Hellooooooooooooooooooooo

Have you missed me?? LOL

Ive been AWOL (AGAIN!!!) for what seems like months!! Kids have been off school and go back tomorrow :j:j(cant flippin wait). Had a stressie few weeks and lost the plot completely. I walked out of my job afew weeks ago and didnt have a job to go to so been abit of a silly girl but Ive managed to get myself a part time job for 16 hours a week which suits me and my children down to the ground and I started today and I love it (only working in a lovely country pub but its great!) Sunday evening, Tuesday and Thursday. No more stressing about working 50 plus hours a week (was only contracted to 30 hours but seemed to get put on more and more and no matter how much I complained the boss always put me on a guilt trip even though I had the kids at home!) Anyway enough of my ramblings,,,,, Im in again please Toots although im away on holiday from Friday till Monday but I will be done by Thursday lunch time as my friend is coming Thursday evening and we are off early on Friday morning and as she has a whirlwind toddler so the house needs to be done!

WM is on as we speak so I can hang it out tomorrow morning (im hoping its the start of no dryer season!) kids packed lunches are all done, school uniforms ironed, dishes washed and put away woohooo im on a roll just hope I dont crash and burn.

Massive HUGZ to all

Hello everyone!!! Hands up who missed me sorry been very much out of the loop for a few weeks, where we were away there was no BB signal at all so a very quiet 11 days but I did miss you all and flew lots.....all be it in the caravan. Came home Thursday evening and been manically busy since catching up with laundry and trying to straighten the house out a bit as it's a tip. We had issues with the chameleons tank which ended up needing rebuilding so been chaos. DS2 enjoyed another cubs camp but was a 100+ mile round trip so that kept me busy Friday and Sunday. We did have a wander round Whitby abbey today and some wonderful fish and chips to compensate.

Well tomorrow DS2 starts his new school, he seemed keen initially but some tears tonight, he spent the weekend with kids from his old school so part of it plus exhaustion. See how it goes I suppose, he is staying at same cubs to keep that link with the other kids.

Anyway I'll be in next week aswell as catching up on studying lacking behind again. Got LOTS of laundry to do especially as DS2s just soaked his bed so will be Twanky week!

(((hugs))) for you all, thanks for the lovely messages on Facebook, nice to know you're thought of x x x

I missed you.. in fact I was thinking about you only yesterday and I had assumed you had sneaked off in your caravan for a bit of peace..

Now... are we going to be dehovelling the house???

As for Twanky week... I found a big handbag full of dirty underwear in DD1's room.. she is under instruction to get them in the wash in the morning or she will be handwashing them all! It was most unpleasant.. apparently she didn't want me to wash them! Honestly!! It isn't like I have never seen dirty pants before or never had AF visit!! Dozy child!!

Nest time for me I think.. have to be up in 6 hours.

School pics tomorrow so I need to make sure the children are all dressed sensible, without stains and with faces washed and hair brused!!

Morning lovely flyladies,

Yes, the purple is back! Can't promise to post every day yet but will try.

Sunnyday - Hope you have a super day!
Toots - I never lift my dahlias - I do lose a few now and again but I like buying new things so that is never a hardship! And I grow lilies in tubs, I have about six different varieties, can bore you with last years pics if you like.. They are so easy to grow and smell divine.
Jinkypinks -
LadyL - Glad you had a lovely birthday and that all my bits got there!
Boddy -
Soappie - Beesands is not too far from me. We are very lucky down here and we have just had 15 days of non stop sunshine though I spent the first week in hospital and the second at home recouperating and not able to go outside yet!! I am missing my garden desperately.
pigpen - sorry to hear about your uncle
Sexymouse - lovely dress and big congratulations!
fedup - big hugs hon, try not to let him get to you

Still in pain and feeling nauseas and occasionally throwing up (sorry if you are having breakfast) but I do have a break from the heartburn now and again which is fab and I do feel better than I did. I need to try and get back to normal. My head is full of cotton wool but this too shall pass.

Hope everyone has a good day. With love, light and

So my list today is:

• Make sandwiches for OH lunch
• Answer/clear 30 mins of emails twice
• feed tadpoles (three of them have all four legs now and are starting to lose their tails)
• Brush the cat when she gets on the bed next to me.
• Remind OH to defrost some ham.

Short and sweet I am afraid!
Hope anyone feeling poorly feels better today, and all again for your thoughts and pms and messages, I am so touched.

Good morning

Nice to see you posting, dreamy and diva. Hope things get better for both of you.

WM on, breakfast partially decluttered and cuppa made, so I'm ready to work until 7am now, when it's time to get DSs up. Hope everyone has a good start to the week.
