Vanilla.. I'm broke too.. 4 chests of drawers saw to that! but I WILL have pretty matching pink chests of drawers in the girls rooms AND.. they will have to have a clothing cull (I'll send left overs to KH's .. FLING.. ) He can share in my clothing misery lol Cheeky pheasant pluckers son said DD3 had to take more clohes there.. I told her to tell him he had to buy her new ones and not be so tight.. after all.. he bought some for DD1.. She loved that idea! One day in the very distant future I may even get their room painted!

Small things thrust into bed..

One of DD1's cacti looks like Shreks testicles.. use your imagination ladies!!

OH has put the shelves back up in DD1's room and they look faberooney.. just need to fling books back on them and reclaim the table on the landing.. apparently estimated delivery date on her bed is the 28th.. so I'll be doing crappet and bed erections then..

I need to clean and fling.. this is going to be a VERY long night!

Soappie.. I refuse to be down-graded to the Arms.. it is like Saturday night on the Witham.. (think dregs of humanity on a night out on the pull.. & lower the tone)

sorry to hear that xxxx

I was going to post you a vodka but you cant drink that now:p;):cool:

I'll drink that, I'm in dire need. In fact make it a large one

No change with my Nan she hasn't drunk a drop of water for 2 days. I'm on terrible nights sleep alert again.

Sh1tea day. Lock on front door has broken and can't be shut let alone locked. I've been out nearly all day and the door has been open and chained, all the neighbours have texted me - considerate of them but annoying too by the time the 10th one came in.

Warned big uns under pain of not going to football to tidy their pits. I was ignored by them but DH overruled me and said I couldn't dish out that punishment:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:. Nothing upsets me more that when he undermines my discipline. I sat in the utility room on the floor and cried. He must have felt guilty because he sent them in to apologise to me as he was revving the car up. He is never here to deal with all the poop and comes in at the 11th hour and rewards their bad behaviour with a trip to football.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Evening all

Not a whole lot of flying going on with you lot - Toots will be very cross with you all getting so excited about being on a different board - you Soappie are one of the worst offenders!

Piggers hope your Mum is ok, was it one of her other brothers who passed last year?

Crafty - how did you get on with your pc?

Polly was your DS pleased with his car or did he not notice your spring clean?

Dinner done, just going to tidy up
Need to get the last two towels off the line and put the recycling out for tomorow.

First coat of fake tan applied to my pins
Strawberry patch one and veg patch one all tidied along with rose bed one.
No 2 of each to be done later in the week.

This evening I will be soaking my feet and watching newsnight as I think one of our councillors maybe on for a minute or so.

Triker

I know that I need to put some stuff on ebay.

I intend to put some stuff on ebay.

Putting stuff on ebay will make my life much better by getting rid of clutter and also making some money.

I'll probably do it in a few days.;) Mebbe.

Anyone know what I should do with 24 eggs that I got cheep <---- GEDDIT

Marru - don't even try and keep up with the thread as it drives you mad (or in my case madder! How many piggies do you have? My daughter has two and I lurveeee them!

Flying - decluttered the dogs bowels and picked up! Checked the greenhouse - some more leeks have come through! xx

Huge hugs Mumto5 xxx

The best thing you can do is tell yourself to sleep when you go to bed. After all the phone will ring and wake you if necessary.

And go put your feet up this evening and do nowt - that's an order!

The door lock is a priority so needs to be fixed tomorrow xxx
