying on the clutter. I have a lady coming to pick up a load of books I advertised on Freecycle. That should help with the de-cluttering. I need to take out one or two that OH didn't want to give away before the lady comes.

    Right, off to clean out guinea pigs and do the watering in the garden whilst it is still lovely and sunny!

    Have a good day everyone!
