    Hello everyone.

    My first time too of joining in the daily post, so please bear with me.

    Like Jockettuk, we're having our fence done today! It's very wet here in Devon so I hope it can be done. We're moving house next Friday and it's a condition of the sale that it's mended.

    Once fence man gets here and I give him my neighbour's keys, we're packing boxes, off to new house to collect something, then I might take the kids for an ice cream. Not very money saving, but we haven't had a holiday, so they like their little treats.

    I hope everyone commuting has a better day, and I'll catch up later.

    Morning all,

    Very quick one today.

    Still got our house guest, what was supposed to be a overnight stay on Monday has now turned into 5 nights:eek: I'm not going to complain too much as O/H doesn't see his mate enough and its good for them to catch up.

    Must go breakfasts to make, hugs to all, will try and pop back later

    Take care

    Good Morning All

    Welcome to Anniebooklover and Madmel.

    Just sitting here having a cup of strong coffee so can get motivated to clean the house from top to bottom today. In a strangeway am looking forward to it as havnt done housework properly since the holidays started!:eek:

    When OH gets up he really needs to do the garden in time for our party saturday but the weather forcast wont let him me thinks.

    Also have a couple more loads of washing to do which suddenly appeared so really need to get on. Hopefully will be able to come on here later but now off to dust off the dyson before I can start.

    On by the way Frugaljo - if your oven shelves are dirty soak then in a soda crystals solution in the bath for a few hours and the dirt will then just wipe off. I actually have gleaming oven shelves in my oven here which I dont think was ever cleaned before we moved in (cant wait to renew it).

    Have a good day all.

    Good morning everyone
    I'm working at my school job today, so no naughty phone calls for me today!
    DD has an interview, so I'm giving her a lift to that when I finish & looking after DGS while she is there.
    It's Reading festival this weekend so no doubt DSS will pop in to see us in the hopes of us paying for his ticket, I think I can see the piggies flying past my window as we speak!
    Not much esle going on here, though my DS who is 19 had a friend killed in an accident over the weekend, this is the 2nd horrible thing to happen to a friend of his in a year, so he is understandably upset.
    Hugs to all.
    Hester

    woohoo page one today :j thank god too caues i've got to go to w*rk :(

    morning all

    not really got anything os planned for today, did my load of washing for this week and it's drying on the horse in the living room (it scares me how many loads some of you with kids do!), bed made and bag mostly packed, so away to make brekkie. just thought i'd get an early start on this usually huge before i get up thread!

    well like i say off to w*rk today, gonna see if i can keep my phone in my pocket incase i get 'the call', the manager type thats in today is really nice and i imagine would say yes, tho i won't be telling her why unless i get it!

    then i'm off to the gym followed by a pub quiz with friends, not sure what use i'll be these days unless they ask about baking your own bread, home cooking or stardrops!

    well i better scoot and get the kettle on, hope you all have a good day and big squishy hugs to those who dont!

    Used up the last of the fruit today that would have been chucked for a nice fruit salad to take to work. As we didn't have any oranges I put a little juice over the top to soften everything.

    Unfortunately container burst in the carrier bag covering everything in fruit salad juice (all my sukudo books and reports!). Curse my reused chinese takeaway dishes.

    Had to throw the bag away because it was so sticky - I could have washed it but it was a freebie and far from ideal to take to work (freebie advertising the local grunge nightclub on it).

    So I've had a mixed start to the morning!

  • Morning all :hello:

    Even though I'm a newbie I decided not to post after a couple of days as to be honest my head wasn't in the right place. It seemed that I was full of good intentions but would never get anything done.

    Yesterday however I sat in w**k and took a good hard look at myself and thought if anyone else looked at my life they would say we were doing more than alright. So taking the bull by the horns I went home last night and wrote a massive to do list (has about 150 things on) and put achievable deadlines next to each task. :T

    Woke up this morning feeling better than I have done in ages and feel this could be the start of me getting my life and my head back on track.

    :grouphug: Hugs to all that need them :grouphug:
