    Just been catching up on my survey sites. DH has put the ocado shop away, DS2 made the apple crumble..

    Off to bed now, must try and get some flying done tomorrow morning. Polly I like the results of flying too I think that is the best motivation.

  • Not had chance to do that much flying - it's just been one of those weeks where we've got lots on. But I have been organised enough to make tomorrow nights tea already. Dh is on beef stew which is in SC ready to turn on in the morning and i've got spicy lentil and potato casserole which is cooked and will only need reheating. The girls are with my mum and dad for tea so if I'm home from work early I'll get on with flying in the kitchen 'til it's time for Zumba. Fortunately no room is horrendous, they all just need a little attention.

    Off to bed now. I'll check back for a HHC tomorrow after work.

    Thanks for the help with the strike not had time to try it yet!! Loving this thread. Quick note to anybody lurking jump in and join. I've been following for only three days and everybody is really lovely and very helpful:-) but most importantly my house is looking so much better. Really after three days I wouldn't have believed the difference.
    Really really hoping I can keep this up. Hoping that with all your help I can. Thank you all.


    Sending lots of love to all those waiting for grandchildren, how exciting. Ours are wonderful (I'm biased obviously) Unbelivably wonderful.

    I am just hoping grandbeasts are less work than my own beasts... though I have a sneaky suspicion I am going to end up bankrupt with 3 times as much work as I will end up doing their hospital runs, shopping and childcare. I fully intend to interfere and my children know it lol.. :p

    Pigpen that made me chuckle. Three times the cuddles, the love you know you wouldn't have it any other way. I'm a very proud nanamia to two fabulous GDs :-)

  • I'm already costing my parents a fortune with Ben, but they love it. He is number 2 for them, but my 1st as my brother has a little boy. My mum especially is being more involved with Ben as says it's different when it's your daughter that's pregnant so I'm getting lots of welcome interference via phone.

    Flying wise have just stripped and changed my bed as got showered when changing ben.
  • wannabee_in_credit-Could it be caused by a cleaning product you're using? Certain perfumes can set me off.

    Pigpen - Brilliant pic:D
