  • Really need to get up, clean downstairs and get to Ikea........HHC commencing ..........NOW.........
  • I only wear fitflops and fitflop boots - I kid you not!

    :eek: I hope you wear a bit more than that when you leave the house :p

    It's sunny here, but trying to rain. Shouldn't complain, the last few veg plants in the garden could do with a good watering :)

    Had a long e-mail from DH this morning, and he's promised to ring soon :T

    Going to find a list, and once I've spoken to DH, get out into the garden, as I fear we are in for lots of rain tomorrow.

    Morning all,

    Not been around this week, as luckily I've had 4 full days of supply Tuesday to Friday, although my voice is suffering for it now. Will have to try not to talk too much when I meet up with my friend and her baby this afternoon.

    Have caught up with Fred, and it seems lots of hugs are needed all round! So, for everyone, have one of these:

    hug00066.jpg

    Well I'm off to shower and get dressed and then I'll be off to town to have breakfast at Starbucks, then meet my friend, before doing the food shop on the way home.

    I had a phonecall on my answermachine on Tuesday to say that my wedding dress has finally arrived, and have arranged to have my first fitting next Sunday (26th). I'm a bit nervous as I'm sure I've put on weight, which I'm determined to lose again by the wedding, but don't want to have to have too many alterations, as obviously they will charge for them. Fingers crossed that I've toned up a bit by next weekend - working should help with this as I won't be sat at home eating, and will be on my feet all day.

    House is still looking reasonable, but will give it a good clean tomorrow when Moon is out shooting.

    Thinking of you all,

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    There is something very annoying about putting on the WM with the sun shining and hanging out the washing watching the black clouds building.
