Evening all,

Well today I've been stripping once again ..... I don't think I'm ever going to finish the living room! We are talking - plaster / paper / gloss paint / paper ..... it's the gloss paint which is giving me grief .... bit by bit .... and this is with the help of a sharp scraper and a steamer.

We also have no bottom staircase, so we have a stepladder in it's place. DD is a little sceptical of it, but she did climb it tonight (she is only 3).

I cancelled my order for her bike from Halfords today ... they'd promised me delivery on Tuesday (having chased them twice) and after ensuring someone was in for 2 solid days .. it still hadn't turned up, and they were ignoring my e:mails, proved when I 'phoned them this morning .... I was so unimpressed with their lack of communication. Now ordered her bike from Tesco (fingers crossed firmly). She's been ever so good about it, but how do you explain to a 3yr old that people don't always do as they say they are going to do.

Just watching Hugh on Channel 4 and trying to do a meal planner, which I have to hold my hands up and say I haven't done since the Spring . I have some busy times ahead and need to be a bit more organised, and some more batch cooking, but I want some more interesting things than spag bol / chilli / lasagne / cottage pie (can you tell, I'm good with mince!). I need to be able to prep a whole load of food and freeze it, but lacking in inspiration. I have now put chicken kiev on the list - but that's it!

I've also been looking at wheat / rice bags on the net, which d'ya reckon is best / cheaper to make?

Oh ... and could someone please do my ironing .. cos I don't want to!

Scuzz - the only other thing I would want to see is where Santa is visiting and when (and how much!) ...

way to go Nix... brill news!
(((loubee))) and anyone else who needs them. I know I'm late posting again. I just seem so busy with paperwork. I haven't even read the thread the last couple of days. I hope you are all having a good week and will post for longer at the weekend. Miss you all, take care xxx

*wanders in carrying mugs of tea, a bottle of non alcholic something and some champers for those who want it* Cheers guys, am still buzzing about the bonus so I thought I'd bring us all a drink.

Just watched lovely Hugh on his chicken thing and am sat here wondering whether I can buy my cheap chicken anymore. DS eats soooo much chicken and normally I go for cheapest. Now I am having one of those OS dilemmas - do I go for happy purse or happy heart? Got a feeling it's going to be happy heart from now on

Hope everyone has had a lovely day - oh, and I have a lunchtime date tomorrow as well you know, I'm only 3 days into being 37 but so far it's turning out to be quite a good year

Well am i glad today is nearly over!!

Went to my nursery course PEEPS was fed up of hearing one of the other mums going on and on about her children, didnt want to listen to anyone elses ideas or experiences!! Another mum told us she was a credit controller and said how she thought it was disgusting that people got into debt and how she had heard every excuse in the book, wanted to floor to open up and swallow me!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: :rotfl:

Then came home to have to go straight out to meet DH mate at his work to drop of a file my Dh had borrowed. only to sit there with DD for 40 mins without him showing up ( wouldnt go in as this is where DH used to work and i dont like any of them!!):mad: :mad:

Came home and the phone wouldnt stop ringing, 2 mystery shop companys offering me jobs iv already turned down, Dh needing to know phone no for job interview he has tommorow behind current employees back ( he hates the hours and job!!):rolleyes: My sister canceling her visit for today, was ment to be coming up from wales but nephew is ill.
My `friend` who woke me up at 2am this morning going on about nothing and never said sorry for waking us and the kids last night.:mad: :mad:

And to top my b@@dy day off went to kids footy tournment which should have finished at 4.30, and the fire alarm went off so didnt get in till, 5.20 and DH was home, first time hes been early all week and he hadnt taken his keys.!:rolleyes:

Hope you day has been better than mine!! Hugs to all and one for myself! LOL
Night all, catch up with you all tommorow in a more positive mood:A :A , if no one wakes me up ringing in the small hours!!!:rotfl:

Hi, chaps! Nice to see I've been missed - especiall thanks to Ice and Cat. My laptop has died (54 weeks after I bought it :eek: :mad: ). I've only just set up my wireless connection on my w*** machine, but should now be back a bit more! Off w*** tomorrow, so I'll definitely be around. I'm in discussion with trading standards as to how long a laptop should last - more than 54 weeks, methinks :rolleyes:

DH has gone to the far east for 2 weeks. I thought I'd got used to this, but I'm feeling a bit lonely and down atm, so watching Michael Heseltine's eyebrows on Question Time, with a glass of red.

See you all tomorrow.

Or today

A laptop should definatly last longer than that Pen Pen. I know what you mean feeling a bit down when DH goes. Been there, done that. You seem to find a rythm after a day or two. I think I've spelt that wrong. It doesn't look right. Have a good night sleep.

RHYTHM Still doesn't look right, though

Taking your advice, Aussie, off to bed. Enjoy your day - bet it's warm and sunny where you are!

PP, good to see you back.........Aussie is right, it's rhythm is right, although I agree with you, it doesn't look right.

Nix, Congratulations! Don't spend all your bonus on champagne!
