    Not been posting but have kind of been keeping up with the thred. Kids went to their dads yesterday so it has been lovely and peacefull, just me and the dog.

    Had a lie in then went shopping, I love mooching round the shops when the sun is out. Came home put shopping away, had lunch and been pottering around doing bits n pieces.

    Not much left to do on the lists so will get these done tomorrow before I go to work.

    Off to watch my big fat gypsy wedding

    Hugs, spoons, sticks, boots, birthday wishes and congratulations

      Have a good day all

      Morning Jue!

      Most unlike me to be up at this time! I had a friend over yesterday so took the ironing basket upstairs when I tidied up. Now I'm twiddling my thumbs thinking about it!

      I've got work this morning for a couple of hours. Once home I intend to sort out what I am going to wear for DH's Party next week. Cashflow problems prevent me buying something new so what I have will have to make do.

      I need to get DD2 a birthday present so think I will have a look at tesco online and try to get the 500 pt bonus.

      Hope everyone has a lovely day.
    3. Morning!

      We have visitors staying so pc time is squashed, and I'm off shortly to work so can get home earlier & spend some awake time with them.

      Flying, well visitors have, but I'll flit once home later, but will take recycling with me and do a tip run later.

      Byeee

      Moam

      Morning,

      Have been up for ages but doing my usual delaying tactics :p
      DH has been decluttered to work, so just me and the 3 cats here.
      Just going outside to see what the weather is doing and if it is worth putting the washing out?
      It looks grey thru the window, but I'm sure the forecast was for sunshine. I live in hope :D

      Hugs
