    Afternoon All

    Birthday wishes to those celebrating. Hugs to those who need or want one. Welcome to the newbies - it is good to have you here.
    I didn't sleep too well, my back is playing up, opposite side to last time. DS3 won at football 10 - 0 he scored 4 and only played half the match. Ds2 has ball - boyed today our team won!. Lots of washing dried outside, some ironing done. DH has hoovered my car and I spent half an hour hobbling round the garden pulling out a few weeds. Tea is ready so see you later.

    Afternoon,& welcome new people,its been a lovely day but cold.We've been really lazy today as we had a late night last night after our night out with some friends.When we arrived at the restaurant for our table booked at 8.30,we were asked to go to the bar up the road for half an hour as the table wasnt ready,and they dont have a waiting area.We went back 40 mins later-still no table ,and we ended up stood near the kitchen door waiting .We got sat down at quarter to ten,but they said our first drink would be on the house.The food came pretty quick really(fortunately :D as we were starving by then)

    Just waiting for tea to finish cooking-mince and chips at DHs request,as I forgot to take the joint out of the freezer :o,but I am making apple crumble.DS1 is out so just 3 of us.

    Hope you all have a nice evening x

    thanks for the Metallica clip hailight.......love that song......

    Busy few days here.....went out to the nearest town today...dropped two enormous bags of clothes and shoes at a chairty org., thats two down and a few hundred more to go if I am ever going to declutter our house........ got my hair cut ,ran a few errands and home again..

    Am excited to be coming to the uk on thursday tho not for a great reason as my Mum is not well at all.....this is when its hard to live so far away...

    so a busy couple of days doing office work and cleaning the house before I go as dh family will be descending on him while I am away.....Im stressed just thinking about them being here while I am not as they are all cleaning fanatics and Im not.... I usually clean the house like crazy for a few days before they come and then apoligize[sp] for the mess and say I didnt have time to clean....

    anyway enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone...hugs and spoons to those in need.......

Done some washing, drying on airer, been to Mr T, spent £28 on weeks shop (eating from freezer a lot this wk), made some twinks yummmmm. Done a bit of ironing for DD nursery stuff. Used stardrops to clean muddy carpet. (I luv the this site and the things I have learned!!) Cleaned up poops in garden and scrubbed down decking.
