    Morning

    Juliejim - thank you for the birthday wishes - needless to say I'm not doing much flying today! In fact I must be on my way to an award for signing up and getting very little done!

    Today I'm going to enjoy a bit of peace now the kids have gone back to school and eat a lot of chocolate:D The place is a tip after half term but it can all wait until tomorrow!

    Hope everybody has a good day :j.

    Our friends have gone now. We had a lovely time, but I'd forgotten what hard work a 1yo is :eek: DD (and DS ;) ) loved spending time with him, but neither of them want one of their own just yet :T We left the dining room last night and shut the door, so I'll just finish catching up, and then tidy that :) ETA - just seen that it's the dinig room today woohoo1.gif

    Welcome, and how impressed I am that you are interested in old style, I hope your girlfriend appreciates what she's got!

    Maybe it's the CAB training (non judgemental and not making assumptions) but did Kevie say his partner was a girl ............

    Lamewolf - thanks, yes DH will do the heavy stuff! I find that mentioning I might do something whilst he's out means it magically gets done! (hope he's not reading this!). I do usually keep a note of what's in the freezer, it's just all a mess at the moment and there is some stuff in there like yellow stickered fish that has been there about a year and frankly needs binning.

    Mr S shop done with £10 off code, lots of heavy tins and bottles of pop ordered (I always get them to bring it upstairs to the kitchen!) :D and some non bio washing stuff that's on offer that will do for baby stuff. I found the Mr S site a lot easier than Mr T so might use them in future if it all arrives!

    Morning all

    Virgin have been and upgraded the box.

    Spoken to letting agent and they and the 'gardener' will meet me at 12:00 today to discuss the damage. I have also informed the council of what they have done so they can sort that out too.

    10:30 HHC to get my dailies done and a mad tidy up.

    I'm in again.
    Was really pleased to see kitchen on a day I'm off work as it needs blitzing...so promptly started on the dining room this morning!
    Ah well, not sure how well everything will get done today anyway, one of the lenses fell out of my glasses this morning, so am wearing an old pair and things are a little fuzzy!

    Thanks to the command centre and have a lovely week toots.

    Morning all, we all managed to sleep in this morning.:doh:At least all the school stuff was ready so it didn't turn out too bad.:D

    DW on and WM, hubby still in bed and Rhys should go for a nap shortly. One catalouge now sorted, flip it's such a relief. So money is finally getting sorted out and the phone calls should stop now.:j

    Blind man rung and it should be tomorrow he'll be out. So i need DD's room and bathroom clean.

    Right cuppa and i'll make a start on the kitchen..
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
