Hellyboo

Well, I rang the docs at 8.30 on the dot and got straight through and got an appt for ten past nine when I'm usually on hold for 11ty billion years only to be told all the appts are gone! So queue crazy dashing around for half an hour to get myself and kids dressed and then dashing round the corner to get there, saw the nurse who said Ollie doesn't have an ear infection just congestion, popped to the chemist for calpol and baby wipes and got home just as it starting pouring down. I think that's quite a result!

Mumto5 Those muffins sound good, I usually go for a muffin/fairy cake rather than banana bread because it's easier to not eat the whole lot in one go then! Must get back to slimming world....

Right, bub needs feeding now, so will get working on the list after that and hope to get it mostly done before lunch so we can bake this afternoon!

Morning all,

OH's car is in the garage and if it's not better by tomorrow i'm not going to be able to do the car boot. There's no way on earth i'd fit even 1/4 of it in my car.:cool:

scarily busy yet again. I have at least now finished work stuff and can concentrate on packing etc.

Our house sitters arrive tonight so I need to clear the last hot spot in the DR, then S&S and hoover downstairs. Upstairs is a much bigger problem as DH has been sawing wood so everything is covered in dust and of course there are tools everywhere.

*breathes*

On the positive side I have found the passports and other important bits of paper.

I am stopping for a quick cup of tea but I'm making great progress. I've nearly cleared the hotspot from Hades in my bedroom.

Kettle's boiled so I'll start with you in 5 mins.

Happy Birthday Nevaeh!!!!

Holl - look on the bright side, I weighed myself today and have gained 5lb! I blame it on the fact I have stopped smoking and have never stopped stuffing my face!

Well, I have taken my sister to work, fed the kids, fed myself (!), written that yummy muffin recipe into my book....and thats about it really.

Off to hang up the washing and get my bedding in now.

I've been to the gym this morning and been weighed and measured for the first time in 2 months ooops....

I've lost 1kg, which isn't a huge amount in the time, but at least its still a downward trend. I've also lost several inches in terms of measurements. I still need to lose body fat though - it's 32.6 and needs to be below 30.

Flying... erm... OH has put up the outside light before going to work, and I've taken the glass recycling out of the shed ready to take to the bottle bank, and tested the smoke alarms.

Parents are dropping in tomorrow, we're spending the weekend at my brother's and cleaning OH's new flat (it stinks of smoke, but someone is lending us an air cleaner which we'll take over tonight and run till Wednesday), and then my parents are coming over for supper on Monday night, so the house needs to be respectable!

Parents are also delivering half a lamb (seeing as I now have three freezers here, one a chest freezer, and another one in OH's flat, I can stock up )

Suppose I should get some work done...
