Busy day on your diary Mrs P
Hope you DD has a fab time away, so lovely to leave you all notes. Smiling at you sending her texts so you dont forget, so nice to read how close you all are
:T to DD for her passing exam too!
Thought i was missing out on 50 shades so just borrowed from a friend who thought it was fab...will have to find some time to read it though! Work is so busy at the moment.
My OH is self employed too, only for about 2 years now and it was so nerve racking at the beginning after we had been used to having a regular wage. Just took on premises so back to worrying about paying all the bills. I thought he worked long hours til I read about you and Mr P :eek:

Granny, you are such a naughty Granny. Dont you know that Grannies shouldnt read such naughty books, let alone being greedy and buying three at once !!! :rotfl:
:rotfl: I'm a very well behaved non shreddie knitting Granny :rotfl:
Well done to DD1 and how cute you are over DD2, I hope she has a fab time. I love how close you are, it makes me remember those lovely days when my 2 DC still lived at home.
I had awful empty nest syndrome when DD left home and all I could think was it won't be long before DS goes too and leaves me at home all alone with the Grumpy G1t :rotfl:Targets

Princess it has been busy over here today . Lovely to hear from you again ! DD1 found another note in her bedroom when she came home from school, but this was a reminder to feed the bunny and give him some exercise while she is gone ! Well doen on your OH to sticking with the self employment for the last couple of years, I hope things are goign well for you both. Yep our hours are pretty crazy, but you do what you ahve to do dont you ?!
HH - Dont apologise, I loved you lowering the tone of my diary, which as you are aware is always very clean and serious !!:rotfl:I think the Tena Ladies / Groupies have enjoyed it also and its lovely to have a good old laugh. Mr B is suspiciously quiet, I wonder if Mrs B is reading it too or has decided to keep his head down for this particular conversation ?!! Missing you Mr B if you are reading, but I know you have loads going on !! The Chinese went down a treat, if anyone has a spare TEnna going begging G0ks Book is fab, everything is so easy and tasty, the family have never eaten so well. I even ended up giving my dinner away one day last week to the girls as there wasnt enough for leftovers , so in the end I gave them mine to share ! We had some of Pappa Wans ( renamed Pappa Pinots!!) Pork leftover from yesterday so we ate that with the Chow Mein. The Cat (who doth shall remain nameless) enjoyed Papas Pork as well .
Granny - No protesting ,we know you have a naughty streak !! I am going to be terrible when my girls leave for good. I hate it even if they are away at sleepovers. I still go into the bedroom and pull their curtains for them at bedtime it makes me feel better. Thank goodness for phones though as they always text to say goodnight. Exceot for DD2 this week of course as phones re banned which I do agree with, but still hate it. Her inbox will be very full when she gets home. I have started writing her a little diary of our day and our news , so she has something to read when she gets backText a couple of mums to see hwo they were feeling but I can safely say I think I am the sadest Cookie out there. I knw osh eis having a fab time, but I would have loved ot have just kissed her goodnight. She has her Teds for Company though !
Was so lovely to have Mr Pinot hoem today in between meetings, paperwork and his work calls but he was still sort of here and did eat with us, miracle in itself. The job for tomorrow was confirmed in t e end, but for once looks to be a short day, only about 8 hours which is good. His car goes in for an MOT tomorrow so keeping fingers and toes crossed there.
Oh have about 15 items on ebay, 4 ended tonight with only one selling sadly, and when I looked the buyer was in Germany despite saying I will only ship to the UK, had the same thing last week with a buyer in Hungary, makes me mad !! :mad:
Anyway enough burbling. I am trawling my way around the diaries, cant sleep due to the silly back , despite taking yet more drugs, the pain wont go away , so I thought I would catch up with everyone I have been neglecting !
Hope you are all sleeping soundly xxxLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Thankyou L, I went to bed at 7am and as Mr Pinot was still here this morning he dragged DD1 out of bed and kicked her off to school, so I got a couple of hours in the end xxLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:
