We are back! I didn't spot you, Skinty. the baby must have been asleep
Managed to get the plumbing bit for the kitchen sink - they assure me it will fit a 10 year old sink (they are slightly different now). Also got some cheap kiddies plates & bowls, some drawing paper & 2 boxes. Saw the bed that DD2 wants - she will have to wait until DH gets a job though

At least 'dinner' was cheap. Hotdog, chips & a drink X4 for £6.40!!

DH needs to do some DIY plumbing in the morning - this could be interesting. A plumber he aint!! :eek:

GI Best laid plans and all that, I didn't get into TOWIE town until 7.45 courtesy of the A12 carpark, got my Sis to scribble on some post and was in main Lakeside by 8.10 and out again by 9.20......no mean feat with 3 young Skints in tow, as Primarni, @rgos and Lu$h decluttered of various items.

Pulled an abort on Ike@ at that point, and diverted by MaccyD's but GI you were home by then I see anyway - by the time I would have finished shopping in Ike@ it would have been midnight before I got in. The EX works 5 minutes from Lakeside, so he has agreed to go and pick up venetian blinds tomorrow for me.

Have been doing a little bit of flying by night, folded Skint Baby's clothes into outfits on the flipflop thingy, so with one grab I have matching baby vest, top and bottoms, then all I need to pull out is a pair of socks:D, started getting rest of washable nappies folded as I am about ready to deal with the extra washing and I am almost out of first size disposables, so need to make the washables earn their keep

Right, time to get some shut eye before delivery comes knocking:eek::eek::eek:

Flying has been minimal. I'm working tomorrow so will leave a lust for DH and the boys to get on with.
.....

Paid stuff again today, but we are in good shape here. Hoping for an early finish so I can get floors done before kiddies are home...

Have a good day, all!

DK - great news about Ed and hope FIL is ok

Morning all, kids all back to school today so back to normal service. Hope to get DS3 wardrobe done today, i'm sure half of it can go. Then i'm going to iron everything in there too.

Might get some weeding done today to won't be long before the cover can go back on the polytunnel. Must get charity stuff done today and lift an item in the town.

Plan tonight is tech and see when the next exam is.

Right cuppa and the boys can get up, might even have DS3's wardrobe done by 10 which would be good.

Well have given my kitchen a good going over, and keeping it looking good so far this week. Being helped by kids not being here! Was beginning to get into my stride for flying last night and began on the study which is my office. This is a mammoth task !!
Then had to go out which was interruption, hoping the urge comes over me again today!
I shall resist from the peg discussion;) but it was lovely getting washed dried for free yesterday. Rain here today so far, so back to the Td. 3 more loads of washing to do and then caught up - til dd comes back from her Nan's !!

Morning all,

Lovely evening with friends last night, SC meal and they brought pudding so very easy and relaxed

Still sat in bed! But finished my cup of tea and read through the thread so probably should get up and get on with something useful.... I get into lazy mornings so quickly and easily when there's no school run but it's always hard to reverse the effects

Anyway, must get up and get on (trying to motivate myself.... ) Will log on laptop later to have a look at the list and update) Positive, healthful, happiness vibes to all, Cake x
