    Lists? Oh yes - I have many, many books full of lists! Jobs to do, places to visit, recipes to try, clothes to make, cards to send, pressies to give....I am a listaholic! I tend to think that the world divides into list-makers and list-haters!
    Fabulous afternoon here - I've been sitting out in the conservatory with the door open so doggies could bask in the garden - and had to come in because I got too warm!
    Have pulled out all my material stash and patterns - and I have plenty to keep me occupied for many, many months to come. Also found about five half-finished projects...
    DH has been making a start on sorting out the garage, but it's a long-term project!
    Trying to persuade myself to go and do just 15minutes sorting of the paperwork mountain up in my "office/study". It's also our main spare bedroom, which has been occupied by DS for more nights than not of late, which is why I've let it all mount up.
    Hope you are all enjoying today!

    Think twice before spending anything!

    Afternoon,

    Happy birthday Redruby! :D xxx

    Bargainbird, hairspray should get the pen out, don't go buying a new cardi until you try it.

    Well I am exhausted it was a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong day at work today. Five hours and I am kaput :o Just been to Tesco with the boys too, my word the prices are on the rise :eek: I need to seriously get into the garden this weekend and get my veg for this year sorted out. The boys are doing their homework, I am off to make HM sausage rolls and oven chips for them, for dinner, and some sort of mushroom / halloumi combo for me I think. I am hungry today, and really need to get busy to stop myself eating. :o

    Hugs hi fives and spoons all round.

    Jackie XXX

    Beef stir fry for dinner tonight, We shall be useing some of the left over beef from yesterdays dinner.

    My mom has had the twins today but she has not sent them to nursey as not long after getting to there house this morning twin two was sick, Then not long after she was sick again. She has not been able to keep anything down for most of the day. She has since had a light dinner today and she has also been able to drink and keep down water this after noon. Twin one will be more than likely be comming down with what ever it is ever tonight or tomorrow.
    Still never mind.

    Well i hope that you all have a good evening

    Enjoy yourselfs:j:j

    Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes :j, was a bit naughty this morning, the trains were not running to get dd to school, so instead of making a 14 mile return journy to get her there I kept her off :o, bad mum :o, but we have spent a brilliant day together, I am blessed that we are so close.

    OH and dd are now cooking dinner, and I may partake in a glass of wine later on :beer:.

    Got lots of lovely gifts, chocolates and flowers, a bracelet and scarf, and OH paid half towards an I phone for me :T, its not arrived yet, but I cant wait.

    Cold here now, but heating is on, house tidy and lots of washing dried on the line, including the sofa covers.

    Thanks again, you lot are blooming lovely xx :D

    Glad you have enjoyed your dad.:j:j After the tough few weeks that you have had i dont think anyone would blame you for keeping your DD to yourself today, and spending some fun time with her.

    Enjoy your evening:j:j

    Evening All
    Happy birthday Redruby. :bdaycake:
    Went back to work today, feel better apart from the cough but apparently still sound choked up (good for the sympathy vote!).
    Put a load of washing on before I left but forgot to ask DD to put it out, still not used to anyone being here! I will put it on the airers.
    Not much else to report, off to Mama Mia tomorrow so probably wont have time to catch up with you all.

    Take care. XX
