    Happy Birthday Bonnie, have a super day x :bdaycake:

    Anyone want a cat? Everywhere I look, turn, move, she's there. Whinging! :mad:

    We seem to have run out of towels?? So teenie cleared his room and I went into littley's and we have 9! So they're waiting to be washed then dried, then folded, then put away. *sigh* it never ends does it lol

    I've hoovered right through downstairs and done the skirts whilst I was at it, Cottage Pie is warming through in the oven yum! CBA to do home-made yorks so frozen it is, nobody wants it anyway other than me so it makes no odds. I will thoroughly enjoy it. :p

    Been super busy all weekend.......can't wait to go to work tomorrow for a rest :rotfl:think I'll make a brew.

    Hi all, been MIA due to our livingroom finally being started and there is dust everywhere but fingers crossed it will all be finished by next weekend. :D

    Got a lovely surprise this morning when PIL arrived up with a new puppy (collie) they're calling him Fred. Bo and Fred have meet and hopefully they'll get along. PIL lost poor Jack (collie) in febuary he was a good age and had a fantastic life. He was really suffering, he had an operation to try and fix what was wrong which seemed to make him worse and he had to be put down.:(They have found it very hard since Jack has been gone so i'm so pleased they decided to get another dog because they will give it a fantastic life. I'll get a photo up of Fred tomorrow. :D

    Dinner has been done here, eggs all eaten and kids now chillin.
    So i think while it is quiet i'll grab a coffee and get some flying done.

    Happy Birthday Bonnie :bdaycake:

    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.

    Well the guests have gone and the kids have left their mark! The playroom is a tip as they have just about emptied every cupboard :mad: We're meant to be having more guests tomorrow and they are super clean and tidy so I'll need to recover the playroom soon.

    Isn't it so much nicer when you have people to share your successes with :)

    Happy birthday Bonnie :beer:

    Evening all

    I've got washing dry today, been out for two walks (thought DH didn't want to go out so I did one on my own, then he did so I went out again). Cut the grass back and front and edged and swept up, then vacuumed right through downstairs.

    We're still eating from our bacon joint - roast on Friday, ham salad yesterday, ham egg and chips today and still enough left for sandwiches. Wouldn't mind a change tomorrow though!

    Hope everyone's OK :)

    Well, both tots were tired, so dunked in kitchen sink lol and in bed by 6.40, everything cleared away, had sweeper out and all done and dusted, cup to tea made, by 7pm!
    It's amazing how easy once you're on top of things...

    Tomorrow we are home alone until afternoon, when DS has a playdate with his young lady friend Caitlin. DD and I are invited too, which is nice. Thought I might try twinks hobnob recipe to take? Never made them before! I gather they don't need eggs. Hope not...

    Might see if the tots want to play upstairs in the morning, and I can sort another cupboard or give the bathroom a good do...

    Bank holidays don't exist here x

    i havent done much this week but it doesnt show thankfully. kept on top of the clutter and did my dailies but thats about it.

    next week though got to get the spare room in order, so going to go and have a quick blast of downstairs (its tidy, just need to quickly wipe kitchen sides down, make dinner, hoover through, dust living room and mop floors) then every night when B is in bed im going to do a bit in the spare room.

    Bonnie - Happy Birthday :beer:

    Claire - welcome to the [STRIKE]madhouse [/STRIKE]thread!!

    Hope everyone has had a Happy Easter day x

    I've managed to fill another charity bag and half a bin bag with more decluttering - I am being ruthless as I have 13 years of stuff to go through!

    Need to clear up and vacuum through tomorrow as I'm going away from Tues to Fri :D
