            Hellooooo xx :wave:
 I'm soooo glad Miss CY likes books I love reading, so does DS. I love reading, so does DS.
 I've not got so much energy today, so I'm just chilling about it all. I've got a load in the WM and a second load ready. Not raining today - just gloriously autumnal :T I love autumn.
 I've eaten another watercress and crisp sandwich, followed by a large tangerine. Still not sure about eating leaves, but when Mr T substitutes your liver and onions for fish n chips :think: and you send said substitute back, and you want to up your iron intake you have to eat what he did bring 
 I'm not sure if Charlie is trying to bathe in his water pot, or trying to mate with it :rotfl:He's not having much success either way 
 Going to get this washing out then just pootle with paperwork sorting. And I intend to cook tea again - from freezer/ store cupboard - so no expenditure chez tuit two days in a row :A
 Gas people want a meter reading so I'll do that this afti too.
 Hope you are all having a good weekend xxIT ONLY TAKES SMALL DAILY ACTIONSFOR MAGIC TO HAPPENRosemary Ikpeme 0 0

            I swear I am so close to squishing this baby (I don't think OH is far off either).. she has spent all day screaming despite food water boob calpol anbesol and a short nap... I may be forced to send DD2 out with her in the pushchair.. she can walk her round the park or something but I really need her to not be in the house for a bit I think it might help us both. I had forgotten how horrible nocturnal and insomniac miserable babies actually are.. DD1 is 18 and she wasn't much different.. she was however quite lovely after about 3 years old so I can only hope and offer bribes to deities that this one is the same!... Or maybe I just feel crappy after no sleep and no AF for over 2 months!
 DW done, worksurface cleared, kitchen swept, it can be mopped after tomorrow when everyone has finished spilling stuff on it! WM's just finished so I'll deal with those after I finish my cuppa.

            Afternoon all
 Today I have washed up and cleared the surfaces in the kitchen and I have also vaxed the LR carpet as there was a mysterious stain! It has now gone which is good! Need to go into town to deposit a cheque and then picking DD up from work and going to do the weekly shopping.
 Has a letter from British gas this morning and we are £270 in credit! So I rang them and asked for £200 back as it could be gaining me interest! Bonus! Should be in my bank in the next 5 days! Have left £70 there towards the next bill.
 Right must shift myself
 Cath up later!Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0

            Afternoon all
 All car boot stuff down from the loft and all over the LR and hallway. I've got over half priced and packed but I'm slowing down hence the break now. Hardly any of it is priced over £1 so I hope to get rid and make enough for it to be worthwhile.
 DH being a star and doing all the running around, currently dropping DS1 to golf, DS2 to work and taking DS3 into town with him.
 Right back to the mound and then to Mr T to use a voucher and get a few bits.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

            Hello all. So far today, I've done dog walking, cleaned fridge, meal planned for week, done shopping with DH and am in the middle of helping DH with a presentation for his new job on Monday, so that will be an on/off jobbie all weekend. We've stopped now for a break which coincidentally is when football is on!! So, I might try to find time to cut the grass, do a bit of vacuuming. I also really need to make DD a birthday card & cake.
 Hope everyone's having a great weekend.Spend less now, work less later.0

            Quiet here today. Hope you're all off having fun! Tots had a ball at the party, and friend did turn up with a present, which they are playing with (dare I say nicely). It's a wooden chopping board with wooden food velcro'd together that you can chop. He is being a dog and she is feeding him. Oh, and we are all wearing medals, lol.
 I keep thinking we ought to tidy some toys away, but they'll only get them back out again, so we'll leave it till Sunday afternoon, and start the new week off tidy. They will be going to nursery Monday anyway, so won't need train sets out.
 I'm sure I ought to be doing something but I'm not going to Bossymoo Bossymoo
 Away with the fairies :beer:0
