    Twinks for tea won't hurt them, although they might want something else with them! I'm sure if they'll let you know if they do...

    I let them choose what they wanted:

    DS1 - gnocchi in tomato sauce (freezer stash) with a hob nob and a muffin.

    DS2 - packet thai noodles, chopped banana, chopped apple and hob nob.

    Me - cup of tea and a hob nob - can't really be bothered eating after that session in the kitchen:rotfl:

    Had a long chat this afternoon with my ex-boss. He has come up with an interesting proposition which I shall let mull for a few days. As usual he has a way of making my heart race and my palms sweat :D

    Have a quick rest and then try and put my kitchen back together after having my little assistant "help" me this afternoon:)

    Baby is now three days overdue. Can I ask you all send positive vibes to get it out, I'm really bad at waiting. It's like waiting for someone to deliver something and being the last one of the day.

    Have a lovely day all.:)

    I remember those days, with DS I went 13 days overdue :eek:
    Lots of baby out vibes heading your way :D
    Growing older is inevitable - growing up is optional:p

    Love it :D I chose to opt out of the latter ;)


    I can't say I love ebay :( Listed 44 items and I will currently sell 10 making so far £26 :( I know it's better than nothing but my last lot of selling was the same, really disappointing sales and given that most stuff is listed at 99p some bl00dy good bargains going a-beggin'. perhaps it's because of the free listing, the market is a wee bit swamped.
    Mind you anything I make will be spent as we are not deciding to buy a second hand tent for some weekends away. I know we are really lucky to have 1 weeks holiday a year away BUT it's just not enough for me, I need a break from the house (I can't say we have a relaxing time given DS and DD ;)) but it's the change of scenery. I could kick H though as he was insistent that well sell all our old camping stuff and it looks as though I'll be spending more money on another stove and camp kitchen along with a tent <rollseyes>

    Hey Bitsy, I know what you mean. Since working at home I crave time away and that is unusual for me. How about trying freecycle for camping gear. Can you advertise a swap for any of your non sold ebay items in exchange for camping gear? Mr C keeps talking about buying a tent big enough to take Moo camping. I just smile and think of all the nights when he would be woofing at anything that passes.

    Hmmm something that could accommodate 2 young kids if the weather is very wet. I don't want a massive 6 berth tent but we need one that doesn't require crawling on hands and knees to get in ;) what sort do you have Clootie?
