    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Awww toots thank you for my birthday post, I feel all speshul now :D x

    Was chipping the ice from the freezer at 7.30 this morning, as you do, teenie didn't close it properly last night and half an iceberg formed *rolls eyes* the food is ok though. I've made 1, no, 2 brews, made my bed, put my washing away, remade the settee (cushions galore) opened the curtains, browned off some braising steak then bunged it in the SC with some onions and stuff, collected all the rubbish cos it's binday and will put it out shortly, put a towel over the chipped ice that flew on the floor (I'm so lazy) will scoop it up once i've emptied the WM so that and the others can go in, will do TD aswell, ooooh need to make my sarnie for work.

    It's new shower day today :j I've not had one for years, and I whiff a bit now

    Morning all

    Not a great nights sleep. Poor DS3 coughed a lot, I kept thinking he was about to upchuck all over me so was spring loaded ready to move. He's like a magnet when in bed with you and I couldn't roll him back like usual as that would have been on to his plastered arm. Amazing how small a kingsize bed is when you sleep on the edge of a 12" strip.

    He feels sick this morning and is still sad but being very good.

    Triker - you need to read post #406 (you'd think I could do those links by now wouldn't you)

    Dusty - I assume DS3 has got painkillers? Really hope the pain eases soon x

    I was just told to give him parrots and ibup but I wondering if that is not enough. He seems to have a high pain threshold but I think it is hurting a lot. Main worry is infection at the minute.

    Soappie
    - hope you feel better soon (being a nosey mare when you get a minute please fill me in by email or pm I haven't bothered you not cause I'm not interested but because I knew you'd be inundated)

    Molly - thanks for posting and I love your signature, one of my dear friends uses that phrase

    Mumoftwo - I hope your DS recovers soon

    Diva keeping everything crossed for today's op


    I've emptied the DW and the WM. I so need to get on with the flying today.

    I'll have a shower and s&s the bathroom/shower room and then try to decide where to start!

    Teenagers can sleep until I'm showered but then I think they can get up, I'm feeling mean (AF due here to at the weekend)

    Food shop being delivered this afternoon.

    Morning all,

    We've just had breakfast. Ds2 wants to see if he can use the touch pad on my laptop on cbeebies and then i'm going to make a start. The sun is shining again so if i can get the cover off the chair i can get it washed and on the line with my bedding and shower curtain.
