    Good afternoon already

    Done the shopping, DW, WM and TD been on, dogs been out, need to collect the boys in a few minutes

    Trying to justify getting myself a kenwood chef, I've reserved it in Argos (£150 off) but I'm arguing with myself over it. Think I'll sort through bills first then decide. I've wanted one forever but even at £199.99 it's a lot of money :(
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Lil me - not helping at all but I love mine. Everything I use it for is unhealthy.......

    I am sorting out old paperwork, very bored now. Have lost a tax letter that I need to sort DHs refund and my tax return stuff but thought it best to clear away the old stuff before I file the last years worth or so. Things are now in date order so should be easier in future.

    Dear fat George was asleep in one of the drawers and I can't find her now. Hope she isn't in the back of them.

    Afternoon all

    Just spent a lovely couple of hours in the back garden clearing leaves and the mess left by DH when he chopped wood last week. It was blustery but nice to have some fresh air, towels on the line must be nearly dry. Queen Victoria had a lovely time too, she likes to be in the garden with somebody but mews here head off to let you know everytime she has climbed a tree.

    Cuppa next and bake some biscuits then hope to hoover out my car before dark.

    pigpen don't feel bad about not getting to the cranial osteopath for 3 months. DS3 woke every 30 minutes for the first 7 months, didn't thrive and needed bottle feeding. I felt like a total failure.

    When he was eight I took him to a cranial osteopath/chiro and he slept that night. I didn't dare go in his room because I thought they had killed him. It was the first time he had slept through the night!!

    He now takes himself regularly as it still makes a difference (he is 21). He knows when he needs to go back. So don't feel bad, you took her there very quickly :D

    I had planned to get DSs to clean out back porch and hen house. The porch door is damaged and the hens have been spending the day in there. It is smelly and needs swilling
    out and disinfecting. But the weather is atrocious, too cold wet windy to have the doors open:(

    Happy, you are doing well and you have a lot going on. Don't worry about not getting things done this weekend as it will all come around again next week. I hope your OH is feeling better soon.

    Hugs wendy, sounds like you need them. Maybe it is just a hormonal phase with DD. They do turn human again, honest :) Although it might not seem like it ATM.

    Have you tried freegle/Freecycle first. I got a 1980s model and it works great. And I can still get attachments for it. Not that I want to deprive you of a Kenwood Chef, I would never do that. Mine is the best I have ever had :)

  • Lil me, I'm no use, I would buy the kenwood as how often does it come round at that price? I use mine 3 - 4 times a week and it lives on the side and I wouldnt be without it.

    Right MIL has taken B for a walk so I'm going to go for a kip.

    Afternoon all, i've been up since 4.30am as OH was to go to Scotland for the football but he woke feeling very ill, weak and dizzy so he decided against it incase it turned into something worse.:(

    So OH went back to bed and i thought it would be a fine idea to stay up. Nothing much done except a wash load, dw load, bm on and lunch done. So when Rhys went down for a nap and OH got up i went for a kip.

    Plan now is to get the bread sliced and see what else can be done.

    Belated Birthday wishes, hugs, spoons where needed.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
