    Mmmm
    Casts memory back (a very long way)
    Mum being hurt and disappointed was usually more effective than angry.

    Thanks Crafty... I hope it has been effective. She's been very helpful this afternoon, not creeping, just keeping her head down, and helping out.

    Hiya Valli :hello: Love the movie star bit, Of course I remember you as a certain leggy blonde from a rather gorgeous pic :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks LW for Mr SH's b'day cake :D

    Shopping done, and put away. Chilli reheating for dinner. Good effective day today.
    Now... do Mr Shattered and I go out to see a film, or out for some dinner??

    Coping much better now I am feeling like a human being once more!!

    Baby has just fit in quite nicely and other than wanting feeding at dinner time when I am STARVED she is fairly well trained!

    :rotfl:I mind Rhys would let me get as far as fork touching lips and then he would start, he allowed a taster. I think it's built into them.

    I'm not long back and need to be away again at 6.30, DS1 is at football tonight. Hubby back in bed, i don't know how he sleeps so much. :(
    Chicken soup on and then i'll round them up again.
    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.

    What a lovely name but you do realise that she will always be squeak until she decides that she is too old for it and you can tease her with it..

    Pigpen~~ I like the names, was there much debate with OH over them, or did you both sort of agree??

    Right getting set for home, and going to dig up some more spuds tonight.................can anyone come up with other ideas for cucumbers other than salad and slice them for rolls / sandwiches? even my neighbours are fed up with me coming round with them.............

    Well today has been a bit of a fail - had a snooze on the sofa whilst kiddies watched a film as the weather was cruddy again - and have woken up feeling worse! I've a little man with a hammer in my head, an elephant sat on my chest and a roundabout in my stomach!! I've managed to put a load in the WM and hang up what was in there and that is it! Will have to try better!!

    I love the name Pigpen but i do agree she will forever be known as Squeak.:D

    I can tell AF is on it's way. I've got a severe case of CBA today and have even driven to the shop to get sweets and chocolate biscuits and now i feel sick.:o I haven't even put tea on yet. OH is coming to do a bit more of Ds2's room tonight so i suppose the least i could do is to feed him.

    HHC at 5.30 anyone?

    I'm determined to do this tonight and make a start. Even though I cleaned it on Sat the chimney has thrown some bits down it so needs hoovering up already

    The sky has darkened and looks like a big chuck down is on its way so I'd better get off and take the dog for his walk
