Evening all,

I have no idea what on earth has happened to this week.. Only minimal flying from me..

Scruffydog is so much better now, he's back to his cheeky whinging self. He's now having his evening cuddle and snuggle on the sofa..and taking over the sofa too

I am now broke, didn't realise that I didn't have what I had thought in the bank. I was counting what DH had put over for my car's MOT payment without realising it.. Definately not a lady who lunches this month :rotfl: Anyway checked the account and it is seriously depleted of proper money..ack!!!! So transferred what I had into the savings account so that the bank can't pinch it from me..lol But I do have the MOT money so I suppose that is something, just hope she doesn't need any work done otherwise I will have to beg,borrow and steal :rotfl:

Bossy Miss M looked so adorable in her footie kit

My house is taken over with 16-yr-old girls :eek: Only 4 of them but it's a small house. They are watching DVDs and youtube videos and laughing/screeching very loudly. I'm banished upstairs, in DS's room as my double mattress is in DD's room for them to sleep on so I'm not even in the comfort of my own room!! I need to climb down from this cabin bed, eat the pizza leftovers and grab the leftover wine I think :cool:

I feel your pain bonnieb It's surprising just how loud and squealey teenage girls can be, not to mention messy! Hope you survived it and they had fun too; I try to remind myself that I'm helping my DD's to have some lovely 'growing up memories'

Bathrooms never got done last night either as we had to empty LR sideboard to move into DD’s room, however it did allow me to half fill a bin bag with junk we have had in there for goodness knows how long. I will try & get bathrooms done between getting the paint & going to get my niece from school, should have a spare hour!

Have a good weekend everyone, I will see you back here on Monday, am half day at paid stuff today so best get something done & wont get a chance to get on at the weekend as router etc will be disconnected!

Catch you all later.
