    Crikey, lots of posts to read tonight.And a fair amount of Flying and news to catch up on!

    Nicki - hope you had a great shopping trip. 6 hours all to yourself..
    HopeElizzy - Happy belated birthday to you
    Boston - my fingers are crossed for you and get well soon
    Denise - well done on a months worth of ironing. In one session?
    Embb - I know what you mean about Flash, I use stardrops but I've got some lemon flash left from 'the old days' that I save for the kitchen floor. And can I be a Monday to Friday Geordie as I work there.
    Maralum - hope your littlies get better soon.
    Woody - That's still a cash saving if you have the time to Fly yourself. It does get easier if you can keep on top of it.
    Lil_me - great! that's a lot of small change!!

    Off to do the bedroom after another cuppa and then compile a not to be deviated from shopping list for tomorrow. I'm so happy its payday!

    Enjoy Big brother those watching (not me until about week 9 when I feel left out of tea room chat). Fill those advert breaks with little jobs if it's your guilty pleasure!

    Back later.

    Maralum, I like the idea of avoiding ironing by wearing small clothes but I don't buy things a size smaller, I buy them the right size and they BECOME a size smaller. Still, so long as there's no ironing involved ... desmobob_smilie_fatty.gif

    Does anyone want any of those Tesco Free Voucher for a Great Day Out. I've currently got atleast 2 spare ones. If anyone is after one, if you send me a PM with your address I'll stick one in the post.

    Hello everyone,

    Well, im finally sitting down - had a busy day with the LOs today, and as it was raining this morning i decided to give the washing a miss and do it tomorrow. Anyway, the sun came out, it was really windy, so i changed my mind and im now upstraight with it all, although i am hoping it will still be nice tomorrow as i would like to get the kids bedding done.
    Since the LOs went, ive managed to clean the bathroom and toilets, hoovered throughout downstairs, emptied the hoover (hate that job) wiped the kitchen down and cleaned the kitchen floor (including under the table!!!). Ive also started giving the fridge a really good clean. In between the cleaning, ive also made butternut squash, tomato and sweet potato soup, oaty biscuits, shortbread and scones.
    Tomorrow - i will def be sorting out the ebay stuff, as i can take advantage of the 5p listing day.
    Hope everyone has a lovely evening,
    Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    well done lil_me, now so long as it is bagged in the same denominations you can bring it into me tomorrow or Friday and I'll weigh it all and swop it for nice £ notes ;)

    I am not one of those bank cashiers that hates change, the way I see it if I am weighing all your change I can't be doing any other jobs the manager might find!

    Hello all - glad to see that everyone's FLYing successfully.

    Yesterday was ok, but not a lot got done. Hoping to get more done today after taking DS swimming.

    However, you might notice the time. He's just gone over after an hour of tantrum-like screaming. From a 7 month old. Sigh.....

    Still what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Or something like that!

    Planning to do my bedroom and bathroom today per Lil_Me's list but sometimes the best laid plans etc etc

    Anyway I'm away to browse more with my cuppa before I go back to bed once I know his lordship is definitely settled. I'm havering now. :D

    Love to all
