    Morning All

    damp & miserable here in Surrey, so that is probably what central London is going to be like for our meet later. Was really really looking forward to it, then yesterday the washing machine shredded the top I planned to wear today & then I had a huge row with hubby (who slept on the sofa & is currently washing the car in the rain to avoid me) so this has rather taken the bloom off today for me. Hubby will get over it but the washign machine is really winding me up, it keeps shredding my & Spuds stuff, never hubbys, and always the good stuff! Grrrrrrr:mad:

    Anyway, this morning is bake a sultana cake & visit neighbour with it, then this afternoon is off to London (hopefully not topless.....I'm sure I'll find something else to wear!). Got chicken casserol out of the freezer for Hubby & Spuds dinners.

    See some of you later, have a good day to those not comming:T

    In England we have Mothering Sunday & Father Christmas, Mothers day & Santa Clause are American merchandising tricks:mad: Demonstrate pride in your heirtage by getting it right please people!

    Good morning everyone,

    ((HUGS)) Shez - how horrible, some little b****rs need a good sorting out down your way, hope you will be ok xxx

    also ((HUGS)) Snowy xx

    Ageandjo - yes, we are off to watch Plymouth play Sunderland this afternoon, DSs footie match has been cancelled this morning (due to rain, still not a flake of snow round here, much to my 2s disgust) so we can have a lazy morning!!!

    Well, as i just said, a lazy morning, then taking DD to my friends (the one who is emigrating to Oz in just over a week) whilst DS and i go to the football - its nice to spend some time with just DS, and DD actually has a party tomorrow so having a proper mummy and son weekend, which ive been looking forward to, as i dont get to spend much time with just me and DS.
    Nothing else planned for today, house is still tidy after my flyladying last week and as we are out, it should stay that way!!!
    Right, going for a bath and hair wash.
    Hope everyone has a lovely time at the meet.
    Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    oh well have a good day everyone enjoy the snow those who have it and hope those feeling a unwell feel a bit better
  • Just been catching up with yesterday's thread.

    Crazychick - no need for apologies. You helped in a healthy debate about food. Several of us are now better informed to make choices about food, which can't be a bad thing.

    Our choir master (whos' a music teacher in real life) taught one of the Kaiser Chiefs. That makes me practically related, doesn't it? I have *I predict a riot* on my MP3, and often sing it at full belt, especially when DS isn't tidying his room.

    Morning everyone :)

    Hope all who are going to the meet have a camera with them, shame about the awful weather.
    Shez hope you get the car sorted soon.
    Catowen - my partners boss will be at that match too, supporting Sunderland unfortunately, never misses a match

    Right, well it's a soggy damp day here, I have to get DP up around lunch time (he came in at 4am when I was up) kids are fed up as they thought it would be snowing. I think it'll be rainy day things like crafts, baking etc this afternoon for us.

    Hope everyone has a lovely day.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Good morning all.
    Had a nice long lie in this morning, only just go up :) The weather looks quite nice here, so I'm very tempted to go down to the beach and take some photos, as it's been a long time since I've done that.

    Not sure what else is on the cards for today, need to do some sorting out of stuff, but other than that hopefully it'll be a nice relaxing day.

    Have a good day everyone, hugs to those that need them

    good morning everyone]
    Is it the meet today? WOW I hope everyone has a good time, have a drink for me, I would have loved to have been there but of course I have to w**rk
    shez that is awful, you'd think they had something better to do with their time wouldn't you?!
    yesterday I had a quick read through the flylady thread and it made me want to do some housework!:eek: (I can't join in as only have internet access at work!) so when I got home at 7pm last night, I tidied, hoovered and washed,the living room carpet, (it was a MESS!)my bedroom, kids bedroom, washed up-and it only took me until 9:30 but then I felt I had done plenty! lol:o
    I have put some jeans on that I bought the other day for work,(we canwear casual clothes on a wknd) and when I tried them on they were great but now they are falling down and when I pull them up they are too short!:o :rolleyes:
    why does that always happen?!
    well I have a busy day today I have to leave work on my dinner break to take OH to work then take kids to my dads (usual babysitter has gone away), then get everyones dinner at work!:eek:
    hopefully when I go back to my dads to pick kids up he'll make me some tea!:o ;) :rotfl:
    have a good day everyone.
