    Hi,

    (((HUGS))) to all those who want/need one.

    Dr's signed me off work for this week and next - which is good coz I don't have to worry about childcare for half term, but I really feel like I'm taking the mickey at work. I'm going to see if I'm allowed to take our new doggie home today!!!

    I've been awake on and off since 4.30 - but didn't get up til 6.30. Kids have had scrambled egg/toast for breakfast and I'm goingto chop them up an apple. WM and TD are on. Weather looks 'iffy' at the mo - I can see one bit of blue sky!!

    DD2 has been coughing all night but seems OK in herself so will send her off to nursery.

    I still didn't make the banana cake yesterday coz I didn't have enough marg n my weekly budget doesn't kick in til today. I'm going to do a storecupboard list and then make a shopping list from that.

    Hope every1's day is filled with sunshine and happiness.

    Luv Jxxx

    :hello: Goooooood Morning fellow OS'ers :D:D:D

    scuzz ((hugs)) Yes, you are normal ;) Hope your b/f wasn't injured to badly and recovers speedily.

    Kathy - :T Well done on your sales

    Kyle - ((get well soon))

    Got a delivery arriving today :j the last delivery of d11yo's bedroom furniture. They reckon between 0700-1200hrs and I've really got my fingers X'd because I'm due to have a lunch date with the girls at 1200hrs :o I'm not pushing it, but if they could make it by 1100hrs I'd be extremely happy because I'd planned to walk to the location :laugh:

    Going to utilise the morning by doing FL - but that's because it ties in with my bin day (tomorrow early am).

    Need to try and get a hair appointment for tomorrow too, before half term next week.

    My 1-week-to-go-before-the-big-one-three ds is doing a project on 1950's American food with food tech so I'm going to do some research for him (but only because I'm just as interested :laugh:

    Have a lovely day all, ((hugs)) are free today take them or leave them as you fancy :D :wave:

    Morning all.
    Bright and sunny here, washing already on the line!!
    In a really good mood today, lots of reasons really, 1-Its sunny:j 2-ds2 comes home from Malta tommorow, weve missed him soooooooooo much :D 3- money situation is looking good.( Child benifit gone in this morning and i completly forgot to budget with it!!!!):T


    Not much planned, finish all washing and ironing as i will have a suitcase full to wash after tommorow, general tidy up.

    Hugs to everyone, Aimme if you think your scared of needles, my hubby is the worst infact doctors have offered him counciling over it, its not funny but i cant help laugh about him after he has had to have one, grown man got 9 tatoos yet hyperventerlates, cant talk ,and has to be given sweets to stop him passing out everytime he has one, i make sure he always gets a `iv been brave sticker`.;)
    Thing is he would love to give blood but until we can get him over this fear there is no way, he nearly broke me fingers last time he had a blood test from squeezing them so hard!!
    Big hugs to Scuzz xxx

    Anyway have a good one.

    Mornin all!

    Been a bit busy last few days, haven't had a chance to get on the chat boards at all.:eek: Not feeling too good today, legs feel like lead, and they've been buzzing all weekend. Going to work tho, even if I don't feel like it.

    My son James has got his college place. Pleased for him in one way, but upset in another. It's at a college near his Dad's.... 500 miles away in Cumbria:eek: Now that Caroline has moved out, I'll be all alone, not looking forward to that. still, I've got you all on here!:T

    Have a good day everyone!

    Good Morning All

    (((scuzz)))

    Good Luck today Kyle

    ((((hugs))) to anyone else who needs one.

    Thanks Queenie, that has reminded me to speak to DD about what ingredients she needs this week for school.

    Weather looking nice outside so another laundry day, seem to have as much washing after a 2 day weekend as after a 5 day week. Will also concentrate on getting the ironing done.

    Tiler is here to start tiling the kitchen and cloakroom so will be banished from those rooms I guess. Also need to pop to Asda for a few bits and some office work will need to be done.

    Had a great day at the Farmers show yesterday, spent a fair bit but bought my mums b'day present and had some lovely food. Kids and I also picked up a few freebies.

    Oh well best get on, will hopefully pop back later - have a great day.

    Morning everyone

    (((hugs))) to scuzz, kyle, jet, mrs mix and hilstep for various reasons.

    Congrats to those who have had a productive weekend, extra money (can you spare me some? :D ), lost weight, etc.

    Sunny day here - at last. Stood on scales after my shower. :eek: :eek: :eek: SOOOOOO unhappy - all the weight I lost has now gone back on again. I need to start being stricter with myself. I'm the only one who can do it but I'm struggling to get motivated. Haven't slept too well over the weekend either, which doesn't help.

    Still, today is another day so I can start from scratch. Will try and do some exercise before I head out to do the school run and then w**k. Don't feel like eating, I'm so fed up. Will try to get some fruit down to keep the blood sugar levels as they should be.

    Hope everyone has a lovely day. xx

    Morning everyone :wave:

    Am alive (but sunburnt) after a weekend waterskiing, it was quite fun and I'm getting better. Ate and drunk way too much though :eek:

    Today have some work stuff to do and may even start my first ever fly lady week. Also have loads of eBay parcels to package up and post, did well on the auctions that finished last night, very pleased.

    Hope all is well with everyone, hugs to anyone who needs one (scuzz) x
