    OOOOhhhh, make a cake,:rotfl: I don't make cakes,:o I don't really like cake, this is going to be fun!!!.:D:rotfl::rotfl:

    I have eggs, flour, butter, sugar and milk, so I guess they will do, I have several unopened for ages cookery books, must be a cake recipe in one of them, an oven, but no cake baking case / tray things............Mrt's is open, so I could go and buy one, but on the other hand once I have made said cake, who is going to eat it??? :rotfl::rotfl:

    But then again OH is home from his overnight work now, so I could just go and cuddle up with him in bed.........:o:o:o:o

    No contest really.................see you late folks, happy make making......

    morning all
    I did try to post last night but DS spotted what I was typing.
    His friend has told him his ex GF has split with the lad sh took up with shortly after dumping DS, who, some of you may recall was devastated (young love *rolleyes*) and DS has admitted he still misses her. He went on FB and she accepted him and they were chatting...
    nothing aginst him/them BUT not NOW not in the middle of GCSes...

    apols for typos am on laptop

    PS it's her birthday today so almost a year since they split. She's only 15...
    He says he will nott be asking me for advice...can't think why *shrug* :rotfl:

    ETA Many thanks to the Excetive Committee and Flylady Central Command!

    I'm in again - thanks to all at flylady central command!

    OH already moaning about the state of the house ...but he has been out playing cricket/going to the pub for the last 2 days! In fact yesterdays cricket socks are still on the lounge floor:mad::mad:.

    I have stripped our bed and put away piles of ironing from yesterday and brought in the recycling boxes already today.

    Hoping to survive the bank holiday! Hugs/positive vibes to all who need them!

    As it's not a Bank Holiday here - I'm going to try and do a newbie version of Level One. So, I've looked back at previous threads for some inspiration.
    So far - I have 'done the bathroom, emptied dishwasher, emptied washing machine and hung up laundry and done a little bit of ironing.

    My plan is to work on the 'floors' and then see how I go from there!

    Kitchen floor
    Bathroom floor
    Living room floor
    Hall floor
    DS floor
    Bedroom floor

    I'm in again this week & will hopefully manage more than I did last week.

    Had all 3 boys away at Nana's over the weekend :j so it's been very, very quiet, restful, quiet, peaceful, (did I mention it's been quiet?):j

    We've been eating out, gone to the gym together and spent rather a decent amount of time in bed :D

    It's been lovely, if not a bit strange without the noisy little darlings :cool:

    Will pick them up later (not sure when though....) Oh, and we had a pact not to mention the boys at all whilst they were away...it was to be adult conversation only...I managed it no problem....OH cracked on Saturday - what a wimp! :rotfl:

  • Just made a must do list for today, hoping that BA gets us where we need to be later this evening -just me and DS sadly as DH has to work.

    Right - WM x 2 so far, one lot on the line but weather very grey..:(

    OK - HHC anyone?

    I'm going to remake two beds, round up rest of washing, S & S upstairs bathroom and set lunch going in the slowcooker

    see you in 30 or so

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
