Pigpen - hope you, the bump and the brats are all well (not that they are brats, they are lovely - but all kids are just called brats :cool:) xx

thank you.. I'm fineish.. my kidneys work so I'm happy just my back and pelvis need replacing!

Beasts are all good thanks.. DS1 is even better now he moved out again .. DD1 finishes college today until September.. :eek: Wonder how much that is going to cost me (no college = no EMA = scrounging daughter = sod off and look for a little job!!)

(I'd prefer them to be called Brats to being called kids tbh.. but i am odd apparently I hate to hear children being called kids!)

Someone kind just stuffed a charity shop bag through my door.. I have 2 now.. both from the same charity so i'll try to get those filled later.. I NEED some painkillers for my back and still haven't got any.

i need to ring a million people oday o I suppose i should get on wiht that!

Physio
Solicitors
hospital to rebook the anomaly scan I accidently cancelled yesterday.. oops! (they asked which appointment I wanted to cancel I said as far as I am aware there is only this one booked and she said no there are 3 I said cancel them all.. silly me!)

there were others I can't recall right now.

I need to clean my keyboard too and it is skipping half the letters I hit and I am fed up of editting and going over and over correcting it all.. my right shift is hit and miss too!

I think the oven would look better if I had left the ovenpride on longer but I was impatient to see what it would look like. It definately needs doing again, can't decide whether to just get someone in now and then keep on top of it. I may try it once more first, leave it on overnight, and cunningly do it sometime OH will be off so he has to help :rotfl: I am using it tonight so it will be interesting to see if it still smokes and smells and how much. The colour coming of it was gross and I hadn't used it for ages, just washing it with soapy water which was coming off clean...maybe it wasn't :eek:

afternoon all,

well dd didn't wake at all last night :j i still woke a few times though, expecting her to be up, how annoying!!

so far today have wm x3 and all hung out on line, s&s kitchen, loaded DW, taken dd to baby sensory class, picked up the dog's food from supermarket (forgot it when I did the last shop) and started packing for our weekend away.

off to a friends for coffee then need to
unload DW
walk dog
finish packing for the weekend
finish clearing up the glass from the lawn
pot on my plug plants (they won't last the weekend)
cook dinner
and hopefully tackle a couple of things from todays list, although I'm not hopeful,

then we leave for my mums in Kent tonight, off to the Chelsea Flower show tomorrow for my birthday, I can't wait

catch you all later x

Hello Flyfriends.

Toots I love the bath chair! (The real one, not the fanciful Valli-inspired one).:D I want one *stamps foot and then wishes she hadn't, cos it hurt.*:cool: Seriously, I do wonder how much longer Mr LW will be able to continue craning me out of the bath; although he's fit, he's ter-twiddly-umpty-one now, and one has to realise he's not going to remain fit and strong forever.:o

Jojo well done on rescuing the bumblebee;:o it's the sort of thing I do – I've wasted half an hour catching bees that have got indoors before now, and evicting them safely back to the garden.:D

Mummyyof5 Hoppy Birdday.:bdaycake:

*Waves rolled-up newspaper at dancemum's BD*:o

Of the week's lists, all that remains to be done is put a duster round the bedroom and spare room, so I'll do that shortly; I've spent a good hour or so grappling with the accounts spreadsheets; Mr LW's been paid so next month's direct debit money needed allocating,:eek: my pension has gone into my account, and there were some bills to download and check,:cool: and I shall have to work out when best to order our Euros for our trip to Belgium.:o

Jojo_the_Tightfisted

Well, got as far as tea and toast, then it all seemed to grind to a halt.

[tries to force herself to shift]

DW is the next target as without it going on, I have no clean cups (especially as I'm one down again).

Last night's wet washing is now dry enough to chuck into the TD, as it looks like it is about to rain again, so rescued that lot and picked up a few things out there whilst I was in the area.

My vase is ready and awaiting some flowers, I am going to use the distilled water from the TD to see if that makes any difference to them.


I really need to make my bed once the DW is going.


ETA: change of plan. I have a parcel to collect. What a shame. I might just have to return via the florist.

[looks out of window at menacing skies]

Hmmm. I may also need to get changed when I come back. Oh well, never mind.

Hello! So far today washing is out on the line, washing up done, kitchen worksurfaces cleared, Mr order done and train tickets ordered (if you're down south look at the southern website for good offers as per Martin's email - I got a weekend return to London for £7.90 :money:)

greenbee - hope you're feeling ok and not too bored x

Prayers for the family of mummyslittleboy - so sad x

It's quite laughable in a way - I'm 8" shorter than him, but have longer legs than him!:rotfl:

I have short legs for my height - a college friend was 9 inches shorter than me but had 4 inch longer legs!! Buying tops can be fun as they're often too short! And don't get me started on pyjamas!!!!

mummyof5 - Happy Birthday x
