    Hi ss :wave: and weezl :wave: and everyone else :wave:

    We are back from toddlers - today there were the usual toys, then halloween painting and sticking as well as scaary ghost cookie decorating It was lots of fun. Plus I found out that one of the really lovely ladies is moving in very close to us before christmas. There has been a mass exodus from the area recently so it'll be lovely to have some new faces :D

    The house is a tip - how I don't know, but it is so this afternoon will be spent cleaning AGAIN! And the european washing mountain has reappeared. I do 2 loads a day on average, see what not 'working' over the weekend does to me?! ARGHHHH Oh well - I suppose if I ask nicely, 3 might do my ironing for me ;) :rotfl:

  • I am hiding in the ninky nonk, hoping my problems will go away.


    Am having one of those 'I know I have got to take action if this situation is going to get better but at the moment all I seem to be able to do is ignore it' days :o




    One step at a time, small chunks, little things...I know all the advice, I just can't seem to put it into practice. :o

    I'm making Aimee pick up toys... She's left them out in 4 rooms today... We're going to get the living room clear enough to hoover ready for when my Aunt comes... Still no water... And worse than that, Aimee just went to the bathroom and left a big stink... I've had to pour bleach down the loo and crack a window open!!!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    FInishing off plastering my new bedroom. Are you all bored of my loft updates yet? It's plastered, will get sanded down and painted by Wednesday. We have chosen some furnature and I've just ordered a blind. Oh the carpet comes Wednesday too :D OI can't help it, it's been dragging on far ages and we're going to be up there soon... sleeping (and stuff ;))

    Then to start on the stairs, kids rooms and the hall. Then the kitchen. Put a drive in. Get a new back fence....
  • I'm here, just a bit bog-eyed in work from a long day at Alton Towers yesterday :D

    Busy weekend but I have done my best to try a keep up - I was put off posting during all the uproar on Sat and then there seems to be random posts appearing from a merged thread - yet again making it look like we are specifically ignoring other non-regular pt'ers :(

    Huge hugs to Twoflowers - I'm glad she's got the support of the preg thread :(
    Gill - Hope T had a good day yesterday - shame you didn't get time to do lots of pics but I'm sure you'll be able to get lots from others.
    Caz - Hope Charlie is OK today - that must have been scary.
    Tia - Yay, new bedroom!
    CAFC just :T

    Erm...think I have forgotten everything else, sorry :o

    I don't think so, but thank you for asking. I know what I have to do. I have broken it up into chunks and I just need to start crossing the things off my list....

    The world seems very big and I feel very small today :(



    And now the CM has just called and my baby is poorly. She has just put him to bed and she will call me to collect him when he wakes.

    Hugs to Benjamin. Poor wee thing. I hope his Halloween party didn't take it out of him. Annabel sends him a lovely kiss x

    I need to get on with things too. Get a head start while I've eaten and LO is still in bed asleep. Meet you all back here for afternoon tea and cake (if I'm quick I'll manage to make us all something yummy :D
