    That reminds me I must do meal planning too, meant to do it yesterday, oops...

    Ah yes, the mother visit. I can imagine you're feeling a bit nervous/overwhelmed, but, hopefully, it won't be so bad, the pups will distract her [and you] I'll be thinking of you anyway!

    Hope you're all good

    Working today at gardening and wombling

    Hmm, the visit - last time she stayed with us DD was in my stomach, its been that long - will be fine to have a puppy to distract her!

    I've no idea why she's coming she just announced it - which is fine but strange.

    lunch of coffee and jaffa cakes here - which are not cakes despite what they say on the packet.

    Apparently (not really sure how true it is) there used to be a 'biscuit tax' for companies that made biscuits so Mr Jaffa used a bit of sponge and called them 'cakes' thereby avoiding the 'biscuit tax'!!!

    I like the story so I believe it's true but it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't (I can be quite guillable!)

    Hope mammy visit is an okay one for you.

    Lovely weather here x

    * I have just fainted * Think I may have to get the Dr out to Cheery, she regrets having CAKE. She must be seriously ill :( Never, in the history of MSE has she regretted cake :rotfl:

    Pippi - Is haggis paper trained or anything? Or are you taking him out regularly enough? Once I realised that cleaning up with kitchen roll was a game for Rodders and put him in the kitchen or garden while I cleaned up he stopped toileting in the house!

    :eek: To your mother visiting so regularly :rotfl:

    She means she wishes she still had it left for now ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
