Jojo at least she is a very capable teenager and for that you should be very proud especially her comment about living in the real world. it just shows what an amazing job you have done raising her.

now if you were to send her my way i think i could broaden her education into scottish fare, deep fried mars bars are not a scottish delicy but tattie scone and black pudding is delish, along with lorne sausage and beef links mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm back again, had an awful week so chose to stay away a while. Had a night out last night & was able to let my hair down so I'm feeling a bit better

We have started he flooring & the dining area is done, under the stairs too so just the living room to do which DP said he will start Monday. I'm not 100% happy as I think we should have boarded it out first because the floor under is extremely springy, suppose time will tell. Having wall units that are over 2m long and need taking apart in sections is time consuming just getting the one emptied, apart then back together

Tomorrow DP is out but I'm staying in I think, just can't be bothered. Think I will work on emptying the wall unit in the living room to move and do the kitchen.

Oh & Pen Pen I hope Texas is after this storm has gone!

Hope you're all well xxx

She does love potato cakes - but a proper recipe would be enthusiastically accepted (although there would, I presume, have to be leftover potato for this? )

Jojo she sounds incredibly like my daughter who, at a much younger age insisted I teach her how to cook the stuff she liked - in case I died...

I have found some lurverly emoticons!


One for all and all for one! Muskehounds are always ready......


One for Piggers when we aren't working but are chatting....


One for the days when we flutter weakly rather than blitzing the place

....and one when we are doing a Piggers-style assault on the place....


....and two for when she realises I've just posted this about her...




One for dealing with children/teens -


One for when we get the odd troll on here....

One for when we have to deal with things that drive us mad..


And one for when one of our ladies is being picked on.....


And finally, time for a movie....


...and a Flylady Bash...

Those emoticons are pretty awesome - especially Dogtanian

Morning all.

We are off to Gatwick around 4 but first have to get the house tidy - a never ending job my family are just so messy!

DS3 has his first competitive football match today. Bad news is that we have to trek 50 mins to get to the match and 50 mins back again. He is very nervous and came in in floods of tears when he missed an open goal playing with the kids on our green. We quickly googled the good and the great doing the same thing and his tears dried up.

DS1 is being beastly, I am glad he is in an appartment with PIL. I need some breathing space he is just so rude.

Downstairs hard floors to wash and I want to wash our bedding this morning. Once everyone is up I will clean the en-suite. I will clean the family bathroom when DS1 has showered after his football.

I HAVE IRONED EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

If I don't get back on today I hope everyone has a nice week and I'll see you all Tuesday week when I'll be drowning in post holiday washing.

Up and at them this morning in the sunshine - already done a week3 of couch to 5k walk/run so legs are tired but rest of me is ok. Washing is on line already and emptying DW is next. Dh hs loafing in bed so I've fed icklies and they are busy playing castles for the time being.

Plan for today:

Recycle clothes/paper/books
15 mins x2 put away clothes in the right places
HHI for the week - ds starts school tomorrow so got to iron ickle uniform:(
School planning

School Evaluation form

That should give me plenty to go at!
Eat/drink/sleep also needed but not on list:p

Morning all

Uni visit went well yesterday, DS1 loved Birmingham and loved the course. He will need to work reallly hard to meet the requirements but at least that is a good way to focus.

My feet and joints are aching from the travelling, walking and I've picked up a sore throat (I usually avoid busy places and trains) and am spiking a temp so feel a bit bleurgh.

Dailies only today, plus ironing and laundry I think, there is always next week after all.

I'd have had a trip out Dusty if I'd have known you were going to Birmingham yesterday.
