  • Wow Bossy - you're up early - hope you find your elusive Dad!

    Optimistic - fingers crossed for you hun xx

    Pigpen - I hope the decluttering of the yucky nappies and the descaleing of the kettle aren't connected :eek:

    We have blizzard-like snow here this morning - it's practically horizontal and about 50 miles per hour. So much for action packed day in the sunshine for me! To add insult to injury, the uber-heavy throw that I washed yesterday which is too big for the TD is still out on the washing line from yesterday :mad:

    OH chomping at the bit to get me and kids wrapped up and take the dog out - putting him off for as long as possible.

    Really must tackle the kitchen today - as well as the list, I need to clear out my metalware in there and replace some grotty sealant. I know I'll feel better when it's done.

    HHC at 11.30 anyone?

    Going downstairs now and hopefully OH will not notice me slink past him ;)

    Come on everyone - you know you want to !!!!

    TMD xx

    OH is now up so he can go collect full wash baskets for me.

    Hi Folks

    Sorry for being MIA, my life just seems not to be mine atm, all the daily type stuff is done and always gets done, I just don't seem to have the time to get online!

    So if I have missed your birthday, I hope you had a good day xxx

    To those that are pregnant, I hope all goes well for all of you. xxx

    It is bludy cold here today.

    I have 53 watchers on an eby item! it is not even that unusal or rare.

    MOT booked, inc service.

    Type 2 appointments booked as it is now coming up to 2 years since I was diagnosed, so best make sure it has kept away.

    Hugs xx
