    :rotfl::rotfl:Me thinks you are right but in true MSE style I need to 'wear' it for about the next 3 years to get my 'money's' worth out of it :rotfl:Will just have to wait a little longer for my combi plough/seeder/harvester that I was saving up for!
    Lunch time service from hell! Whilst clearing plates I slipped on some spilled lasagne and landed on my backside - which was bruised alongside my ego!

    Yikes that lasagne is nasty stuff! Seriously I hope you are not too hurt and hope today is a better day.

    Got class assembly for W today and haircuts after school but other than that I am around all day so hoping to get some dots joined up.

    My hall got patched up yesterday. So one thing off the list that needed doing. :j:j
    Managed to sleep in again this morning, mind not as late as yesterday morning. I'm gonna have to start getting to my bed abit earlier and setting up a better morning routine. :o

    Best go and get ready, school run then a trip to Mr A.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • Morning everyone!

    Slept like a log last night! I hope everyone else had a good night.

    I only joined yesterday and this may be obvious, but where do we find today's list?

    Do you think I can get away with putting my bin out in my pyjama bottoms> :o

    Put on shoes.. or you will stand on at least one slug!!

    I always do my bins in my bed attire.. last week I had my little nightie on and had it not been dar the street would have beed dazzled by my derriere which ain't little.

    It is binday here too so I will have room to battle the biohazard that is upstairs.. downstairs is looking fairly nice... next week is half term so it won't last long.

    Freja decided 4am was play time .. OH took over from half 6 so we are both shattered and my hips are crippling today to drus to be found once she has finished breakfast.

  • Morning all! Managed a slightly earlier night last night, although I was ready to go at about 7.30!!

    Hope your finger and derriere are not too fragile today cyclingyorkie, ouch.

    Just a quick catch up from yesterday. Can't see today's list yet so will have a go at getting rid of 10 things, although I've decluttered a fair bit since we moved so 5 might be more manageable. Still need to mop the floor too, but OH has pinched my mop bucket and hidden it in the garage, aaargh.

  • Think I feel a letter to my councillor coming on -for the first time!

    I live on a quiet residential road with two cul-de-sacs on one side - so more odd numbers than even. However these houses were built about 40 years ago - not a new estate.

    So what did I open my curtains to this morning?

    Council workmen installing street name signs showing which numbers are in the cul-de-sac.

    We are in the middle of massive council cutbacks and they are spending money on this. Why?????:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Morning
    You'll be pleased to know I out on some jeans before putting the bins out last night (and a jumper, tsk, way too cold to air the puppies!) In a very CBA mood today :( Got most of my kitchen list done yesterday and all of my extras though, so hopefully the CBA will lift and I can get the LR looking just as good.
