    Mrs B - nice of you to join us :p


    Nice of you to notice, no-one else did *sniffs and blows nose noisily*

    floated about yesterday, bit of WM & TD some gardening... made "ifit's" in the slow cooker, watched BGT with the kids & OH snuggled up on our bed, all very civilised with no arguing. For what must be the first time ever I actually enjoyed ALL my kids company at the same time, because I didnt have to moan!!!

    I OUGHT to do a little ironing, a little hoovering and a little dusting today... we shall see!

    muchous loveous!

    Well, to recap so far, are you sitting comfortably :) there are these 3 blokes, who all want to be in charge. So they asked every adult in the country to pick, and we couldn't :( So they've spent 4 days, with their chums, in smoke-less rooms trying to decide. They're meanies really, and won;t tell anyone what's going on, so the Journos need to keep making stuff up to sell papers. Are you zzzzzzzzzzzzzz yet :D

    Plus telling everyone that they are acting purely in our interests with no thought for themselves.
    (Plus one group suspect that leaving the others to clear up the mess while they sort themselves out might be a better plan)

    I'm not hooked on news24, but I have been tracking news bulletins on the radio - so no you are not the only interested one.


    I am glad its not only me that is watching this was up all night thursday with DS being sick so we sat on the sofa and watched untill 5am and have been checking news for updates Lets hope by taking their time they are going to make the right decision.........however I somehow doubt it!


    So my shortened excuse for a list today is:
    • Try and eat twice today and keep it down.
    head%20cold.gif Hope anyone feeling poorly feels better today.

    I do hope you manage to hun little and often is sometimes the easier way to go (((((((((hugs)))))))))) hope you are feeling better soon.







    Thanks hun,

    He is getting better especially since we started the makaton but it gets frustrating for him and have probably made things worse for myself by letting him away with more than i should of.
