    Good morning flypeeps!

    Have decided to go with three tiers of frosted cupcakes so that way I avoid baking altogether!!! :D I went to asda last night and picked up some of what I want, but I saw other ones in Sainsbury too which I shall collect tonight or tomorrow perhaps.

    By the time i got back it was literally a 'fly' round the living room last night and a swish round the kitchen.

    Shall update and post lists tonight

    Hope all is well, and glad to see LL is back after having had a fab time! Hugs to Toots and a fan for piggers and anyone else in need!

    Jo xx

    No I have noticed.. OH thinks he has moved to the desert though.. compared to manchester.. :p

    trust me - he has! Been here 22 years - still not used to it!

    Went to see Wild Target last night - really good, very funny and Bill Nighy was brilliant!

    We saw it in a new screen at the local flea pit - about 40 seats in the cinema, it was like sitting in an oven! And when we went in there were no lights on at all - we literally had to feel our way down the steps - it's an accident waiting to happen!

    And yes - it was the most uncomfortable cinema seat I have ever sat on!

    would still recomend it though!

    Morning Everyone :wave:

    Thanks for all the anniversary wishes, I made us a lovely steak dinner with all the trimmings and a bottle of wine, so a nice chilled evening (as chilled as it could be with 2 kids fighting in the background) Posting from work, its the only place I can catch up :rotfl:

    Still not sleeping well, because of the humidity I suspect and cat was wailing from 5am this morning :mad:

    Toots- We managed (kind of) to have a wee bit of time together thanks xx
    Pigpen - It was raining here from 4pm yesterday and never stopped, hope you got some too and are a bit more cooler, although it was still very humid last night, the sun is shining this morning again. x
    Kazwookie – I am having a boot sale with my MIL this Sunday and looking forward to it, I have been stacking up boxes for ages.x
    Lamewolf – Take it easy today x
    Lady-L – Glad you enjoyed it, and take it easy to rebuild your energy levels x
    Carsberggran – Congratulations on your wee granddaughters arrival, your poor DD, she will be in pain and overwhelmed, hope she picks up soon x
    mumofjusttwo – hope it all works out for you and you find a job soon so you won’t have to sell up x

    it was raining about 2am.. by the time I got up for the 97th time at 7 it was all dried up and that evil shiny orb was plaguing me again..

    I have a dodgy tummy today so that had me up several times last night, I had to close the window a little as the rain was coming in.. and managed to bang my little toe so that was bleeding and is incredibly sore this morning.. my shoes hurt!

    The 2 small pinks ar at podiatry this afternoon so I am hoping the tum is behaving!

    I need to decide whether or not to go to Ikea tomorrow for the boys chests of drawers.. I will be ok getting there but the walking round is what worries me.. and OH wants to go to his mums this weekend and I don't know if I can cope with the 2 hours drive each way.. I think I might die .. the drive AND the heat..

    I'm starving as well this morning.. then I remembered I didn't have any dinner last night because I was so hot and tired.. wonder if the dodgy tum is down to lack of food and abundance of juice?
