while in primark thought i would get the dressing gowns and pj's for the kids as someone said they were really good DD is 13 and unfortunatly pear shaped so was going to get her 12-14 size but assistant said they only do 8-10 , 10-12 or 16-18 so couldnt get them for her as i dont want to give her a complex youngest DD and DS all come up normal size she has slimmed down quite a bit since she started her monthlies but just needs another growing spurt

Morning All

Hugs to everybody especially DLB and Topher

Not feeling to great this morning, got up to the whole house smelling of last nights curry. I also managed to lose DD shoe at Tesco yesterday evening so I need to go and see if anybody has handed it in. If not its a trip to town and another £25 at Clarks. Could do without that as I've cleared the clothes pot buying her a new coat and stuff for winter.

Apart from that we are off to look at a new place that sell and fit multifuel burner, the place we have ordered from has consistantly let us down so I'm not too happy with them.

Have a good day everyone

Morning everyone

Dlb, wow, you must be feeling strange, sounds like you handled it perfectly.
Topher, don't be too hard on yourself. I hope you can rest this weekend.

Had an awful night here last night, children were up and down all night. dd has a temperature so must have picked up something.

Off to pick up a tv from a freecycle wanted add I placed. I have never placed a wanted add before but a lovely lady said they had one in their garage we could take. Ds is currently making her a card to say thanks. I really didn't want to have to buy a new one before we headed to Oz so this is perfect!

Dinner tonight is a "free" Beef Wellington, after a mess up in an online order I placed ( never ordered it in the first place but it looks good!). We are having a major clearout at the moment, so am clearing and ebaying for most of the day.

Hugs to everyone

Morning all,

Very wet old day here. Just been watching the cat slinking down the garden under the bushes!!!!.

Well 2 loads have been done in the WM. Off to make 3 packed lunches, as we are off to Cannock for our final band competition!!!!!!
This is the nationals, so hopefully we will have done enough to move up a class and come home with a load of trophies.

Won't be back until about 8.30 so hope you all have a good rest/shop/clean/footie/baking............

:hello: Goooooooooood Morning!

Had a bit of a cruddy week this week with one thing and another. This weekend will be busy on the housework/laundry front but I also need to drop the boys off at the local shopping centre (they have *secret* shopping to do )

Tonight I'm making Nachos for supper, quick easy and will be perfect for an evening of X Factor

Haven't had chance to catch up with everyone's news, but I'll bob in and out and catch up along the way.

Thankfully the "damaging winds" forecast yesterday didn't seem to materialise (but then I haven't turned on the news yet either :laugh: ) at least, not in my back yard!!

It's all systems go in QueenieLand, so time is precious because there's not a lot of it spare! :rotfl:

Wishing you all a lovely weekend. TTFN :wave:

Morning all

dlb I think you handled the situation magnificently!

Queenie I hope you get time for a sit down today

I seem to be living my life around other people lately. I wish someone would fall in with my plans for a change. I wanted to go to a Christmas Fair last night that is held in a local school and is always fantastic but DH didn't want to go because of his ankle and DS had to go to scouts. Feeling really fed up as I am handling Christmas all on my own, the house needs blitzing and now someone is arriving for Boxing day with the in-laws and I have to buy another present for her and I don't know her or what she would like. I normally love christmas but I am starting to get really fed up with it all.

Horray football has been canceled waterlogged pitch!!

So have changed all plans for today, dh has just taken ds3 to bike shop, im just having five then going to tidy up, friends have just phoned to asked if we want to go up to the local club after dinner, they have a great kids room and play area so kids excited about that.
Then home for tea and x-factor!!

Not many people about on here this morning they must all be having a well deserved lie-in!

Good morning everyone,

Ive just got up!!!! Just wish it was because i had been asleep all night, but it was just me being lazy!!!! Actually spent the night on my own, DD stayed in her bed until about 6, although i still woke up a couple of times in the night before she came in, she then spent half an hour wriggling around before going to watch the tv downstairs. I had just dropped off to sleep again when DS came in, he only stayed about 5 mins tho. I then just dozed, as i could hear them crashing around, making breakfast and going to the loo etc!!!
Anyway, now im up, im catching up on here and having a cuppa. We dont have to race out, as DSs football has been cancelled, mind you, we did have the bad weather last night, not so much of the gales, but the rain was relentless!!!! Has now stopped, so hopefully will stay away until tonight, as im taking DS to see Plymouth play Leeds this afternoon. DD is going to my friends house, shes not keen on the footie.
Right, better get on, after being so lazy!!!
Hope everyone has a lovely day,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning everyone :hello:

Only 3 working days left and then I don't have to go back to that school. I feel so relieved. The atmosphere is terrible and the head is now bullying the next person she wants to leave. It's so blatantly obvious to all members of staff, it's quite embarassing to those looking on. The person being bullied has just contacted her union, but surely it shouldn't be like that .

A couple of the children in my class have worked out that I'm leaving, as my photo isn't on the new "staff" board in the reception area. However, apparently a girl in the other year 5 class has said that I'm pregnant :eek:. I'M NOT. I'm telling the rest of the class on Monday and evidently will have to point out that I'm not leaving to have a baby........ The other year 5 teacher has said that she will tell her class that I'm not pregnant :rotfl:

Today I'm going with my mum to see The Spanish Riding School at the NEC. It's our "thank you" present to her (and supposedly my dad :rolleyes:) for helping to organise our wedding, but she's decided that she'll take me. We've booked a Holiday Inn Express for tonight. Tomorrow, I'm meeting DH and two friends at the Good Food Show at the NEC as friends have managed to get us cheap tickets. We've got tickets to see Ainsley Harriott in one of the theatres. I think my mum will tag along with us..... but she's been told not to cramp our style!

Have a good weekend everyone :wave:

Hello Everyone,

Not been around for a while - the dreaded w*r* calling!

WM has been on and now TD is on.

HW all done, just a quick swish with the hoover later.

We are out Christmas Shopping later and then I hope to get on and get some cards made.
I think we are having dinner out, not OS, but a deserved treat as we have both worked extra long hours for overtime to clear the CC debt.

Made two hampers yesterday

Gardening one - RHS Diary, bulbs, seeds and two mugs with hot choc and some shortbread. Came in at just over £7.00 and is for a couple who we normally just buy some smellies or biscuits for at around £10 and even if I do say so myself looks much more expensive.

Movie one - DVD, small bottle of wine, coke, popcorn and some homemade sweets. This is for my friends daughter and is possibly the last time we will buy for her, she is almost 20, so rather than just getting something like a DVD I have made the effort to look like more thought has gone into it.

Have a good day.
Gilly
