    Morning All

    Well a quiet morning here, so I just have time for a quick post. I normally manage to read what you are all upto, but do not often get a chance to post.

    OS is good here at the moment- I took my packed lunch to work yesterday, and walked across Hyde Park to get to work - I'm another one who needs to lose weight.

    Monday night I made spinch soup for DH lunch yesterday and my lunch today. DH eat it all yesterday - just before dinner I asked if he was hungry no he says - then eats chicken curry and says can I finsh off the soup - so no soup for me today.

    Well I'm home with the litilies today - Doctors this morning for the MMR and a mystery shop this afternoon.

    Just eating the chocolate and raspberry muffins I made for snack time

    CAt - sorting an endowment recalim is quite easy - just fill in the standard letter which is linked to from the endowment board - pm me if you need help - mine only took about 15minutes to do -once we found the paper work.

    Bad start here :(

    Ate my breakfast while wondering if I could manage without my post-food cig :think: YESSSSS :T Then miss tru was sick and mr tru was asking me if we should let her stay home from school, I said 'I dunno, why don't YOU make a decision for a change'. I went upstairs and she was sat on the floor, really pale and shivery, she can't even keep water down. Mr tru was still asking about school. I lost my rag with him and told him 'yes she's staying home, and YOU can ring the school, I'm SO SICK OF BEING THE SENSIBLE, ORGANISED ONE AROUND HERE' :mad: Then his mate turned up and offered me a cig and I had one :(

    Also, I'm sick to death of everything, if I want to do something it gets cancelled - because I always have to put someone else first. No-one EVER puts me first with anything, it's always about someone else. They need the shower first because they're in a rush. They need to be somewhere so I have to stop what I'm doing to help out. We put our decorating on hold to help someone finish theirs, did they offer to help us when theirs was finished? NO THEY DID NOT. Fook 'em all, I'm helping nobody, I've spent 16 years looking after everybody else, it's time I came first. Lets see how they manage now.

    not sure what today will hold for us. our kids are off school until next week.
    must do some studying and some shopping as the fridge is looking a bit bare.
    checked bank balance and not doing too badly. and I do have some asda vouchers to spend.

    I too have put on a horrendous amount of weight. tempted to look at exercise bikes today in the sales.

    Hello everybody,

    Well it's been of those :mad: days here. DH did the feature tile around the top of the tiles today. I got up there after 9am and he said he didn't like them, and then pulled them all down again. Words were said from me :D which I won't repeat. Came home is a huff and tackled the washing. My washing machine is playing up again. :rolleyes: Oh goody.

    Went back to the house & we put up the panel splashbacks in the kitchen. They looked fab. ;) Then I had to make a trip down to the dump. Jumped out the Kombi right into a hole of watery mud. :mad: Just one of those days.

    Tonight need to go back to house again to continue with painting trims etc. Got a cherry cobbler in the oven for pudding Brandy custard was reduced to clear yesterday so hopefully it should go nice with it.

    Better get going. Hope you all have a nice day & the one's who are still coping with the flu are feeling better today. Byeeeeeeeee
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Morning all.

    Hope everyone had a nice christmas and New Year. First time on here this year and I'm not even going to attempt to catch up with everything as I have jobs to do :o:rotfl:

    Only got back from MIL's yesterday after spending New Year there. Loads of washing to do, and then DD went and spilt a milkshake over herself/sofa/lap-quilt/floor/rug :rolleyes:

    I got a couple of really nice pressies for Christmas from the IL's for a change :D 2 WI cookery books (jams preserves etc and a low-fat family cookbook :D), and electric steamer which has to work out cheaper than putting our hob on and an ice-cream maker :drool: They certainly make a change from loads of smelly that I can't use and clothing that isn't me :rotfl:

    Off to have a look at the Flying challenge as OH is back at work today and DD is off to school tomorrow :j I do enjoy having her home, but her and OH home for 2 weeks together :eek: Just glad OH doesn't get all the school holidays off :rotfl::wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Good morning everyone. Have to say that this is the earliest I've been up in the last fortnight. DD is not back to School until Monday but has dancing classes from today until Saturday so I thought it would be good chance to practice getting up earlier. DH has been good and taken the dogs for a walk and then DD off to dancing. DS still in bed and grumbling because I woke him to get the laptop.

    Just a normal morning really. Have unloaded the dw and cleaned the sink in best flylady fashion. Have stuff to take to the skip this morning and then I intend to continue tidying the bedroom. I'll also have to go buy my first lot of groceries since Christmas.

    The sky box isn't receiving a signal so at least I wont be distracted by it.

    Aussielass - that cherry cobbler sounds yummy, have you the recipe?
