Hi all,

managed to get a bit done today and work and do my head in by trying for the kitchenaid on the amazon black friday deals thingy....:rotfl:


So got in

brought bins in

cleaned chickens and replaced straw and foody things, they're very happy...they had been grumbling a bit.

Off now to empty the dyson, then use in dining room and living room.

I also have picked up an application form for a bank account for DD2.

Picked up a parcel thats been waiting for me for weeks...:o

Had my wood delivered by my neighbour who is in the wood business so thought it best to keep some money in the 'local' economy.


There is also a box of paper and stuff staring at me so I'm going to sort and declutter.

I'm shattered - this cough and cold is doing my head in now. Probably won't end up doing much tonight as I just feel like going to bed.

We have been given the ok for the dog so we are collecting him first thing on Saturday morning. He's a German Shepherd x Corgi called Jerry!

AnW's mum - have a wonderful time.

Shysarah

Ahh well hello folks,

I am still here to annoy you all with my inane jabbering. Hahaha.. (evil laugh):D

Sore tum today think I might have pulled myself a bit yesterday scrubbing in the bathroom and most likely carrying the wet washing through to the dryer. Got a bit carried away and didn't notice till this morning. Must be careful (slaps own wrist).

Today I have been a nice idle moo. :cool: Had a very long nights sleep so that and a couple of hours this afternoon has made me feel a lot clearer in my head finally. Still coughing and sniffing but my headache has finally (whispers) gone....:j

Flying wise well... I dried the washing up and will no doubt do the washing up after tea later on. I have also spent a good couple of hours working on my assignment and the words have been quite forthcoming. No idea how many words I have achieved so far but I work on it by writing sections and jumping from one topic to another and then tend to assimilate it into some kind of sense when I type it up. I like to be able to scribble it out, add bits in, twist it around etc by hand before I type it. Its messy with keywords scribbled in the margins and all but I have 2 & a 1/2 sides of A4 done so I am proud. Need to do more later and keep focusing in on the question it is a bit ambiguous so I am finding hard to stick to the main purpose and not run off on side tangents.

Tomorrow I will have a look at the lists for today and tomorrow and select the things I can do and do those alone. I will amend the lists to suit my abilities I do NOT want another day with a sore tummy it feels like I have been thumped and it is most unpleasant.

Jojo - I also think you are doing the right thing ref your DD1. It sounds a tricky situation and if things change over time you can always do the special gift for her 21st. Also, nice one from your Mum send her over here :rotfl:

AnW'sMum - Hope you have a great night out. :T

Everyone who has a cold or sore back I am sending hot toddies and warm gentle cuddles...
Everyone who hasn't is getting big squeezy cuddles....

Okies, coffee and then back to the books for a bit..

Loves, Hugs and Spoons to all...
Sarah xx

We did stop sending anything to DH's nephew past 18 as we never got so much as a thank you text off of him ever and as we never saw him either we were happy with this. I don't think we should get him anything for Christmas either and we won't be seeing him but I'll have to discuss that with DH.

We did the same for DH's neice, for the same reason DD and I spent ages (and a lot of money) on a silver pendant for her 18th. Her dad told DH that it had been received, but not a word from her I get no response from one on my sister's children either, so as of next year, I'll be sending one present for their whole family - some hamper-type thing

PenPen my day was fine thanks (not sure why you asked? Did you think I was going to the funeral? The mum was a friend of a friend and I Know the funeral would have been packed as she had so many friends from near and far)

Funerals for young parents are the worst

Good evening everyone :beer: Just got in from work - cycled home just before it got dark, but my legs and toes are still freezing

DD out again tonight, so DS and I are having some leftover sausage casserole and rice.

Anw's - have a great night - who are you seeing? DD is at a concert down your way

Off to look for a list ..............

Pigpen - are we getting a day off:D or are you doing the list just now?
tootsxx

Ooh.. meaNT TO REPLY EARLIER.. sorry..

Freja and I went to bed about 7pm last night.. she is playing up a bit and wanting entertaining 150% of the time.. which requires 2 of us entertaining .. She had DD1 dancing attendance today and has seemingly mastered the art of the 'doorstep' bottom lip which melts even the meanest mummy!

I did the lists earlier.. and tomorrows.. and about 11:30am we both went back to bed.. and woke up at 1:15pm!!!!!!!! She is STILL grizzling! I'm not sure if she is unsettled after a weekend at granny's or she is feeling a bit grotty (Tiddles has had a snotfest week) or if it is teethies playing her up or if we just want a pigout to grow with.. either way.. she better be behaving tomorrow or she is on the train to Auntie Toots!!!

Trying to sort carers allowance again.. and the mobility car.. they offered us a minibus and I said they can keep it and gave them a list of what we will accept! Hospital appointments galore and ebaying and generally trying to fold the 6 piles of clean washing have taken up my day..

Tomorrow I have a MAHOOOOOSIVE tesco delivery.. Tiddles birthday party for Thursday is in it, christmas sweeties and biscuits, stepdads hamper (whisky wine sweets and nuts.. I'll get cheese closer the day!) and a months worth of tins and freezer food just about.. £550 ... :o:o:o:o:o .. like I said.. mahoooooosive!! I'm popping to baby clinic tomorrow afternoon to speak to a HV about Freja's vision and query a tongue tie.. not to have her weighed.. she is heavy and growing that is enough for me!

In here today we have done the DW, the WM, the TD, emptied ALL the bins (love binday!) and emptied and cleaned out the larder unit ready for tomorrows refilling.. I filled 2 carriers with manky stuff which will NEVER be eaten or has legs or bit me when I moved it! I emptied and sorted ALL the boxes of cereal.. any idea why the children put back empty boxes?

Off to dance attendance some more and fling the littlies to bed.. hopefully I will stay awake past 7pm tonight!!

Love to each and all.. LL, lovely to see you hun..

Just flitting in to say hi :hello:

Not having a great couple of days, and can't go into details here, but any positive vibes gratefully accepted. If it would brighten up a bit, I'm sure I'd be coping better, I hate all this grey!

I did the bathroom on Saturday, and the boys' room too, and the main bedroom. Living room will be whisked over tomorrow, probably with DD after I get home from school.

Love and hugs, especially to toots, lady-liberty - lovely to see you posting! and everyone else who could make good use of a virtual hug, or would like one!
