    My friend's daughter in Germany is called Alina Marie, which I quite like. I had an Aleanor in school, but she pronounced it the same as Alina, not like Eleanor. (fond memories of the roll-eyes smilie).

    Morning all,

    I had great plans for flying this morning but then OH phoned and asked did we want to go over there for breakfast. I quickly jumped in the shower, unloaded & reloaded the Dw as i didn't do it last night, S & S kitchen, got us dressed and went. On the way back we picked some blackberries and helped ourselves to some crab apples we found under a bush. We're going to make a crumble later. I've just put the wm on a conditioner rinse as the clothes have been in there a couple of days, but now it looks like it's going to rain. Once Ds2's tidied up we're going to have a play on the Wii.

    What i've done.
    Old computer put in attic
    Rubbish gathered up in back hall
    Bonding put in shed
    All paint and brushes put in shed
    Back hall brushed
    All washing sorted into piles
    Washing brought in off line
    Clean clothes put away
    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.

    We've been out and about with the kids every day this week apart from today using the house only to sleep in and make the picnics, so you can imagine the mess it is. DH let me have a lie in today so am just about to start probably manage level 1 on most rooms but will def. have to make more of an effort next week. Hope everyone is well x

    Afternoon everyone. Can i please be excused from my lurkdom and come back to the flylady home? The last few weeks of the school term were absolute mayhem, so last week was spent enjoying the freedom to sit on my rear end and do nothing lol.
    I want to make a start next week and get the house in order, and have time to do stuff with the kids. Dont know yet if I'll be following the lists but i will be flying.

    On the subject of baby names.. DS1 is Benjamin, he was almost going to be a Sebastian or Carmichael tho. DS2 is Hayden, Other boys names we like at the moment are Ethan, and Alfie
    Girls names.... Susanna, Florence(my nana's name) Lily, Grace, Zara, Mollie, Maisie and Olivia.... ohhh and Shannon!!

    Afternoon!

    3rd lot of washing in the Wm as it's actually dry so far today so I can get the washing on the line.

    DH just putting dinner out - I've cooked it - and then we'll eat that before going to pick DD up from her sleepover.

    Been shopping and bought ourselves a new dvd recorder but DH can only get it to record the channel we're watching at the moment - goes through a Virgin box - any ideas?

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Hi,

    Since my last post i have refilled bird feeders, played on the wii with the boys and made an apple and blackeberry crumble. Although it was more apple than blackberry due to Ds2 eating almost all the blackberries while they were soaking.:cool: The sun's come back out now so i'm going to get that washing out.
