    Morning All

    JackieG - Take care of yourself and hope you are not too sore.
    RR - I agree with the duck egg blue for the dresser, I would enjoy doing that.
    Uolypool - Glad things are on the up with DD, give her a big hug and wish her well, a new start for both of you.

    Not much going on here, been swimming this morning and cycled to work a couple of times this week. My injuries from the fall earlier in the week are healing!

    Had a surprise visit from DS1 and GF. They want me to apologise!! The chances of that are nil. Everything I said I meant and when they grow up enough to understand the feelings of others we may get on better. I have also realised that for some reason his GF despises my DD. A very difficult situation. Anyway, DS2 turned up last night, he has finished his exams for now and is borrowing my car this week to go camping to Mull (with 10 pals!). I picked him up from the station last night and he was a bit wobbly - siad he had to celebrate the end of his exams somehow!! He was on good form though and kept DD and her pal entertained.

    Not sure what I will be doing this weekend, the weather isn't too good at the moment but may put the towels out anyway for an airing.

    Hope your weekends are good, take care. XX

    Morning Troops :wave:

    My you have been chatty this morning :D Will catch up in a minute.

    Had DC2 up half the night with a nose bleed. But it did mean they all slept in till 9am :T and gave us a lie in.

    Have got up, all had breakfast. Brood into the bath. Have baked some GF fairy cakes and made some GF sandwiches and packed a little lunch box. Wrapped a present and written a card. Got DC3 dressed in his party clothes. DH has taken DC3 to the party. I am going to have a shower in a minute. DC2 has a party this afternoon so will do a lunch box for him then. Card and gift card to be written later.

    DH and DC1 are off to a Scouting event tomorrow where they may be seeing the Cheif Scout Bear Grylls. DC1 is very excited as BG is his hero.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

  • morning all:D

    Traumatic end to the week again with DS going back to school:o.....massive meltdowns yesterday.
    had a bit of a lie in today as DS at his dads till tomorrow morning.
    Going to do meal plans and online shopping today and not much else.
    only £300 to pay at end of this month and thats one of the credit cards gone:T...considering it is the one that had a hammering when DH had car accident in Feb and it ended up with over £3000 on it it is not bad going.
    Trying to get DHs tax finished by start of July too.
    Now I have decided to finish work before summer hols I cant wait.
    I hate the thought of going there on Mon and just want to leave now:rotfl::cool:
    Wish I could think of a reason to have a sicknote for about 6 weeks;)

    We will be fine financially as after living round europe for a year and a half on virtually nowt a few years back am used to stretching the pennies!
    Noticed on church yesterday someone wanting light cleaning work done for 3 hours a week at £7 an hour....if things got really tight thats £85 a month which all helps so if we do find it a pinch I can always look to do that for a couple of people a week.
    I want to go before I have to pay my nursing council fees which I think are due in July...£90 roughly. if I did have to pay it I wonder if I could get it back if I didnt want to be on the register after that date.
    Am listing some camping stuff on Ebay today and other bits and bobs....it is soooooo time consuming:cool:
    Have lovely days all
    xx

    Ooh BB is after camping stuff......
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Snap Molly, I just was thinking the exact same thing ;)

    Lou, that's where I was going when I ran out the door, but it was too late when I got home to get back to you.xx

    Sorry will do a proper post. Im keeping my head down as very difficult at home right now with my eldest son :(:(:(. The situation is affecting my DD in particular and its only a week to her first exam:eek::eek::eek:

    Washing is being done as I speak and Kids Dad is doing DIY. I took it upon myself to wash my dogs this morning as well. Well DS3 had to catch Poppy first and then heave her into the bath as she is no lightweight:cool: After a struggle of wills - I won - she had her annual bath. Molly is much easier as she has one each week to keep a skin condition under control. So they look beautiful and fluff everywhere so DS3 is gonna push the vac around.

    Might make Pavlova later as got some english strawbs xx
