    Morning everyone, I was here last week for one day but then I disappeared - I think this seems to be my usual routine at the moment..lol. I am going to try and make sure it isn't like that for this week.. Although those that know me on here will understand I will be back to my old self shortly :D

    Lovely to see you Anw'sMum :D How is everyone doing?

    Just for you
    L-L :D

    Welcome to the newbies, and returners :D

    Well the washing is on the line, put that out at 8am and froze my fingers putting it on the line. It was 5 degs at the time and is only 9 degs now, so not sure if it will dry. Still it will give it a good blow about. Have another load going around in the machine but by the looks of the sky I don't think that will be on the washing line.

    Need to tidy up the living room and pop the hoover round as I have a friend coming round at about 4ish with her little dog. We are looking after her dog for 3 weeks while her and her husband are in the States visiting their children. My dogs will love having Bella here as they look after after her so well.

    Well better drag myself into the shower as I am still here in pj's drinking my fourth cup of tea..lol

  • Good afternoon :D

    Happy Birthday Lady Liberty :)

    This morning I loaded the DW & put it on, washed up, had a quick S&S of the kitchen. Need to do it properly soon. I also hung out the cosy toes & changing bag that I washed ('new' buggy bought from FB group yesterday). I need to give the buggy a wipe over, but it is pretty good really. I also washed some dog bedding, that he had been sick on, but it didn't come up very well :( I am going to rewash that (and bin it if it doesn't come up better) and then run the WM through a clean cycle.

    Been to a new toddler group this morning, and Little Miss Sunshine is chilling next to me :D

    Off I go then....
