    Don't mix ebly with cheese sauce and veg, pleurgh, awful! I need to use the freezer up but must be less random in my picking.

    Not done loads but made a dent in the clearing up, washers never stopped and dishwasher has been on again.Got the boys booked in for swimming tomorrow, just an hour or so so think I will pop to the shops while they are there.

    So tired, think I might have a lazy half hour then bed time

    Oh yes, I do like Strictly too :) Matt was VERY good and how hot is the new male professional Robin Windsor yumyum!!!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • I'm done with as much paperwork as I can take today - but snowballs updated, most filing done, and desk is clearer. More tomorrow.

    Time to retire to my pit, see you all tomorrow.

    sweet dreams

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.

    Of course you can. I did not write it, don't know who did, it was printed in an NCT mag when mine were little.

    Watched strictly, watched the news, slept through something else, now got QI on but about to ring DS as I don't want to stay up much longer.

    Can I beg a favour?

    Can you all send big sticky egg/growy baby vibes to Sally, the lovely lady who does my nails?

    She has just had her 7th attempt at IVF, 'babies' were put back today. This is the last chance she has due to finances (she sold her house to pay for the last few lots) and I REALLY want this to work for her.. even if it means I have to have someone else do my nails for a few months.

    4 loads of washing done today, 3 dried 2 folded and put away
    Some more socks sorted and some were binned!! .. Binned some undies too!!!!
    DW been on 3 times again

    Off too bed now but a lot more washing needs doing over the weekend and I WILL be having that back room tidied and the baskets of socks sorted out.. I am sick of them being strewn about the floor!

    So that you're spotted.

    Hints & tips you'll get aplenty. Stick with level 1 for a couple of weeks & you'll find that soon you've got time to add in level 2 & before you know it you'll be at level 3. It really is amazing how much you can achieve in a 15 or 30 minute session. And the support & advice you get on here is fab :D
