    Mumoffour77 - how gorgeous is Mark. You lucky lady. Well done to you. :j.

    I'm still a mum to 3 on ebay as it's so complicated to change details. Hooray another member of the 5 kids club :T:T

    Looking forward to the meet tomorrow. I have Sexymouse's phone no. so will be calling her when my train comes in. I'll be the one probably carrying a bright pink coat (if the weather is like today). I have various goodies raided from DH's freebies so I'll also have a large bag with all it all in.

    I would love to meet you all in York for the next meet as I have halfway between M'Hall and York so both suit me fine.

    You have a PM :D

    Mumoffour77 Awww Mark is gorgeous congratulations.

    Soappie I dont know how your neighbour didnt fall off it doesnt look steady at all.

    Next doors cat has turned up again last night and tonight. It appears to be living in their porch as the hardboard has been pulled off. Have had it in here and fed it. It looks cared for so Im not too worried about it.

    Have washed a couple of coats tonight and just hung them up.

    Online Gambling: I always use Betfair for my gambling, if you want to use them make sure you go through Quidco. Not the best offer on a the moment but better than nothing. Some ladies may remember the offer 2 years ago for £50 cashback and a £25 free bet! Now that was a good offer:D

    It was - and you pointed it out. I never bet and I won all of £28 - so £78 up thanks to you. You also mentioned the ING Direct one that gained me another £25 :A.

    MOFF - congratulations to you and your family. Lovely news.

    Lots of weeding and planting done here, green bin emptied and immediately re-filled. Lovely to be able to go back out and do more after dinner. House is obviously a tip again but the WM is on, and the DW, and I might just potter about with the dyson in the absense of anything more interesting to drink.

    Just placed a couple of bets on the Grand National. Any other ladies having a flutter?

    I remember that deal too - hubbie and I both openned up accounts. Don't remember who won what but it was fun. I guess there is nothing like that about this year. I'll let the kids have a look at the runners and riders tomorrow.

    DS3 has agreed to go back into his own bed so just waiting to see if he goes to sleep. I'm heading up for another early night myself as it was so nice to wake up this morning and not feel tired.

    Natty i'm glad it's nothing too serious.

    mumoffour he is just so cute.

    Such a baby boom going on, it's great.

    Hubby now got his own laptop.:j:j:j It took 2 hours to fine the place. Just need to sort mine out now.:D
    I've managed 12 hours sleep last night, an hour earlier and i'm gonna head to bed shortly. What is wrong with me??? Feel shathered all the time. I've so much to get on with but feel so tired just thinking about it.:(
    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.

    Hi All

    Went to gym, came home, hoovered, polished, cleaned leather seats in car, washed car, was 7.30 before I got sitting down to dinner (after MIL brought kids back) so not caught up yet.

    I have a bet every year on the Grand National, usually quite lucky, we get kids to stick a pin in the paper!!

    Pen Pen any rose for me???

    Mumof[STRIKE]four[/STRIKE]five Well done on baby Mark, Congratulations, I am so so so so so broody but DH says absolutely not, we broke a chicken bone the other week and I won and he said "you better not have wished for a baby" (long story involving shooting stars and IVF) :rotfl:
