    Welcome new people.

    Just done a dw load, binned rubbish and recycling stuff.

    The hamster has chewed my curtains!!!

    Erm prepared breakfast patties for tomorrow courtesy of the takeaway secret, loving that book.

    Bought pumpkins for halloween, pressies for christmas, took eldest DD shopping, she took youngest DD and friend to the pictures.

    Long journey and day tomorrow.

    Hubbys birthday sunday and Ive got him nowt as he doesn't want/need anything...I did buy him part of a suit and some ties last weekend.

    Thats it, house is a pit, decorating has stopped due to work getting in the way, my friend who helped me in the kitchen is mega ill with that horrible flu like virus. My other friend has just had a hysterectomy on tuesday, they've sent her home today.

    For those interested there is a new Angry Birds for Halloween 59p on itunes.

    Thanks Toochy and AnW'sMum, i lifted the kids last night and when i got home i found hubby at the door in a panic. He though the tooth was gone, Rhys had hit it again i think with his hand or he's been grinding at it too much (he been grinding most of yesterday) he seems to have pushed the tooth back more.

    Rhys up this morning and the top lip is swollen, don't think there's much point bringing him back into the dentist as it's just wait and see. So i'll just keep an eye on him. :(

    Right best get everyone ready, woohoo it's friday. :D
    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

    Soak in vinegar, take shower head off and soak overnight in a bowl of vinegar and wrap some vinegar soaked fabric arounsd your taps overnight also.

    Hope everyone has a good day, decluttered a coffee, eleased the chickens, now off on a long journey.

    School run done for now. Why is it that no matter what i get done off the list during the week, the house looks like a tornado has went through it on a friday morning.

    WM is on at the minute, DW about to go on and i'll make a start on sorting the kitchen out again. :eek:
