Iv been really naughty today and ate loads of sweet things. Back to normal dieting tommorrow. Iv also only done the kitchen floor,sat talking to the outlaws. Had a sleep too.
Anyway Iv confessed my sins now I feel cleansed and sick with the rubbish Iv eaten.
Back to the painting in the morning and will have to have a go on the wii.
Meg Iv had loads of accidents thats led to mess after Iv just got straight. I emptied the litter tray only to have a hole in the bag and it trailed all through the house ,ugh, wet cat litter not nice.
Oh did the tea today and the pork chop was cremated,weight watcher chips raw, nice tea shame I could not eat it. Dog wolfed the chops so at least he enjoyed it.
Well people upwards and onwards.0 -
I've done quite a bit today, I realised my friend was coming over to go to toddler group. I spent a good hour cleaning and tidying but I've barely scratched the surface, it is shameful. I really do panic when people drop by unexpectedly, I'm embarassed.
At teatime, we had a naughty chip shop tea, it was lovely. Can't beat a battered sausage
My car is dead at the moment. There's a problem with the keyfob, it won't switch the immobiliser off, I don't want to think how much it's going to cost to fix but at least I can aim for No spend day.
I've definitely decided we need bigger house, I hate not having room for a dining table. Keeping my eyes open for a house swap so fingers crossed.0 -
Hello Everyone
I just popped on to say hi and let you know that I did some de-cluttering of the belly (after three days of on/off labour and an emergency C Section). Charlie_Joe - 7lb 10ozs.
I tried to add a photo but the site said too many characters. Being a technophobe I don't know what to do to add photos normally.
I can't wait to get back on line and hear what you have all been up to.
Until then........

Hi Messies,
I think I have been possessed
I am in the mood to clean
Is there a known cure?
I have blitzed the utility room, filled 4 recycling bags with plastic, boxes and cans. Pulled the WM and fridge out and cleaned under and behind them. Cleaned inside the fridge. Cleaned the WM drawer .
De-webbed the cupboard tops and corners. It looks and smells like a different room. :j
Loaded DW and already finished and put away
2 x WM loads done and on the line
Now I am batch cooking in the kitchen but having a 5 minute break on here with a cuppa. I have made chilli, lasagne, spag bol, curry.
Worse than all this though - I am listening to Tony Blackburn on Radio 2.
Someone please rescue me - I have aged overnight :eek:
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Enjoy the sunshine0
