    Finally hoovered all of downstairs and mopped the floor.

    Time for a cuppa in the garden and then a little work in the garden if it is not too hot.

    Flying still to be done today is dusting downstairs everywhere and S&Sing toilets

    :hello: everyone!

    I'm home, and I'm now a "Mrs" - still seems very strange calling Moon my husband, and when I had to give my name for a phone message today, I forgot (probably tiredness as much as anything, as only been home a few hours, with a loss of 6 hours in time difference) and gave my maiden name - Moon is very understanding though, and says that he knows who I'm married to, so that's all that matters.


    Thank you to everyone who wished me well - although I wasn't able to get online in Jamaica, I've just caught up on some of the posts from that week's thread. :kiss:

    The wedding went wonderfully (perfect weather and really lovely Canadian witnesses who I met online, and whom I'm sure will remain life-long friends), and when I get a chance, I'll post a couple of pics for you all to see. We've got our reception on Friday, which I'm looking forward to as well.:T

    One load of washing is out on the line, and the wedding dress is hanging up in the bedroom so that the creases drop out. Need to do a lot of tidying, but things will look better once all of the washing has been done and put away.

    I'm off to put another load on, and to get our soup for our "lunch" - body still confused and didn't feel hungry earlier.

    A big Happy Birthday to Lamewolf, and to anyone else I missed whilst I was away.:bdaycake:

    Hugs to all who need or want them,

    sexymoonmouse xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
    I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/2017

    Sexy Glad everything went well. I keep thinking of myself as Mrs already and I still have 11 and a half weeks to go (that souns scary), hopefully I will remember that and my married name once the wedding is over. Looking forward to seeing some pictures x

    Spent an hour in the garden, I am tackling the moss that has grown on our brick patio. It got very slippy during the winter and I know it is one of the quick jobs I can do which I hope will inspire me to keep going out there. All hotspots in my house have gone so I just have one huge one in the garden :rotfl: I would love to keep going out there but the little girl next door constantly asks questions and stops me from getting on with things. I had to tell her who each item of clothing on the line belonged to yesterday as I took it down :mad:

    Next job is the ironing pile but my back is aching from vacuuming and gardening so am giving it a break first. I think I can get the rest of the house done tomorrow in 3 HHCs so hopefully will be bale to spend the whole afternoon in the garden after that.

    Happy birthday Lamewolf hope you have a lovely meal

    Very bored of bickering children now :cool:

    Lots of seeds planted, and one load of washing done. Been to the butchers and bought lots of meat which has had to be spilt and bagged, so the kitchen has been S&S'd and the DW is on. Need to tidy the dining room yet again.

    Dusty - I got a lot done last night, good job as SS rolled up with his GF shortly afterwards

    ETA Sexymouse - congratulations! Glad it went well

    Lovely to have you back safe Mrs Sexy :p.. When I first got married I was in hospital the day after and KH rang up and asked for me by my unmarried name.. I'm sorry we don't have anyone of that name.. oh yes he says I forgot we got married yesterday!!! lol

    £560 decluttered to DS1 for his flat.. he can have the keys today and spend the weekend cleaning it and we'll shift his stuff in maybe Monday.. I'll have my middle room back, OH will have the Xbox back and normality may well resume. I made sure the flat is solely in his name too which means she gets to find somewhere else if they separate. Now to furnish another flat for him :eek: .. how long do you reckon it'll take me to do this one? We managed the last 1 in 3 days!

    Tiddles has had a smacked bottom for deliberately wetting herself! Dirty little beast!

    Collected everyones pescriptions and OH is doing dinner :D

    Ooh.. Squeak just woke up.. I'll go stuff her full of food.. she likes food :D
