    Have you long enough to do your 3-bird roast?

    Just watched the National - brought back memories of DD's due date 17 years ago when the race was declared void :eek: Thought we were going to have a repeat of that :o I got a 3rd and DD got a 4th and 5th. Shame I didn;t get around to actually putting any money on ................

    Going to do a HHC 16:45 - 17:15 then settle down with my stitching :j

    Oh Pen I remeber that one - 1993 - I was PG and I ran the office sweep.

    I am glad I signed up with a quidco bet offer cause all ours failed! By the time I had minimum betted and each-wayed them all I spent the £20 I will get in cashback but at least it hasn't cost me!

    I have done LOTS of ironing and I have cleaned my kitchen:T

    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!

    You are joking - it's only April.
    At least May before we can assume spring is staying.

    Back from a super day, but I'm shattered and just decided that beans on toast will take less concentration than making an omelette. :o

    I have... a square of floor in my bedpit... I donated a comouter case to my dad.. memory transfered to DS2's PC and in return we get a new DVD drive and a graphics card.. :D.. I have a half filled binbag of rubbish and a half filled binbag for charity shop..

    DD3 has a drawer full of new clothes and other than polo shirts is sorted for school in September. I got stuck under the bed finding the stacking boxes with them in.

    The 'too big' school stuff is in the emptied stacking box under the bed for next year and the 'too small' stuff is up for grabs on the flylady discussion on FB..

    I found a few baby bits.. and a full pack of knickers.

    I have about 10 tiny bras from DD1 (28A).. do I bother keeping for DD3.. who is probably not ever going to need them or do I fling them?

    I have tummy ache from all the bending and lifting now so am reluctant to do more.. but the room really doesn't look any different!

    Just yourself. It's all under control.... just nipped out to Mr T for the last few snagging bits. It's a bit like ready steady cook this!

    Oh - and you can't miss the house, it's the one next door to the daft old fart with the ladder outside :rotfl:

    have a great night ladies, I am jealous!

    I have dysoned through despite DH's instructions, and done most of my other jobs :) WM can go on again when I go out and hopefully by the time I get home this morning's washing will be dry.
