    Should we all have a mutual shove, like dominoes?

    ive just boiled myself and put a bagel in the toaster. (cinnamon and Raisin)

    ive been reasonably productive this morning - couple of loaves taken round mils (no sign of movement so left them on the milkcrate - it was 7.30) bag of old clothes down the clothes bank and a mag picked up from the papershop. middle DD went to work at 6.15 youngest DD is just getting ready, eldest DS slept over a friends as hes going alton towers today so it'll just be me and youngest DS for the day. have got a freind of eldest DS sleeping round tonight as his parents are away but youngest can amuse him till eldest gets back

    toaster and kettle have clicked im off for breakfast

    Shaz - I totally agree with Mrs Moneypenney; if you want to sit on the computer all day, then do just that! You deserve it and, after what has been a very stressful time, it will do you the world of good. I love the idea that the boys are in a place where they'll be supported - it means that you can relax without having to worry about them all the time. Have a great day!

    Hello ladies - thats it you have put me all to shame - the list of jobs had 2 jobs ticked off yesterday and nothing but kitchen cleared this morning

    Mrs m - have you peaked too early ???? its funny when you get days like that - I get a mass flurry and then spend the rest of the day pooped

    Neighbour has been round for a coffee (thats put me off to start with!)
    Great minds think alike - I too am planning an hours ironing at some stage and possibly the windows today

    love to all and will catch up later
    ps sock-knitter - big hugs this morning and yes I agree stay in your jammies and splodge today and as for bagels plain or onion are nice as are seasame seed in fact all are nice oh with the exception of the whole grain ones dont do too much nutty bits! xxx (I thought of something cheeky we could officially name it "Bagel and bu****g about Day" tee hee me like that idea xxxx

  • Phew! You are all careering about early arent you ;0)

    Jacqui - no I wont ask for 4ply - I was thinking gents 60" chest, v neck jumpers in white 2ply ??????? Think I will ask for 500 of those - how many do you think I will get ;0) I have a pattern ;0)

    Diana - I came over this morning to see about your wee problem with the gown but I see the girls over here are just as good at sorting out problems as the LH lot are ;0) Good job you have it sorted we need loads of prem and burial items all of the time - tiny gowns and bonnets, angel pockets, blankets, cribs - with so many hospitals and groups like Cuddles and Sands crying out for what we are making I could fill and send huge boxes every day providing enough has come in ;0) - Oh and while I remember - please don't 'BOIL yourself' as you said in the previous message - you are meant to boil the water ;0)

    Shaz - I will look forward to your next box when you get it filled. Inviting the boyfriend over when he gets home next time sounds like a great idea to me - no boys getting in the road - your next 'smiley' will be a wee devil not an angel ;0) You will get used to having all that peace and quiet - and the girls are right - they always come back to get fed and get washing done etc. My lot are here as much as they are in their own houses and most of them are between 36 and 23 now - it should only be the two young ones getting underfoot nowadays ;0)
