Going up to London with the children so will be back later. Hope everyone has a nice day.January Grocery 11/3740 -
About a ton of poo picked up the garden (didn't get out to the garden last week cos of the snow
), bunny cleaned out, black sacks out, food bin washed, had breakfast.
Kids are all getting dressed. I need to drop DD1 off at work, then pop into town as DS needs to get her birthday pressie (her birthday was 1/2!! - although she only came home last friday). I may let the kids get some paint out later
I may regret the decision :eek:
Just waiting for DD2 to bring down her washing & I will put on the WM. She has a couple of friends staying over tonight, so her room is tidy
DD1 will need to sleep on the sofa tonight, as she won't want to be up all night with the 16 year olds.
I hope those who are meeting up today have a good time. I would love to meet some of you one day, as i feel like I 'know' you already.
Happy Birthday Vanilla :bdaycake: I hope you have a lovely day

Morning all
Happy Birthday Vanilla hope you have a great day. :beer:
Big hugs dancemum i can kind of sympathise my period is very late and despite OH having the snip i did a test yesterday. It was negative and i was just a teeny tiny bit disappointed. It would be hugely impractical to have another one anyway but because he's had the snip i know there's no chance ever it's a bit final.
I've sent Ds1 off on the bus by himself for the 1st time. He wanted a lift but it would have taken 2hrs all in all there and back. He's text me to say he's on the bus. It was funny because i had to explain everything to him even how to get off the bus. I didn't learn to drive until he was 8 so we used to go on the bus all the time then he just can't remember.
I want to have a good clean today so we can spend the rest of the week doing something other than worrying about cleaning.
