    Dusty - Brilliant news about Ed.

    Mummyof5 - Please can you share your recipe for carrot & coriander soup?

    Well so much for not flying. I have sorted recycling, vaccuumed living room, got my bag ready for day out tomorrow.

    About to tidy my nails, will do a proper manicure later, then off to village event.

    Hi ladies, good to hear how motivated some of us still are (not so much me :rotfl:) . Think I'm going to make the most of a lazy day today to get me rejuvinated for a full week's flying! Also, I may have got a little tipsy last night and am feeling it today, so no loud hoovering for me :rotfl:

    I'm such a lazy mare!! I keep finding other things to do other than housework and now its showing - we're living in a dirty pit!!

    Yesterday we spent 5 hours at the Lottie so came home too knackered to do anything and this morning I've done 2 x WM and washed up, now that I've caught up with the thread I'm thoroughly ashamed of my slutty behaviour lol.
    DH is asleep and DS is on the wii, DD is at my Mums so I AM going to get off here and go and do something NOW

    Pigpen - lovely photo of the children
    Sammy-Kaye - feel free to come over here and do mine pretty please

    Bossymoo can he still wear any he likes, it's not uniform is it? I was pointing you in the direction of grey school troussers which would probably be much cheaper but not sure they go that small.

    No, he's not in school till next September. He's 3. It's just some comfy trousers, really. He needs to be able to pull them up and down himself, and seems to like the ones with the knitted waist. Doesn't matter what colour. The ones he has now are sort of woven and jersey lined, so quite soft. But they are only toddler sizes and stop at 2-3. I'm not keen on jeans for nursery. The search continues. It's not desperate...

    Sunshine here, we've been at the park, then to my grannies, then took her for a carvery where they have a playcentre, so kids happy and well fed. When en route to gran's, there was a corner shop barber with his light on. So I dropped dd in to gran (my mum there too) and took DS to be scalped. They spiked it all up he looks very cute, and he sat really nicely!

    They are playing quietly now. DD hasn't had a nap so we'll do an early snack tea, bath and DVD in bed by 5.30 I think. Or all hell will be let loose (when she gets past herself)

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Today I am attempting to photograph & list as much as possible for sale on FB :eek: Its going to take a while, but I think grouping like items together and charging one price will work ;) Then at least I also have the pics if I need to list them on an auction site. Then I need to stop DD growing so that I have a chance of dealing with all her outgrown clothes :rotfl:

    So far though I've sat and finished the 1000 piece jigsaw DD was doing yesterday with her. Its taken us 4 hours plus however long we were at it last night! She can wait to do the next one until I've got my business accounts sorted as I need the dining table!

    Off I go...it was nice knowing you...if I'm not back in 4 hours can someone send a chocolate cake in after me? ;):rotfl:

    :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Thanks Mummyto5, I'll try that. Been snoozing/reading in the garden for the last hour of so. Waiting to see if DD is coming home before starting tea.
