OMG - just lost the plot and threw DS2 underpants out of the bathroom window. They have caught on the crabapple tree and are blowing nicely in the wind. I have asked him everyday this week to put his dirty pants in the washing basket and today? well I had enough of picking them up. I will do it every time I find them there:eek::eek::eek:
Lmao haha. This has made me laugh so hard. Just what I needed this morning.
Morning all
Today has turned into a very lazy day so much so the kids and I are all still in our pyjamas! Although 2nd load of washimg in the machine and a large pile folded just need to put it away.
Had a horrible day yesterday was my last day of work and I really didn't want to give it up, but with my husband leaving and not wanting to look after kids anymore had no choice, childcare for 4 is way out of my price range. But am feeling brighter this morning, just need to get off my but and do some more housework.
Hugs to all

Afternoon all,
Tried to get on the thread from about 6:30 but couldn't find it. Thanks for starting it HH.
BB I have never seen so many smilies. Your post looks like Picadilly Circus:)
We also have pork for dinner, with roasties and veg.
It is cold, grey, damp and windless here so no line drying yet again:(
Have been out to the shops and splashed out on some cheeses
Bought our runner bean seeds. Have some saved from last year as usual, but we're trying a new variety this year. Need to dig and riddle (sieve) the veg beds and cover with cloches ready for sowing. Yaay, I love this time of year! It is so optimistic - though we could do with more sun. DH is transplanting seedlings, including melons. We had super tasty little melons last year but they came on rather late, so we're planting earlier this year.
Read thread but can't remember much.
RR it is hard to cope with your parent being in an 'institution', but they are safer there with people looking after them day and night. My mum, DH's mum & BIL's mum are all in homes now. They didn't like it at first but they have got used to it and realise it is the best option. hugs
Hester hope the bumps go away soon x
V8 take care x
Molly you have unusual taste in flags!!
That's all I can remember,
Happy Sunday all, hugs to all who need or want them, Silver xOutside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

*WARNING* Major Rant Alert!
Me and H have just had words on the way back from the cinema. It's not enough to have spent nearly £30 on going this morning we've now got to spend £10 each on the kids in the Disney shop :mad: According to him sometimes we just have to spend money. Why? why? Why? His scooter is in for repair and god knows how much that's going to cost, we have a holiday in August (OK it's camping but it still has to be paid for) that we've not saved a bean for. When ever I talk about sticking to a budget he nods his head and agrees but the minute he's near a shop it all goes out of the window. !!!!!! I am utterly sick of it, being the responsible one, trying to save and be frugal. I am sick of trying to get him to see what we are teaching the kids (spend now, never save later) is not the way to get along in life. In fact he can now take responsibility for all of this and it will be up to him to balance the books. Sure we have an overdraft limit but I don't want to live it in, it's costs more money to do that. Oh and then to top it all off he said to me "go and get a job and then complain that we have no money". He's really hurt me with that because A) I have a fcuking job it's called childminding and
he's one half of the reason we don't live within our means half the time. So clearly I don't "work" as hard as him and clearly any efforts I do around the house aren't considered work either. Perhaps I should just p!ss off and see how he gets on without me :mad::mad:
Thanks for letting me blow off, normal service will resume um probably after I've killed him and buried him under the patio.I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife
