    MrsChaos lovely shoes and well done, my hubby seems to think a hug and all is forgotten about. :mad:

    Crafty off course, plenty to declutter round here!!!;) Loads to go on ebay just waiting on a free listing day, i keep missing them. :o

    Right time i went for a bath and then bed, probably won't sleep as i've been on the coffee today. :rotfl:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    ooo we are going to the same Ike@ today, I might see you :D

    We didn't stop long but if you saw a girl with a very black thumb crying her eyes out it was Miss A, she slammed the car door on it as we arrived :(
    Have a good time in York - wave if you pass us - we're in Fulford!

    DD1 wants to try her 1st bus journey in 3 years today - wish us luck!

    We were at Rufforth Airfield for most of the day, so not far away at all. Miss A did a sterling job, never stopped all day and was a hit with the customers. Hope the bus trip was a success.

    Anw's mum and Miss A - hope you have a lovely day and are able to get the new bed. Littlemeister is still waiting for hers but until she came keep the room tidy for more than a few hours ............... Glad to hear Toots is doing ok, please send her my love x

    We had a great day overall but the thumb incident rather marred the shopping bit. That and the fact that the bed box was 6cm longer than I had been told :mad: it was going to be a tight fit at the shorter length. As Miss A's thumb was hurting so much we just picked up the mattress (knew that would fit) and a cushion she spied (paid for with part of her wages from today!). Left the bed, this one, for now.

    I shall measure the car accurately in the morning and see if it is going to fit (knew it was unlikely that that and mattress would fit on same trip anyway so all is not wasted, If the base won't fit in our car we will either have to find someone with a car it will fit (couple of ideas up my sleeve) or look at unboxing it at I**a and getting it home that way.

    W had a gerat time with my friend and her kids :) I will get more detail from my friend tomorrow.

    There was one last weekend and then 3 weekends ago so if the pattern follows then next weekend is a likely candidate.

    Don't forget you have 100 free lsitings per month if start price is 99p or less per private seller ;)

    Morning All

    Going to visit my grandparents this morning as it was my grandma's birthday on Thursday - not that we need an excuse - so that will be most of the morning gone. Other than that not sure what's happening, there's still loads to do - could do a lot yesterday when I got in as DH went to sleep at 4 and didn't get up again!

    Can't decide whether to get in the bath or to get some jobs done.

    Have a good day all.

    Hugs

    Morning ladies

    Up bright and early here this morning although the day is pretty grey and drizzly

    Hope Miss A's thumb is better today

    Already have the WM and DW on and have folded 1 load of washing, oh and sunk 2 mugs of tea.

    Plan for today is to sort all stuff for next week, uniforms. lunches, PE kits etc this morning. Return a cream sweatshirt that has a navy cord in the hood which has run in the wash and ruined it. Do some food shopping and leave for lunch at mums with DD for 12 - 1230 as she will then stay there while I go to work this afternoon.

    Breakfast then shower I think so that I can get into town by 10.

    Hope you all have a good day x

    Ninth Anniversary
    Morning all wet and grey day here in Lancashire.

    Thanks for good wishes to Dad- his operation went well but he has a few battles after the op but fingers crossed he'll be out soon and feeling better.

    Only one more day on the course at work. I have found it very hard and dont really think I have done very well on it.Have been assured that there will be lots of support afterwards to do the job so we will see. Trying not to worry too much as it was starting to make me feel ill.:(

    The house is a bit of a mess so will spend today putting it tidy and will start on lists again tomorrow.

    hope everyone has a good sunday

    hugs to all
