Morning All :wave:
And a beautiful one it is too, the garden is beckoning.
Not been about much recently so would like to send belated birthday wishes to those I've missed, & to flutterbye for today. Congratulations to those with weight losses :T & those who have had job news, & fingers crossed for those still in limbo.
Hopefully the arrival of spring will lift all our spirits.
Am hoping to get the big throws from the beds washed today, have got a towel wash on at the moment which will be going on the line shortly. DW is on & kitchen has been cleaned, DP is home today so he will hoover & mop later. He does have to go & pick up a tyre for the car & pay the rent later tho still not as bad as it could have been as he fixed the washing machine at no cost:A
Right, towels have finished & kettle is whistling so must be time to get on.
Hugs, spoons & hi5's as needed x
Hope you all have a Happy Monday

(((hugs))) Bitsy. Hope you feel a bit more up beat now.

Really jealous of those who can get their washing outside. We have no sun in the garden and it is still cold so it doesn't dry.

Just done the washing and now off to do the DW.

Happy birthday flutterby. xxx

Sitting enjoying a lovely coffee - as OH has taken the boys to school. WM just finished so will put out on the line, DW on and gorgeous weather here - so happy happy happy. Feel absolutely shattered - no idea why.

Chicken korma defrosting from the freezer for tonights tea as I want to start the boys on a gluten / dairy free diet. It might help with my eldests autism / aspergers. So I've been through all the cupboard contents and will be bracing myself for a difficult time as I use up the foods which have gluten / dairy in. I can't afford to be throwing things out. Had a weekend in London - took children to see Mamma Mia - it was very expensive, but worth EVERY penny just to see my youngest (5 yr old) face light up when he realised what the music was! Bless him, even when we were right outside the theatre he didn't have a clue - even when I told him!!! Then went on the London Eye on Saturday and took the children to Hamleys for a look!! I told them it was where Father Christmas shops, and only he is allowed to buy things!

Bought them a special yoyo type toy which I'll put away for Christmas. Have to catch up with the washing now - Waking the dead was a good one last night, so will get ready to do all my ironing in front of it tonight. Oh - thats if we can fix the iron - I blew it up last night!!! just taking the plug out!

Don't worry about missing it - once you're the other side of 40 don't think it is a major thing :rotfl: good thing was I thought I was 43 then worked out I am 42 :j:o

Good Morning All!
Birthday Greetings to Flutterby - and belatedly to Essexgirl!!
Car gone for repair today...4 figure bill in prospect!! It really was only a very little knock too!
DS still in MHU. has lost filling so needs a dentist. Needs proof he's on benefits. Tells me he's thrown away the letters!! How has an intelligent, capable bloke become like this????? OK I know - alcohol and depression in his case.
Need to get on top of the paperwork today, and am thinking of all the other things to do which have suddenly become so much more attractive! Wish I could make myself do things in a timely fashion - I know exactly what I should be doing and when - then "talk myself out of it". Then I wonder why I get stressed! It's been a problem for me since my student days when I always left things to the last minute and did everything by the skin of my teeth. Probably too late to change now - but I really wish I could!

Morning all!

Grey here today after a weekend of glorious sunshine! Kids and me did housework yesterday, so not much to do today, washing as always though! Off to work this afternoon, but only a short shift today. Getting quite excited as it's my scan tomorrow, so will hopefully find out if I'm having a spud or a spudulike (best Wayne and Waynetta voices please!).

Lunches: ham sarnies (again), clems and apples, lemon cake and cheese

Dinner: chicken curry, to use up leftover rice from Fri and remainder of yesterday's meat and veg!

Have a good day all xx
