We are having crumpets upstairs. I'm in bed and kids in DD room. Got a nice big :coffee:

We might sip to sports centre this morning, just to hand in form. Other than that and hair cutting, it's an at home day. Is rather wet outside might still chuck them out for a bit with wellies on later...

mrs-moneypenny

mornig all
hugs healing vibes and gentle supporting vibes to all who need them.
dusty hope the bits heals soon, my mum got bitten years ago by a little mite that lives under ladybirds wing cases -really dont ask me how she could be that specific!! but she had the most awful reaction her leg swelled and i remember her having to have the fireguard in her bed to hold the sheets up as even the weight of those caused her pain.
tmd, sp here as well, were on about £120 a month but think that having heater/lights on for tortoise all day, having teens with xboxes etc, we do turn all leccy (tvs puter etc off at night) but fridge and freezer are ancient and kettle is always on. we dont have a dw or a td
a few years ago we noticed our credit was building up fantastically we pay dd and no one had been to read the meter for ages. any way turned out the meter was broken and we hadnt been charged for any leccy for 13 months!!!!!:eek: new meter was fitted and the decided to monitor us for 3 months times it by 4 take some off for inconvenience i was so scared wed owe £1,000s but luckily the credit built up about covered it.
bossy hugs to you and the little ones, is it possible they are noticing something in the air from you re the dates/ ages etc and picking up on that and just being a bit off as a result. i hope im explaining that properly i certainly dont want to cause any upset but children do pick up on things and react in strange ways sometimes. You are fantastic and i totally admire you, your children are so lucky to have such a strong fantastic mum.

hugs to all im off for a coffee then really should make a start, but not going to be washing or hedge trimming today as its horrible out.
(nice dry weather vibes for the prom journey later for dancemums DS)

One of the special 10 checking in :wave:

Having read back on the thread I can see there is a lot going on. Hugs and spoons to those who need them xx

skint what a nightmare - can you find an hour or so to nap today?

Dusty hope the leg heals soon

Natty thanks for the lists

I've not been so good with flying recently. This is because I got married last weekend

We are having a delayed honeymoon so we have both been straight back to work which has been really hard because we are so tired! I have 3 week's worth of ironing to do and lots of other gibble to sort out. I've managed to do a bit of tidying up and cleaning downstairs during the week. Busy weekend ahead, so I plan to do quite a lot today after I get home from work:

Go to the bank
Sort out items to take to dry-cleaning
Sweep / hoover / mop all upstairs rooms
Clean bathroom
2 hours ironing
Meal planning + shopping list

bossymoo

Awwww deus congratulations! How lovely! Best wishes for a long and happy life together!

Mrs MP you are probably right, although she has been pretty nice this morning, we were sat on the floor making the longest train we could out of DS wooden railway set, and she came and plonked herself on me. She almost never does that. I do wonder sometimes if we didn't quite bond when she was tiny (lots of probs re milk intolerance) or of she's just not as cuddly as her brother. She tells me to go away quite a lot

Still, for this morning, harmony reigns :T

Pretty heavy rain here so no more washing yet, as nowhere for it to dry. Kitchen sorted (again) and I've swept under sofas. DS has the electrostatic duster and is currently dusting behind his toy box, under the small chairs, my neck :eek: and anywhere else he can reach haha

mrs-moneypenny

my boys were more cuddly than my girls as LOs

congratulations to you and you DH Deus, i wish you a long and happy one

Mammoth list coming up as I've not done much flying this week. Been another busy one (is there such thing as a quiet week anymore??)

Got a day off today as I'm waiting in for the oven repair man to come. Should be here by 12.15 at the latest but it's stopped me going out either this morning or this afternoon as there probably won't be much time to pop to the shops before the school run if he doesn't show up soon!

Hmmm - quite a bit to do and no motivation! Maybe I'll vac the living room and dust. It's not too bad so won't be too taxing!

Congratulations Deus - hope you had a wonderful day.

Not read beyond the last few post so hugs to those in need (and to those not in need). Suppose I'd better fly to stop me munching on rubbish right before lunch.

Anyone for a HHC starting now?

Can I be cheeky? Would you lovely ladies mind letting me know who you are getting your supply from and I may have a nosey online? :T

I'm with EDF for dual fuel, with a DD discount and I'm on E7. I run the WM a lot, but usually get at least one load through on the night rate each time, TD I'm more sparing with - again I get up and stick in on during the night if I wake up (which I do) likewise DW is prepped before bed and I run it over night. But I have teenagers so they use a LOT of electricity.

Have (awful, misted) DG units and cavity wall insualtion I have a gas fire. I dust it. :rotfl:

(I do not use it because the LR is so warm;))
