    Morning everyone :wave:

    I'd forgotten about altering the clocks, so that was a nice surprise...

    Not for me :o I had to work thru it, 9 hours in a crazy busy taxi office, my poor voice!

    Finished at 4am, back in today at 2pm so just sitting around in my pjs til then! Have put a wash on and opened up the windows to get some fresh air thru the place. Lying on the sofa with the dog watching 'Kindergarden cop' :D

    So much to do!

    I want to go and do the kids room but I can't catch up on the X factor from there!
    H is expecting dinner when he gets from rugby with DS but the fridge is bare. I need to find something and then do an internet shop for tomorrow, save me taking the kids to the supermarket.
    Then they want to go swimming and I've got a surprise for the kids booked this evening. We're going to a museum of buildings tonight for a special trick or treat. From what I gather, they've dressed the buildings and put people in the houses as well so the kids can go and knock on the doors and be frightened!

    So my time for flying should be now really. But I need to watch the X factor! I could do some decluttering of my wardrobe and the dusting in the master bedroom I guess. Glad I have an extra hour!

    So glad this thread exists, it does give me a bit of a push.

    Morning all. I think I've posted earlier this week but I can't really remember. I do know I've done all the cleaning anyway. Today I've got one load of washing out on the line. This afternoon we've got to shift the washing machine outside ready for the new one coming tomorrow. The old one has been getting louder and louder and the drum feels "wrong" now when I spin it so it's definitely on its way out.

    DD1 coming for roast dinner.

    Hope everyone's OK. I've read stuff but I can't remember anything.

    Thanks toots, just need to hope I can squeeze my knockers in it! I hate buying online just incase... Will be the most I have spent on a top since before the kids were born! Before that I wouldn't flinch at spending 10 times that, scary!

    Anyway today I've decided to come with DP to his club as there are plenty of people going with my friend so not worrying too much. Sat in a warm youth centre drinking coffee and a few games of air hockey then I MIGHT have a look for festive gift ideas. DPs dad has booked a holiday 6th-21st December so he wants a list off the boys asap and I need to sort what we are buying them - clueless!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    3 bin bags of rubbish now out of the boys room and a full washing basket. :mad: So wm will be on all day.

    Dinner in sc, dw just finished so i'll unload and reload it. Hubby has the fire lit so clothes horse will be filled as will as washing line.

    Next room to be done is back hall and utility room, i'll get the washing into piles so that should leave it easier. Sort out the stuff going on thursday and have a look through the ebay stuff, i might even get something listed. :rotfl:
    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.

    lil_me that top is gorgeous, I have bought from them before and have a similar kind of thing with a corset style middle bit and I adore it. I thought it was pricey but believe me they are good quality. Plus it is so unique.

    Good start here today,.. *waves* hello all

    Got up before half 8, well half 9 with the clock change but hey. Spent some time relaxing with coffee and crochet and have finished this weeks studying and also cleaned out my coal shed. It has needed tidying for ages as during the summer it was a plant pot dump and now I am struggling to get to the coal. Not any more. I now have neat stacks of paint tins, plant pots, a mess of plant frames and tools and a nice neat pile of coal and easy access to it. Yay!!
    I am getting a bit anxious I soon need to top up my heating oil so that is a big expense to fill although I do not have gas bills and do pay for it up front it is still a big expense when you are on SSP. I need to fill it before hospital so I do not come home and struggle to keep warm so I think tomorrow after my pre-op I will need to ring round for quotes for heating oil and coal.

    This afternoon I am trying decide whether to relax and crochet or do a bit more study. I might do both.

    Also have a bag of pumpkin innards to sort out. Going to take the seeds out and roast them off nom nom..

    Ok, have a good day all

    Love Hugs and Spoons all round
