Loved the caravan thread - don't remember the peg bag thread but probably decided not to read it in case the pegs don't match;)

Bag for life, dead dog burried in the garden? classic :rotfl:

Oh my god I feel ecstatic! We have been ploughing away at our mortgage arrears for the last year and a half and today paid off the final arrears payment and are back to normal payments I feels so good and I'm so chuffed to be going into the new year with one of our big financial problems sorted

And, more importantly, congrats to you over getting mortgage back on track...

Also, I hope that Wolfie's BD will be better behaved. Maybe if you threatened it with this?

realistically my back problems have scuppered the ironing....but I will do some more today.

DS is working today and tomorrow - and planning on going out tonight (he normally comes in at about 5am!!!) Why cannot he see that this is a recipe for disaster?

Hope your back starts feeling better hun, and please tell your son not to drive anywhere tomorrow until he can be extra sure that all alcohol content is out of his bloodstream. The morning after the night before is usually the time when the police catch the most paople with 'over the limit' alcohol readings.

Morning ladles and jellyspoons,

Just got the post, and had some good news - my smear test results were normal. :T Fingers crossed that my sister gets her results of her biopsy soon (same hospital) and that the abnormal cells haven't gone deeper for her.

So far, DW put on and breakfast eaten.

Off to shower, dress and put a load of washing on.

Hugs to all who need them,

sexymouse xx

Great news Sexymouse, really pleased for you. xxx

Excellent news there Jen, well done and you keep smiling, you deserve it.



Well feel significantly better today but slept until midday :eek:, feel gutted that my week off work was blighted by this virus but hey, on the mend now and I've saved loads of money by not being able to get out of the house.:rotfl:


Wishing you all a great 2011, whatever you're up to. Myself and hubby will probably quietly celebrate here as we're both under the weather still. Hopefully we'll head out tomorrow if we're better.

Today I would like to bake something and just potter rather than shuffle like a zombie.

Also have bins to empty as overflowing.

Need to take tree down too I think, although it does look lovely it takes too much space up.

Well done Jenny and the Jewell Clan:T:T:T:T

Before xmas postie brought me a card for a couple in leicester (Wigston Fields)
I popped it in the post.

It came again yesterday - I gave it back to postie (PC is by front door and hence by letterbox)
AND IT CAME AGAIN TODAY even though it has now been scribbled all over...handed back to (same) postie AGAIN

If it come for a 4th time it will be being posted to some Chief Executive*rolls eyes madly*

Hello flying folks..

Good news i see...

Nice one Jen,
Nice one Sexymouse.. (must have mine in the new year too)

Ok.. the ANTS...

Climbed into bed at 3am and slept like a baby thru until 12 noon eeeek!!!

Have had a quick lunch and have been in my kitchen ever since. No more ant evidence this morning so have cleaned up all the powder, mopped all the floors, rearranged the furniture (table/fridge etc) so can now easily access the affected area. Dosed all skirtings with liquid nippon spray, as things have been moved it will be easy to do this daily if needed. I am just taking a mini break then zooming back into the kitchen where I will scrub down all the work surfaces, cupboard doors, appliances etc.

Then I need to do a quick whip round the rest of the bungalow and hoover throughout before diving into the shower and throwing all my towels, clothes etc into the washing machine. (Cannot wash tomorrow.. old wives tale i know but its one i stick too.. Washing on new years day and wash a member of your family away)...Tho tbh I bet we all have a member of our families we would quite happily wash from our lives hehe..

I am going to relocate cat food and litter box etc for a few days, the new spray is pet friendly too but having his food in there might attract the little beasties even more.
Anyway once I am showered I need to do my nails and get ready before cousin comes for coffee and we both toddle next door for a new years eve meal at my mums.

Oh.. and empty ironing basket here too!!

Love, hugs and spoons
Sarah xx

Hiya!

There really is no place like home! We went away day after Boxing day for what was meant to be a relaxing time away with the dogs.........it was very very quiet and the B&B we stayed at made us feel as though they were doing us a service by having us there. The bloke was ok but she wasnt so nice.............not that friendly! So we cam home early. And i am soooooooooooooo happy to be back - even the dogs didnt like it there!

Doubt I can catch up with the thread but will see what I can do!
