    My sister has spent 2 days in hospital then went home without telling anyone what was going on. I am tired of her games, it's a military plan to organise my family and she leaves me hanging. So inconsiderate. She was back in work this morning. Baby still not making an appearance.

    Very pleased your DH is home JulieJim.

    Pigpen your KH in unbelievable. Im glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humour.

    Vanilla enjoy your weekend of celebrations.

    Afternoon all

    Just pottering around doing bit and bots.

    DH has changed the spark plug on the mower and cut the grass
    I did a bit of weeding and potting on.

    Dropped DH and boys at football match (Stevenage) and bought some fish cook in bags from Dunelm, so much cheaper than the lakeland ones.
    Stopped at the nursery and bought 3 bargain plants which just need bringing on.

    Just having a cuppa then I should get another HH in the garden before heading off to pick them up again.

    Ooh, I like the idea of purple boots!:o

    Mr LW's done loads of Flying today - Dysoned the whole bungalow, pegged out the bedlinen when the WM had finished, brought it in when it was dry, helped me get our dins ready (we had tagliatelle with tinned toms and veggie hot-dogs), cleaned out the compost caddy, and he's currently cleaning the bath lift.:A He also drove me to the bank to pay in a cheque, and did the weekly F&V run.:A I've..... put the Zoom Groom over a Lurcher who is shedding hair at an indecent rate, and that's just about it.:(

    Well i'm stuffed with cake LOL, Rhys is totally exhausted now and away for a wee nap. He got a bike and just said wow this is the best birthday ever (not that he's had many) LOL. So glad he enjoyed himself..:D

    I've cleared and cleaned the kitchen and livingroom so think i'll get changed into my old clothes and go mow the grass and spend some time in the polytunnel.

    Hex i still have my feeling but i can't let it ruin things for the kids so whatever will be, will be.

    Right i better shift...
    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.

    Hi everyone

    Fell a bit behind at the end of the week - had a meeting on Thurs night and a really bad case of CBA on Friday night but all the dailies were done.

    Been to Team valley today with mam ordering a new carpet for her - she got a dyson a few years ago and her carpet is now threadbare:o

    DD at metrocentre with DH handing out CV's to hopefully get a part-time job and DS at his warhammer thingymebob - so i suppose I could have a bit of a catch up on some of the lists, just need to get off my backside - so tired though, any length of time spent with my mother seems to drain me...

    On a more positive note there is no more paperwork to be shredded!!!!!:j:j:j -downstairs at least, going to get dh to go in loft when I'm at church tomorrow and bring a bag down then it'll will be back to my 10 per day:p

    Haven't really caught up with the thread but do want to say - Bossymoo, you're an amazing woman

    take care

    Hex so whatever will be, will be.

    .

    I know that and respect you hugely for it :A.

    I meant your Rhys morning sickness which only feels like a few months ago! I can't believe he is three already.

    Pottered mostly, and tidied/listed the freezer contents. Need to get through this month on as little a possible.

    Did lots this morning so now I'm extra tired. It looks like I've done very little but the mountwashmore is greatly reduced, fridge is sorted and more diet friendly, more paperwork sorted etc etc etc
