    Morning all, such a windy morning...:eek:
    I managed to get the boys bedroom done yesterday and we collected 2 new hens..:j All 4 are now back into the chicken cope.

    Plan today will be our bedroom or kitchen and then DD is at her club tonight. Right i'm away to make a start....
    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.

Need to find last years diary and receipts cos the housing benefit want this years accounts :eek: by the 7th May :eek: I haven't done any of it :eek: :rotfl:pffft.....just another thing to add to my to do list, supposed to be going to Blackpool to see my family this weekend and really CBA, I have a ton of stuff that needs to be done, suppose I'll be glad I went when I'm there. Wish I had a partner in crime tho to take the reins now and again.

    I'm busy battling with littley about returning to school today (she's a bit better but is trying it on. Btw, thanks kaz x) *sigh* it really sets you up for the day doesn't it! :mad: I can hear her banging about so she's getting ready.

    Will leave a note for teenie to empty the DW when it's finished and to hoover through, I'm at work all day again today and DD1's coming at 4 so we'll be out and about.

    Mumto5 Sounds like it's going well, I'm sure they'll keep you on, Boss bought you a Kitkat so he likes you at least :T

    morning all
    hope everyone is well and the poorlies are starting to improve.
    serves me right for being smug about doing everything bar swapping the bathmats over yesterday went up at night to find someone had kicked a 1/2 empty cup of tea over on the mat and not even bothered mentioning it so i could put it in soak!:mad:
    so far today packed boys off to school and DH and youngest DD off to work, done loads of post, made boys beds and opened their curtains, grabbed any dirty washing and put it in laundry basket, put all of last nights ironing away. going to wash up grab a coffee and make a start on our room.

    Morning all

    The Vallikids are at home today as it's target setting day, when they have individual appointments with their form tutors.
    DS has gone to his, I will go and see his tutor later;)
    I will go with DD to hers then on to Meadowhall:eek:

    Just had a MAJOR panic; mum dropped in as she always does on a Thursday, couldn't find her car keys. She brought more stuff out of her attic - stuff she held onto (why?) from my childhood...
    anyway plan is to get it on ebay to pay the rest off for the kitchen (next project is windows) and, as she was going :eek:no car keys. Everywhere looked at, ebay box looked through then she wondered if she had put them in MY handbag...
    yes:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    well they are both black leather...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Anyway I might be able to get into the bathroom now, to clean it.

    HHC anyone?

    Sagaris - someone was talking about a recently-lost beagle on radio 2 this morning - same one?
