Glad she was happier this morning.. I'd rather gnaw off my limbs than do history! lol

baby washing all out on the line

Still only got half the patio area cleaned BUT I have weeded and repotted the planters and filled a wheelie bin and watered the rabbits (oops!!) Need to get through the other half outside but I am almost dead now!! It is so disgustingly hot out there!!

Having a cuppa and a browse through the Lakeland catalogue that arrived this morning.. looks rubbish so far!

OH sorted the DW

I will put both WM's on a clean cycle in a bit... when I am cooler!

Re DD2 and her long time mate whose mum is a long time mate of mine - we have often moaned about how different they are to their siblings - anyway mates mum coined the description that they were born in 'the chinese year of the awkward child!'

It still applies in both houses!

I joined Tesco Diets to try and lose this stone I have gained over the last few years (10yrs really!) and I've lost 3lbs this week. Need to try and stay motivated and keep it going to get to the target weight (in my dreams this weight I am!)

I have eaten a load of fruit this week like I used to do and it reminded me of this and drinking much more water too - habits I have stopped recently.

Feel good about all of this and hoping in 8 weeks time I can reach the target weight, or at least be close to it!

Off out now - better take the dog for a trot out in this heat!

What are all your thoughts on this necklace please???

I have been to the shop, got rid of dead flowers and put new ones in vases, and cleaned all the leaves that fell off the old ones and put all rubbish in the bin.....is it too early for a drink now??????

Okay important notice.
I'm going to the polish and asian food stores this weekend. Is there anything anyone wants me to get them. I would be able to post them off on Monday.

.

ooh, I thought, she's keen, polishing her Asian food stores..I was imagining gleaming rows of spice jars...

I have cleaned my room and ironed all todays washing *glow*
(what a chore ;););))

I went to pick up DS from school post-exam, as per text at lunchtime, to get to school to see no sign - missed message telling me not to bother:mad: and I had taken him an ice lolly in a cool pack - so I ate it;). Still I went via PO as the lady has paid.

Evening all

What a week! Won't bother you with the details, but I've had better. Last night was lovely, though. DS2 and I spent more than two hours outside, planting and watering and just pottering about. I could really do with tackling the shed tonight, so I can scrub the table and chairs, but I keep thinking of these eight-legged fiends inside. :eek:
DH is still at work, DS1 at the cinema celebrating the first two exams completed this week. I've had a few days without internet, so I think I'd better update my list. I've started dot-to-dotting, and it's making a (small) difference.
OK. List, then outside with a cuppa for a potter, tea for DH , assemble laundry and possibly some more time outside with a glass of rose (note to self: must chill bottle).

I've got no chance of catching up with the thread, so I hope everyone's ok.

Very quiet here this evening........making the most of the weather I expect, BUT.......HELP..... I have a quesion for the gardeners here.....watered my mothers plants on Wednesday(they are in the shed(some covered with plastic, clear lid things(???)) and I was supposed to water them again today but forgot....will they be ok till tomorrow or should I go over now....not far, I will have to walk and take DD with me....HELP don't want to kill her plants as when I'm away she(or my step dad) comes over twice a day to feed the dog and sort him out.....

tooch, I love the necklace. Not a fan of fuss or detail but I approve.
I have watered every day this week, if you gave them a good soak then you should be ok in the morning, if you did a light drizzle then who knows? If in doubt, water.

I'd go now; it's been scorchio and my polytunnel plants need watering twice a day :eek:
