    Morning everyone,

    Have visitors today, but thanks to following this thread all week all I need to do is hoover through downstairs, S&S kitchen and do the lunch (sausages and loaded potato skins - cheap and easy and everyone can just help themselves ;) ) Have already had a bath and got dressed, washed/dressed/fed the kidlets, had a quick tidy upstairs and put some washing away. Might even get time to hang the washing on the line as the sun's out and pull the straighteners through my hair! Anyway, off to tesco quickly for supplies, have a good day everyone x

    Decluttered 3 feeds, 3 nappies, 1 toffee muffin and 2 packets of crisps.

    Washed mineself while Squeak has a snooze.. and when she wakes and is refed I am off stealing flea spray from my mother!

    Silly DD2 has started her periods and not told me and gone off to her dads.. so he has had to take her to buy pads lol.. I only found out because she used the 2 pads I had in the bathroom cabinet and DD1 hadn't used them.. Silly child.. I knew she would do something like this so I have been watching for it. I didn't tell anyone for years mainly because my dad slapped me silly and grounded me for 6 weeks when I started mine and made my pants messy.. class my dad.. he then went around telling EVERYONE.. including random strangers.. that I had pooped myself.. (he also told me he wanted me to be more like my schoolmate from up the road.. she became an escort! :eek:)

    Now need to..

    Dress self (easier said than done as NOTHING fits me!)
    Deworm cats (at least 1 has tapeworm!)

    Tick tick tick level 1,2 and 3 of every room .... The joys of being in the caravan is it's small and I've managed the lot including cleaning the awning, sanatising everything etc in about 2 hours :) go me! Washing up to date too even if it's £4! Large loads but still £4 is shocking.

    We've been here nearly a week, had one really bad weather day but the rest has been ok and today is hot, hot, hot!

    Had a nightmare ish day Friday when DP called to say his boss had put a note through the door saying he was suspended immediately without pay for gross misconduct and inviting him to disciplinary the following week. Well he phoned no answer so left message saying he wouldn't be attending (is classed as self employed and has no contract or anything) so could he call. Well all this comes down to another driver telling lies that he was spinning the taxi round a car park. !!!!!!! So anyway DP is good at what he does and had a new job within 1 hour so told the other guy to stick it if he chooses to believe him. Don't you just hate trouble makers!

    Anyway could have been worse but should be all sorted now, phew!

    We have another 10 days here and boys are loving it, found a wifi to tag onto which keeps logging me in as a free trial so will pop in when I can

    (hug) for you all xxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Well I'm experimenting with a new recipe that I found on MSE for courgette cake, as MIL gave us a marrow the other day, and we'd only used a quarter of it. It was fairly easy to make, although squeezing all of the juice out of the grated courgette and apple was a bit messy, but the kitchen has been cleared up - sides washed down, washing up done and DW loaded. Fingers crossed the resulting cake is nice.

    Am just going to strip the bed and hopefully will get the sheets on the line before the sun goes away.

    Hugs to all who need or want them.

    Have just got back from taking DD1 to Railway museum - she has had a fantastic time - we saw the hogwarts train and they had loads of lovely owls there. She got the autograph of the lad who plays Neville Longbottom in the harry Potter films and had her photo taken with him - the photo was done by the museum and thankfully here eyes are open - even if she does look pale and a bit wrung out! And I managed to push the wheelchair without demolishing anything which is always good.
