    Not bad for my last minute push:

    WM has just finished and I'm going to put stuff on the airer before I go upstairs
    DW stacked with dirty dishes
    8 lots of ham sandwiches for DS2 in freezer (before ham went off)
    freezer inventory done and mealplan started
    DS1's supper organised

    Off to bed in a minute. Good night all!

    ETA
    Sorry to hear that you've had such a sad end to an already tough day, froddy. Hope things get better soon. I'll be around for lots of HHCs tomorrow.

    Valli - we have paper loaf tin liners from the local market. I'll compare prices.

    And why on earth did I think it was a good idea to leave DS1 in charge of getting his brother ready for bed! Silly me...

    Morning all

    Went to bed early last night so have been up for an hour and it is oh so lovely and quiet.

    Pottering with laundry, writing up new calendar etc.

    Froddy big hugs for you sweetie, hoping the New Year is a good one for you.

    Bonnie love your highlights of the flying year. My memory is so rubbish I can't think of any.

    Morning All

    I've been awake for a couple of hours too Dusty - I've been messing around on my laptop in bed though. I think my plan for today is to have a declutter of my BR including my clothes so I've only got stuff that fits me in the wardrobe.

    Hugs froddy x

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Calendar all written up - need to add a few more bits

    Just ordered 3 reduced diaries from Calendar club - how organised am I going to be this year!

    Hungry now time to rummage for food, still nobody else up - bliss.

    Morning all. I've been up a little while and so far I've done some sewing repair jobs, prepped some veg for today's dinner, put meat in slow cooker, and washed and wiped up from last night (I know, I know!).

    DH is just making us breakfast, and I plan to spend HH in the gym (actually exercising, not flying), will have a soak and weather permitting will walk the dogs. Also need to hoover downstairs as usual.

    Will probably report back later. Have a good day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning! Thanks for all the kind messages :A

    All fed and dressed here, LR floor looks like toys r us has barfed on it, kitchen clean, dining room sorted.

    Heading out soon, have bribed DS into good behaviour with the promise of treats if he doesn't run around church like a headcase.

    Got my shopping list at the ready and hopefully will return with suitable footwear.

    Lol, just asked DD to do "tidy time jigsaw" and she said "no". So I came in to see why and she said "I just build it mummy" bless her she's trying to do a 40 piece one on her own... I love that she can tell me stuff now (and I don't have to guess...)
    Bossymoo

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Good morning all xx

    I have been up for about an hour, need to go to MrT for birthday card while DD is at DSD's. Also need to wrap birthday presents.

    I did some bits during the ad's yesterday evening and the LR is now presentable. Iwill run the hoover and mop round later and we'll be ready for visitors tomorrow. Then we are off to F +B's for lunch in a limo (birthday surprise for DD).

    Hope all are well, catch up in a bit xx

    Morning.

    Still in bed here supping tea that DH made. Rest of the house is quiet so noone else up.

    Frodders sorry to hear about you losing your last ratty. Will you get more in time?

    I dont have a very good memory either but its a lovely idea to remember your favourcite posts as bonnie has. I tend to remember people. Bossymoo I find you are an inspiration, the stories of how you are managing your babies after such a sad loss and the way you are coping is just beautiful. Some of you other ladies who are here everyday without fail and keep the thread going, I cant thank you enough, Dusty, juliejim, froddington, mrs chaos, mumto5, cycling, ionafan, skintbreeder, Valli etc (sorry if I have forgotten anyone, these are just a few names that spring to mind) There are people that used to be here and pop in occasionally I like to remember as they were all here when I first started and have beensuch a support over the years, AnW's mum, rach, lilme, chamichelle, mudders, serena, soappie, boddy, embb, sexymouse, greenbee, moam, for starters, and then of course there is the legend that is pigpen. You all make this place what it is and although i frequently fall off the flywagon (usually because I am too darn tied to fly) and I would be lost without you. ETA I just remembered two of our favourite ladies fighting their own battles, the wonderful Toots and Ladyliberty x

    Ok enough! I should get my arris out of bed and get on.

    Plan today
    Eat
    Shower/ dress
    Keep feeding WM and TD
    Strip our bed and remake
    Make fruit salad and juices with excess fruit as we already had loads and my brother bought us a hamper with loads!
    Poss make vanilla ice cream but need to freeze bowl first.
    Take new dress to see if it can be altered if not needs taking back
    Start sorting holiday clothes - we go 2 weeks today :eek: :D

    Right thats my driver, see you later
