Late morning all!!
Had a very, very lazy morning. Have joined a few panels and spent the morning doing surveys. Have a head like a sieve and forgot that I had already done loads with Toluna and realised that all my points that I had accumulated have expired!!!!!!!! Grrrrr!
Anyway, have lots I can be getting on with today if I can actually get my a*se in gear and get moving.
LO for lunch and tea. Got to do just a quick tidy and hoover as house is fairly clean, and will probably head out to the park with the kids later as it looks dry today.
Have a good day all.

Morning all!

Never made it back yesterday and only a flying visit at the mo again! Girls' rooms are looking good, I just need to do a bit of cutting in for them. Ordered the new beds, even more chuffed as 15% off at the mo as well, sometimes waiting works!

OS stuff today: did ds's hair with the clippers, £10 saved, they were so worth the money! WM and DW loaded and running, hoovering done, tidying done last night when I got in from work and started throwing a tru - everyone soon pitched in! Kitchen S&S - after loading dw I soak the microfibre cloths in bleach water then after a cuppa given the kitchen a wipe round, rinse them out again and clean the sink! I've found that the best way for me to do housework is little but regular bits that are built into my routine - doesn't seem quite so bad that way!

Lunch will be something we grab out - holiday treat for the girls, I'm taking them to Primarni to choose an outfit - I love that shop! Also need a couple of pop up laundry bins from there too, must remember them! And hoping that the argos next to it has those triangle pillows, were great when I was feeding my others, and just for general propping up, so would like one ready for spudette's arrival! Not sure if ds is coming, he isn't a big fan of shopping, and even less so of being stuck in the car with the girls lol!

Dinner will be chicken - half price in Mr T's at the mo, so the normal larger chooks are cheaper (excuse the pun!) than the 3 for £10 ones!

Kids were fab with food yesterday, left them to get on with it whilst I was at work, there was a pack of puff pastry in the fridge, so dd2 made pizza whirls as a snack for them all, and ds made pork and chilli rolls with leftover pork, the pastry and hm chilli sauce! They also had hm soup - made by them, and finished off assorted leftovers for me I picked up some strawbs on my way out of work, were BOGOF and half price so ended up going through free, can't complain at prices like that lol! Also got some beautiful lillies and tulips reduced to pennies too - I love having fresh flowers in the house.

Right best get a wiggle on and take girls down to Taunton! Have a good day all xxx

Have managed a little more in the littlies room. Starting to see the end of the it now. I sorted for 15 min and put things in piles. DC1 then spent 15 min putting the piles away. I had a break while he was working and vis a versa. Worked quite well.

Had lunch. Littlies are in the bath to get the allotment off them and then we go to collect our new car.

Afternoon all

Thanks all for the hugs :A x

It's a horrible situation that's going on and whilst I can't talk about it it does help to know that people are thinking of me. Today is my cousin's 13th birthday and she didn't want to do anything to celebrate (as she is caught up in this) but I spoke to her last night and offered to take her out for dinner. She said maybe yesterday, but text me this morning to say yes. So I'm picking her up then going to meet my mum in local pub for a meal. Gotta go pick her up a present of some sort too.

Anyways, good day at work. Work kids were helping the local Family Centre sort out their allotment. They did lots of digging and weeding, and planted strawberry plants and potatoes. The sun was shining and they were in good spirits we finished early so I got home at 3pm couldn't be bothered to go back to office plus needed a shower!

OS wise - DW been on this morning. Not much else

Have a good evening all

Shopping all done and HM cake turned out beautifully (used up three wrinkly apples in a sponge recipe)Sis-in-law just gone ,she's off to Mexico next week to visit my niece for three weeks,at least she will get some sun there.
We are going to see if we can get down to visit my brother in France in September as he doesn't drive quite so much since he had his heart op.I will surf to see what flights are available to Poitiers (nearest aiport to him). Then ask at my local station about trains to Stanstead.Its got to be cheaper than driving down there with the price of petrol,plus it will be more of a break if we train/fly as well.Sun is really trying to warm the garden up at the moment ,hope it is still here at the week-end
Cheers chums JackieO

Tru's blog is here

Took kids and picnic to Earlswood Lakes and had a lovely time Weather was a bit cool but hey ho it stayed dry. Had a bad migraine this afternoon, felt a bit sick so had a lie down. Not completely gone but at least I am not queasy anymore.

No price for the conservatory but think it's going to be horribly expensive :eek:

Have a lovely Friday evening everyone x

Just a quickie from the 'van near Spalding on the dongle, weather dry but not too dull. Found another place for the Family History Archives.
