    I was going to pop on here to say I'd done nothing today, but when I think about it...

    Washing x2 loads, out on the line to dry and ready to be put away in the morning.
    Washing #3 done and hung up inside.
    Dishes done.
    Catlitter tray emptied (Mr F did that one!)

    Went and treated myself too.....you will see in my signature that I've lost a wee bit of weight in the last year. I've still been wearing the pre-weightloss undies, so went to Bravissimo and was properly fitted for the first time in my life :o so have decluttered my bank account to the tune of £200. Worth every penny I have to say as The Girls look lovely :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Well done for spending your hard earned on some new smalls Flying Fresian. You've done fantastically well to lose so much weight. You deserve to splurge and treat yourself. I'm trying to decorate my bra for this time next week. I should have just set off on my 26 miles through London's streets. Butterflies are fluttering in my stomach just imagining it. It makes my fingers shake and I stab my fingers with the blinking needle! (or is that the wine);)

    Mumto5 - don't bother with too much decorating ... Chances are you'll need something warm to wear! You've done the training so you'll be fine.

    Have half unpacked, but that's all. Need to get things sorted out and ready to pack the next lot. Keep losing padlocks at the moment so need to find the ones that should be in the house...

    Morning all.
    Lounging in bed as littlest had me up since 4.40 yikes they are now playing in her bedroom causing untold mess.

    Made up spare bed last night, and emptied some cupboards over my bed - getting ready for my demolish and decorate job. Just need to swap some clothes about so everything I need is in spare room. Then sort through hubby's things. Have you noticed I keep putting this off?

    Apparently there is someone who makes teddies out of baby clothes, as a keepsake. Am going to ask if she'd do some from hubby's clothes. Was thinking one for each of the tots, a daddy teddy, one for me, and one for his parents to share. So I need to choose a few garments to keep for this purpose.

    I think then I'd be ready to let the rest go.

    So that is my mission for today, stiff upper lip, and sort his clothes!

    Morning ladies

    Been up a little while but have a banging head again, this cant still be a hangover from Friday :o I had loads to drink yesterday (non alcoholic!) and plenty of sugar to replace the losses. Well yesterday I dragged DD out and bought her a couple of pairs of jeans, poor girl was down to 2 pairs that fit her. She's only just turned 13 and is now in a size 12, is that about average - I really dont have a clue. I then spent 2 hours photographing my wardrobe so that I know what I've got instead of randomly buying stuff and not having anything to wear. Unfortunately none of the pics saved so I will have to do it all again but will use the camera next time and then import into the programme. Need to do a food shop this morning then some tidying up then restart the photographing. O
    h and loads of washing to do and of course flying!!!!
    Bath first though.

    Bossymoo - I think that is a fantastic idea to have some of your DH's clothes made into teddies. I wish you lots of hugs for today.

    Well done flying fresian on you weight loss.

    Glad DH is feeling a bit better Ajmoney

    Vanilla - Rhys sounds gorgeous, hope he had a great day

    Pigpen - Moomins shoes sounds fab, sounds like she might be taking after you :D

    Hope those wth children issues get them sorted, its so hard when you have to face that sort of problem every day. Been there, done that but it did improve once my ex moved on and I have to say although he still has lots of animosity towards me, he has been a fantastic dad to my DS.

    I think thats all I can remember for now so do I have another cuppa before my bath or not????

    Oh and I need to try and redo my order for next as 3 times yesterday it kept dumping my basket - embb (where are you??) - perhaps it is so used to me shopping like that it does it of its own accord now

    Right I'm away

    I feel very proud this week as all I have left to do from the lists I made is hoover the living room and start working on some card orders I have.

    I suspect I won't get either of these things done today as we're leaving the house in an hour to go to Newcastle for the football (woo!!) which makes it a long day as we're up in Edinburgh :D

    I'm going to hang up some washing before we go though and have a quick S&S in the living room, kitchen and bathroom. The house looks so much better this week than it has for months and I'd like to say thanks to you ladies for the inspiration :T

    Morning all, kids getting fed here and then it's time to get ready for Eva's christening. I'm so nervous about being Godmother and getting up in front of everyone. _pale_

    Hex sorry hun, i picked you up wrong. :o

    Right i better start getting everyone ready..:D
    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.
    :j :j

    Vanilla you will be a fantastic Godmother to little Eva. You are such a wonderful Mum to your own kids. I can fully understand why you've been asked to be Eva's Supporter. I hope you have a lovely time. Your piccies on FB are lovely. Rhys looks over the moon with his new bike.

    DD2 is nagging me to get off the laptop. We are about to walk down tothe rec to watch DS3's last game of the season.

    Have a good day everyone.
