Patch table cloth

Morning all, kids just up as am i. They've been fed and heading out to the garden soon. Hubby spent most of yesterday sleeping, i think the kids have tired him out. :rotfl:
House not looking too bad this morning. So i'll try eating a few frogs today.
Took my sister last night to go see a pram, it was like new (think it was used twice) would cost £400 in the shop's, we got it for £100. Complete bargain and very :money:. One sister went home very happy. So plan is to keep an eye out for anything else she needs.
Haven't caught up on the thread so hugs, spoons and sticks where needed. I may not be around much for the next couple of months, really gonna get some of the big jobs done in the house and try and keep hubby right. Hope everything goes well for everyone. :beer:Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
Morning all

DD is going away today
X is coming to pick her up about midday, downside is all her T-shirts and jeans are either in the "to mend/adjust" or ironing pile so I'm about to make a start on them. I'll keep ironing until I've cleared the pile, its 2 collapsible crates and growing :eek: Then I have something new but more important to sort out
I've just bought the slimming world programme from ebay and its arrived this morning so after the ironing I'm going to sit down and go through it all and see what I have to do
I will loose this excess weight :j:j
Off to sort out this ironing & put some more washing in. :wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
Gooooooooooooood morning!
Not been here for ages, been on the "messy" board and just about feel qualified to flit between you both!
Trouble is you are all so interesting I have to be firm and switch off puter or nothing will get done.:p
Slept really well last night so almost 100% again!
I am going to knuckle down and get on with things today.
So far:
Had brekkie (v important I tend to skip meals at the weekends)
Sorted clothes for charity shop
1 lot of washing
Had a battle with a contact lens (1 always goes in properly the other never does)
2 cups of coffee
Pigpen I see KH is still............................a KH. No ideas how to help there................sorry!
Lamewolf - massive hugs
Toots - massive hugs
Grateful - how is that gorgeous bundle of puppy fluff?
Everyone else..............also massive hugs! :rotfl:
off we go!
Have a good one peeps

msgnomey - feeling very cross on your behalf. Is there a hidden agenda? Hope your new role is right for you.
cy - well done to your DD1. And I'm sure DD2 will be fine, despite the nerves.
I was asleep just after 10pm last night and finally crawled out of bed just after 9am.
Plan for today:
breakfast
go into our little town with DS2 after I've updated the budget - will have to drive as the parcel at the post office is too heavy
Laundry
bath
Flying
School stuff
HW with DS2
lunch
tea
Try to talk to DS1 who is at risk of completely flunking his year at college. He missed a meeting yesterday and there was a letter in the post for him this morning :eek:
decide whether I'm going out tonight
I think that's it. Have a good day, everyone. x0 -
well I know it was a flylady 'older' than me who also pins...
Is it not Soappie?
Seems i'm not the only bad flylady:rotfl: I had such good intentions at the start of the week and then it all went downhill. Must try harder next week.
Thats rubbish Msgnomey:( Hope your new role is ok for you.
Hugs Lamewolf:A
Great article Cyclingyorkie, hope they get the support that they need.
Having a quiet day today before i go to work.
WM is on, will potter about and tackle a few hotspots but no major flying.The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0
