Toots~ you are gonig to run out of things to ebay soon!!

Greenbee~ where are you off to on your hols?

WM is on
Carpets cleaned from where cat threw up over night (yuk)
Ironing done

OH got back late from visiting his new gs, but tells me his son is down for yet another trip to Afgan, Feb time 2012, this will be his 3rd time out there, son's wife is already worrying herself silly with a new baby, and it is not doing her any good, it seems her parents are on their way this weekend to see her.

Sun is out here, so hopefully WM will have finished before I go to work and I can get that lot on the line.

Am up stupidly early and cant get back to sleep. was up just before 4am dropping OH off at the airport and then i went to the 24 hour tesco on the way home for some bits.

Im going to go and do my injection and then have a HHC in the kitchen and hopefully get it pretty presentable.

I know i bleeped about him yesterday but i do love him and we made up before he went away, and im getting a shiney sparkly eternity ring when he is home

Glad you made up. I'd had 3 kids and been married 10 years before I got my eternity ring

Online early to sort a payment, done now so off to do the morning routine, be back once the kids are at school.

Annoyed this morning, checked the bank online to find the c.s.a hasn't gone in so some of my DD's have bounced :mad:
A bloke from the c.s.a phoned last friday to tell me that my money had come in but the computer hadn't sent it out to me :mad: he said it would take 5 days. But it still ain't bloody in there!!

morning all :hello:
2 loads of washing on the whirly which just about fills it so will do another load and hope the first lot is dry by lunchtime.

my bathroom is teeny tiny and its dark blue tiles with silver paint wood work, I want to do the ceiling so it looks like sky, I like it its like being in the sea when you lie in the bath :rotfl:

I've not been reading, so hugs, spoons, sticks, mules & other flying essentials where necessary. Not done much flying either. Went to the seaside yesterday with DH & kiddos. Ate fish & chips, donuts and icecream. YEY! Twas yum!

I might be able to catch up soon, but i have a stack of ironing to do. Bought a 12-18 month bundle of clothing off ebay really cheap and there's a TON of it. Some really nice things too. Done all the washing and drying so now it sits in the ironing pile. I must get to it cause nothing else can fit in there!
