    Morning all :wave:

    Back in bed with my pint of tea. Boys are currently on their 2nd breakfast and paper-boy (next door's lad) has just caught sight of me in my gorgeous polar bear PJ's (think old, faded and shrunk :D)

    I have been "summonsed" to my mother's today so that she can talk at me and shout/rant/rave/cry - you get the drift. Hmmmm - like I haven't thought of the impact of our separation on the boys!! Thought of little else TBH. Then I have to sort out how we are going to tell the boys - mind you, as Mr TM is away till tomorrow, I hope that he will agree with the way I have thought about. He is still being friendly about everything - but as I'm not intending to "screw" him over money or stop him having the boys, lets hope it stays that way.

    So, jobs for today - will do a bit of hoovering and bathroom needs cleaning. Will give it a deep clean while I'm at in and may even tidy the airing cupboard (I can't shut one of the top cupboards as the bedding has fallen forward) BM has just finished and DW needs emptying, so not a lot to do really. I'm sure I can find some decluttering to do though. :)

    So, hope everyone is OK. ((hugs)) to anyone in need - I'll try to keep up with what's going on, but can't promise I'll have time every day.

    VickA - welcome back, the photos for the london meet are on that thread sorry cant do links

    Feeling quite energetic and postive this morning thanks to having a very lazy day yesterday. Have cleaned kitchen & emptied DW. Not enough washing for a full load as of yet. Will finish on here then go and swish bathrooms and cloakroom. Then will straighten hair and be at Asda for opening time. Just need a few bits - packed lunch stuff and we see if any meat is on special for lunch today. This afternoon will be doing all the ironing and sometime today will take puppy for a walk. It isnt sunny here at the moment but heres hoping.

    Snowy - hope you get your job situation sorted.
    PP - glad you were there for your sister, it is hard when its family but Im sure she will improve day by day

    Snoozer - Hope you feel lots better soon.

    Off now - have a great day

    Morning Everyone!

    Sitting here with my cuppa and my haircolour on (hide those grey things!) the time between colours seems to be getting shorter and shorter!:rolleyes: :rotfl:

    I was so fidgety last nite, you know when you've got things to do but you just can get into doing anything?! suppose by back hurting all the time doesnt help! So just gave in and watched tv!

    If its sunny we might take kids out for a bike ride - but it seems to be getting darker now!

    ((hugs)) to all those in need today! especially snowy & TM!


    Times up got to rinse my hair off now!
    pop back later

    Morning all, it's bright and sunny here in the North West.

    I've been and unlocked the shop....only 3 people waiting at the door today...honestly, don't these people have beds, and picked up a paper on my way home.
    Lamb in the s/c for tea and I've checked my e-bay listings, I must get some more 'treasure' listed.
    Yesterday's promise to do some ironing failed, but our new bed is being delivered on Friday, so I will have to put my A into G and blitz that bedroom.

    DD is playing golf this afternoon, I think I will go out too and see if I can drag Mr Twit along.

    Love and hugs to all. :grouphug: I will be back later to catch up.

    Hi and Happy Chinese New Year:)

    Up fairly early too

    Managed to sleep with OH for the first time in years. There was hardly any noise. He did nick all the covers tho and it was a cold night:(

    He has snored very loudly for years and has a CPAP machine from his sleep study. He hasn't snored since he had it and slept really well.

    A cold, sunny frosty morning but no viewings:( so will take it easy today. Still got a cold and we went out for a drive to look at cars yesterday and ate out.

    Got steak for dinner tonight, will do with noodles and a Chinese style sauce.
    An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T :o :rotfl: :rotfl: :p :eek::mad: :beer:

    Hello everyone, I hope you are all well.
    VickyA, I thought you dealt with the potential viewer well,It must be very unsettling for you at the moment.

    SnowyOwl, you take as many duvet days as you need, the housework will always be there waiting.

    Kazonline,I know exactly what you mean.My daughters walk around without hardly looking up when they are playing on their DS`s.I have had to make them put them away at times.

    Pennypincher,sounds like you have been extremely busy physically and emotionally, I hope your sister feels better soon.

    Ticklemouse,All the best with the meeting at your mum`s. Stay calm , I am sure she will be fine and is just worried about you all.

    Well today I have to get some shopping. I need to wash some bedding and remake some beds.Youngsters could do with a trip to the park but its not easy getting there as the most decent one is miles away and my 4 year old complains if he has to walk too far. So might end up kicking a ball around the garden with them. Hugs to everyone, have a great sunday.Love Elaine.

    Morning all
    well last night SOMETHING woke me up but not enough to investigate - wish I had - there is a temporary traffic light with stand in my front garden - I have no idea what to do with it - any ideas? shall I call the police?
    2yoDgs has just had a bath with 10yo dd and is running around in the nicky-nacky-nude refusing to get dressed. DD has gone to pack a bag - she is spending the afternoon and night with a schoolfriend and then they will drop her off at my dds in the morning. On the way to w**k tomorrow i will drop off another overnight bag as a different friend is picking her up from dds in the afternoon for another sleepover. On the way back from w**k I will pick up the first bag and pack it for the hospital on wednesday - what its like to be popular huh!

    have a good day

    Morning All

    Back at work for a change! Feeling very tired today as I went out clubbing last night for the first time in yonks. Apparently I have a lovely bum, or so some guy told me:rotfl:

    I'm cooking my first ever roast dinner later:eek: so this should be interesting

    I also need to load the car up ready to do the recylcing after work tomorrow

    Other than that, not much planned really

    Hope everyone's ok and hugs to whoever needs/wants one
