    Morning all you lovely ladies (and gents)

    get dressed
    look in kitchen cupboards
    menu plan for the week
    write shopping list
    WM
    go shopping
    put shopping away

    that'll do for now! back later:j:j:j:j:j:j

    What i've done.
    Feed Rhys
    clean car out (that could take awhile)
    chase kids back outside:rotfl:


    What next.
    Hubby now washing the car, then i'll hoover and wash the inside.
    More washing to change over
    Dust livingroom
    Hoover livingroom
    Clean inside and out of livingroom windows
    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.

    1. Pigpen, Oh and family--- please do not make annouancments of such wonderful news when I am busy :rotfl::rotfl: I wish you all the best and hope everything goes well for you.

    2. Mum of 4 or 5--- the same to you, please do not post about your lovely baby when I am busy, I wish you and your family also all the best.

    3. Hugs to all those who are ill or in need of a hug.

    4. Pen pen I thought about opening my garden once, for the yellow book scheme, for all of 5 mins, then said no, far too much work, but I did support the other people who did, (I made cakes)

    5. All lists are done, they took OH and I about 4 hours in total.:T:j:T:j

    As a reward he has been allowed t ogo out on his motorbike, and is heading to Stratford on Avon.

    Car is packed and ready for a 5am :eek:start at MK car boot :D

    All out on the line in the sun drying well.

    Now I can move in the garage, I am going to sweep the floor and tidy round out there.

    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)

    If you think it will save you time and you canafford it.. go for it!!

    I had 2 washing machines from having 5 children as I never had any clean clothes.. by the time it came to my stuff nappies and baby stuff had to go in again!

    As an alternative do you have room for one of the huge American style top loaders? That might be a better option?!

    Huge Congrats Mumoffour77....he is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

    DH making lunch then we're going in the garden to do more clearing of the old shed and preparing the ground for the new shed. The new shed has been sat there since August waiting for this to be done so when DH booked a day off for yesterday to spend some time with us I told him that I would not go out for the day but was going to get on clearing the garden while the weather was good. He tried to put it off (again) but I put my foot down. So we've made quite a bit of headway yesterday but still lots more to do.

    Best hop to it.....

    Well, been out shopping and got some bargain luxury bedding at the local HofF (thanks for the tip Sexy!). TWO sets of duvet covers, sheets and pillow cases. They are in the washing machine at the moment.

    Frodders and JJ and Greenbee, apologies. I've lost Frodder's mobile number. And having made an exhaustive search of likely hostelries I've not found one that takes my fancy. So, to apologise for being such a mardy grumpy old woman, I have an offer.

    If you fancy heading just a little bit further west this evening, you're more than welcome to come to mine and I'll rustle up something delicious with chicken and salad (and a non meat alternative if any of you are veggie) xxx
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    thanks, I will look though I don't think there are many down here! I need to remeasure my curtains as my measurements don't match any of the options!!!
    What about a blackout blind and keep the curtains? next do them.
    It's an old church, so has a touch of that left, but I'm a confirmed atheist and don;t mind it at all :)
    If you've been confirmed its a step in the right direction :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
