    Honestly... we always sit down together to have dinner but then we both tend to spend the evening in our respective studies working on the business & finances/uni & mystery shopping, then we have another good natter when we get into bed. It's one of the reasons I like car sharing so much, it gives us another hour or so a day to talk.

    Sounds very hectic

    Yep it is, but court case - uni degree - doing up a house - starting up a business - 2 full time jobs.... it doesn't really sound like it would be any other way! Looking forward to a time when it isn't so frantic though.

    Gosh it does sound hectic, but you still probably see more of each other than me and OH do if that's any consolation! I'm sure that things will start dropping off soon so you do get more time together, just make sure that when things do drop off you don't use it as an excuse to fill the time with another project! ;)

    Sounds like you're having a lovely time CMD, enjoy yourself! I hope you and your friends aren't trying to set Max up with girlfriend... he's too young to be bethrothed! :D

    Good afternoon all,

    Cinny – had a peak at your blog, the t shirts look fab, love the jeans as well.

    Tete – think the brandy may be frowned upon but very tempting haha. Glad you had a nice time in the lakes apart from the embarrassing incident. We have been looking at accommodation up there in august so we can go visit the family.

    Lara- that has gone very quickly. Bet you are excited to go home and see your OH. The only bits of the lakes i know are Coniston, Windermere area as that’s where my familys boats and things are. Is very nice though.

    Birdie – the bridal shower sounds like it went very well. Love the idea of the present game, can imagine that getting competitive.

    Dinah – well done on the ironing pile, I have given up on ironing since Poppy was born lol. Sounds like you are really busy at the moment.

    CMD – glad you are having a lovely time and Max is being spoilt.

    We had a nice weekend down in Southampton visiting the family. Took Poppy on a walk down by river on sat with my parents and she seemed to enjoy it. She is sleeping in her basket again now so getting more sleep so feeling a lot better.

    I am already trying to set Poppy up with my friends little one, when we went to visit them he walked over to her and gave her a kiss without us saying anything hehe.

    I know there is 6 again. NIM might do the house insurers one for me though to make it a round 5.

    Too tired. As usual not everything got done.

    Morning Everyone!

    Thanks Wendz & Birdie. Glad you like them :D And Birdie, don't worry about not commenting. I forget all the time, I go through my blogger feed and click open most of the blogs then just chomp through the new posts and forget to comment!

    Tete - I can only say the norm for lining up posts. One thing I did for ages was to just save it, rather than hitting publish. Took me stupidly long to get my head around it, I'm still confused by my tumblr queue! Sounds like you're doing well with the training too btw :D

    Dinah, you did get most of the list done so don't feel too blue about it! I love how you put tweeting as a 'to do' thing, I'm constantly tweeting about some random sh*t. Could actually do with putting 'don't tweet' on my to do list. Or erm, not to do.

    Felt like an Awful Annie last night :( Took myself off to bed at 8:30 (about 3 hours earlier than normal!) After spending all night bungled up on the sofa feeling like my brain was going to bust out of my skull. Feeling a little better today, though I'm finding I'm waking up earlier and earlier because it's so bloody light! 5:45 this morning, which is a new one. Did have time to polka dot my nails before I set off to work though, so swings and roundabouts :D

    Hello eveyone, I think you've done well Dinah - better to get SOME things done than none at all. I'm on a bit of a no-procrastination drive at the minute (not sure how MSE fits into this!) - got loads done yesterday just by not having my laptop on!

    Lara the Lakes are lovely! Keswick is fab but gets very busy. I love Grasmere too - they have the gorgeous little Grasmere gingerbread shop which is worth a visit and Ambleside is also lovely but has a bit of a nightmare one way system which was the cause of mucho swearing when I was driving the girls there in November!

    Yep all my challenges are getting v close, am a bit worried!! Will be glad when the 3 Peaks are out of the way and I can concentrate on the (attempted) running.

    Hope you feel better soon Cinny! :kisses3:

    Morning.

    Lol twitter needs to be on the list Cinny or I forget! It's all about raising brand awareness atm, I don't use it for personal twitter - everything moves too quickly, I definately prefer facebook.

    Todays 5 Things
    Business twitter
    Email designer
    Email webby
    Wrap stupid parcels
    Do May budgets
    Purcahse new house and contents insurance.

    NIM is at football tonight so there is the possibility I'll actually get all of this done, be in bed by 10 and have half an hours reading before he gets home. A girl can dream.
