Morning everyone.

Its a beautiful day here and I know its spring because the cat chooses to go out and not huddle under a radiator.

Kitchen S&Sed
Bathroom S&Sed
Living room tidied and hoovered.
Curry made.

I need to pop to the shops and hope to get out for a good walk this afternoon. Will get in the garden tomorrow and sort that.

nuttyrockeress Sending good vibes for you.
Hugs for everyone specially Toots, Lady L and Diva.

Have a good meet everyone.

Good idea Batman...:T

Rightio, for all those interested in the YORK MEET, please can you tell me preferred days...looking like a weekday may be best...so far we have have had thursday or not thursday :rotfl:, would in the next fortnight or three weeks be ok, does this give people time to organise themselves?


This time we'll wear identifying pins/badges or something so we don't miss each other.

Everyone can just have my mobile number if you like? Half the world has it already so what the heck!

We'll be easy to find anyway.. I'm the cripple in the wheelchair and Triker is the cripple pushing me.. though I might be on the floor where she pushed me out!

In 2-3 weeks will be better.. other than Fridays, I can do any day then. It is just this thursday I can't do as I'm back at hospital for a pic of Squeaks spine.. providing we are playing nice lol.

All washing done and up to date including the throw the cat sicked up on this morning :mad: yuck!!!

So, I'm going to reward myself with an afternoon in the garden potting up the bedding plants I bought a few weeks ago and have been hiding from Mr Frosty - then pray that spring is finally here in the far north!


I think I might have earned some stars in there Toots! Not sure how many though..... If nothing else, having a smaller house certainly makes all this much, much easier and quicker!!!

with my heart in my mouth I have signed up to a bet site for today - this IS moneysaving as I now don't have to drive to the turf accountants (when I was a kid I thought they sold rolled up turf - for lawns - honestly!) and means our bets are free!

Still not dressed.....

BUT

The Wm is on....so is the TD (babies clothes come out so mch softer...and I know that its alowed)
Kitchen is Clean!!!! Bottles are all done!! so are the shots (non alcoholic...the wee tommy tippee shots that you measure the babies milk into so that you just tip it into the babies bottle when he is ready for his feed Dead handy)
Utility room well all clothes are folded and it looks as if order has been restored!

I pay my cousin (who is 17) to take a black bag of ironing every few days!! Its wonderful...not really cost effective but it gives me so much time to do other things!! Plus she is a wee student who was looking for part time work that she could do but needed to work in with her studies!! So she is also going to babysit tonight for me Her and her friend (they are both lovely girls).......First time leaving munchkin...and im so worried (although her mum said she would look in and can be here in 5 mins!!)

washing machine is full of babies clothes so my bed will have to wait for another hour or so...........Pigpen I know you have 2 washing machines do you think i should get another one? The washing never stops here!! And i find myself putting it on from 4am (when the baby gets fed)

Weekends i have the boys fully and DH works odd hours. Sorry i'm not much use am i .

Thanks Triker - I'll look at my diary later when I do a HHP

Been in the garden - weeding and edging. I'm considering opening it :eek: in aid of NSPCC (our town opens several every year) so am trying to decide if I can get it into shape, before I commit myself
