Back..

I got some superduper bargainous deodourants in Boots.. reduced to half price.. so of course I cleared the shelf!! I got some hair removal cream for DD1.. she wants to wear vest tops but has groovy armpit wigs!! (barf!!) so they need to go and I don't want her using a razor just yet. Her bras we ended up buying.. she was wearing a 30A and has a 32B now.. and they are so much prettier than the 'first bra' range so she is more than happy.

I got a new cardy from evans.. bit big (16 is the smallest size they do in there!) I also got some fleece all in one pj's for DD4 for next winter reduced from £18 to £6 in BHS.. plus my 15% discount they'll do fine.. I got her 3 lol. I got DD1 some trousers and tops as well as she is hvaing a growth spurt and nothing fits any more.. it also means I get to clear out her wardrobe and sell some more stuff!! We got a card for the lady whose hubby just died and a card for my sister as she moves into her first home by herself tomorrow... oh I got a nightie for DD3 and some trousers for DD2 as well.

Bed time in here so I need to go pj everyone.. and see if they ahve actually tidied anything int he girly room, it is really disgusting!

This little one seems to have got the idea of potty training!! .. so I think I may have bought my last pack of nappies last weekend!!

DW on again.. WM will be on in a bit once they are all in bed.

I am considering going to the pub again.. I am becoming such a dirty stop out!!! lol I might just go to bed though.

pigpen

Hey girls.. that TNG is a bit of alright (mind you we know I am NOT picky lol ) next time he offers to come shopping with me it'll be a one way trip for him!! lol.. he even buys his share of beer!!

Punky

Evening all!

Lil_me - thanks very much for the lists this week, the extra bits worked really well and my house looks great

Pigpen - sorry I missed bra shopping. I'm a bridesmaid for my sister in May and need a strapless bra. The dress is emerald gren. What colout is yours?

Hex - great to have you back. I found moving to a bigger house a struggle to cope with at first. It's taken us over 2 years to get round the garden once! And I've found that through flying I have less clutter and the rooms have become quicker to clean over time so I can get them done. I'll join you on a body declutter. I've just joined WW and lost 5 1/2 pounds this week and recently rediscovered I have a bikini line I hope TNG isn't reading this...

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and your families this weekend.

Lots of love

scaredy_cat_2

well what a day!! loads happened on here today - pigpen sounds like you had a good day!!

Nicki can i ask what you do for job - i am intrigued!! (don't worry if prefer not to say - just tell me to bog off!!)

well my kitchen is a tip!! i left it at half 9 this morning and got in at 6:15 leaving it in a tip after cooking pizza, cakes and preparing a picnic but we've had a great day. we went to paignton zoo using free tickets off of miles tea - and it was lovely and sunny and quite warm really. trouble is i am sooo tired now and just want to go to sleep but feel i need to attack kitchen at least - it will be awful to come down to tomorrow!! and yesterday the house looked beautiful - perhaps i'll set the timer - that always motivates me!

lots of !! as can't be bothered to go advanced for smilies etc!!!!!!!!
