    Morning all

    Think I shouldn't have had that last half in the pub last night...:( We did have a good time, though, and I'm not too bad this morning. DS2 let me sleep until almost 9am. :D First cuppa and breakfast had, and I'm just about to get DH and DS1 up. He's going to a friend's house to get some help with preparing for the audition tomorrow.
    Yesterday I finally cleaned the hob and half of the kitchen sink, so I'll carry on in there today, as it's awful. Must also sort laundry, so DH has plenty of ironing to do on Tuesday ;) and because it will make packing for the holiday so much easier if all laundry is done and put away. May take DS2 shopping for some more clothes this pm, too. 2nd cuppa first, though.

    Morning

    late start for me today as managed to sleep a full 12 hours :eek:

    No flying done as went to first my first real life flylady and her family :D. Had a great day and plan on doing it again soon. Prior to that Friday was making more sorbet and jam with fruit from the lotty so huge flylist to catch up on.

    Guess I better go and catch up on some brekkie then do something constructive

    With catch up with what I've missed on fred later as it looks like only 10 pages over 2 days - we must be slowing down :rotfl:


    Just reading back through the names bit - when I worked at the hospital years ago I remember a little old lady coming in who's name was Ophelia Balls - think she should have kept her maiden name when she married!
    DS - luckily loves his name Harley but we spent a long time deciding whether we should give it to him (10 days or there abouts) as his dads name is David!

    Morning All.

    Been up a few hours due to OH moving so far over onto my side of the bed that I actually fell out!!

    Going to have a shower and then motivate my lazy bum. I need to start getting organised for our camping trip on Tuesday. I was thinking of cooking and freezing a few meals to take with us. We are camping under canvas for three nights. Any suggestions?

    Morning, awake but feel shattered, glad I came home from the party last night.

    Feels a little bit tender on neck and shoulder area and have a headache but nothing too much. DD2 is fine because she was bouncing on a trampoline last night in a sumo suit...:rotfl::rotfl:

    Breads made ala breadmaker, chickens clucking away, I've a feeling an egg may be arriving soon.

    Off to declutter a coffee, await hubby's return and see what today brings.

  • Morning Everyone

    Had a busy couple of days so need to do a general list of everything today I suppose. It was really nice here this morning almost autumnal .....shame it should be summer. Anyway I have stretched both mine and Spikes legs in the park and after a well earned cuppa I intend to start on the following

    3 loads of washing (been a bit neglectful this week and it has added up)
    Hoover down and up if time but down in most need
    Tidy kitchen from a cooking fest last night
    DW
    Declutter my awful chipped nail polish :D
    Bathroom wipe down

    Ill start with that and see how we get on

    Have a good day all

    My DD is the only one ever in her school with her name. Her name is Aliyah, it should have been spelt Aaliyah but hubby didn't like the 2 A's. Mind you everyone say's it wrong as it's said A-le-ah. :D

    Slow cooker now on and ever has had breakfast. DW unloaded and reloaded.
    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.

    Emily is the name of my bridesmaid, and also of the little girl from my last class who is still in contact with me via email.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
