    Pigpen - how old can you be? Did you start having babes at 12? I need to know which moisturiser you use - I've only had two and they have aged me at least 10 years in the last 4...
    Anyway - fab photos and you all look divine

    Thank you!!! I may become your bestest friend!! lol You do know which one is me, don't you??? (the biggest one in the lilac dress?) I am physically knackered LOL!!!

    Lovely photo Pigpen - 5 girls are yours right - what about the two boys? You don't have 7 do you!!! The little ones look close in age, how you manage to fly at all I have no idea.

    No I have 8 lol.. the 5 girls are mine and 3 boys are mine.. the 2 little ones on the right and the one on the far left.

    Pigpen, the others are right you look wayyyyyyy to young to have so many kids :D and as for CHAOS bet mine is worse than yours and there are only 3 of us here! :eek:

    Even given the above my main tasks today are to find an A3 laminating pouch, double check the lyrics and choose a suitable Quo track for Wednesday so house flying is going to have to wait :o

    Right coffee and lyric reading......

    Would be interesting to hear your thoughts, DH was and DD are HUGE Quo fans and this track would seem to be spot on for his memorial service.

    Okay, don't know what set me off, but finally sparked my bum into gear.
    And just as I had cleaned my windowsils and was hoovering the floor, the windowcleaner showed up!

    So Off I rushed upstairs to check the girl's bedroom, made the bed quickly, kicked some crap under their beds (for them to clean up later. I am bad I know!!)

    Kitchen is now done. Floor is hoovered, but not yet mopped. Toilet is clean.

    Little squirt decided she wanted to stay upstairs to play.. :eek: so I'm listening in via the baby monitor. The stairs gate is shut so she can't fall. She's sitting there happily playing with bratZ dolls and singing to herself.

    :D

    Anw'S Mum - that looks like a lovely choice of song ((hugs))
    Katherinedrex - Welcome to Flying :)
    Shirley - The garden looks great . . . and I LOVE the blue fence!
    Lil_me - hope the tests go well.

    Today has been a public holiday over here . . . celebrating the Queens birthday. Don't know why, when it was back in April, but there you go :confused: So Monday has been a bit different from usual for me.

    • Sorted weekly menu, got groceries;
    • Put up curtains in family area (just kitchen and lounge to go)
    • General wipe down of kitchen
    • Walked puppy
    • Three loads of washing - one which was sent back to the big smoke with DS when he left this afternoon :(

    Over the weekend we've:
    • Wiped windowsills
    • Wiped light switches
    • Wiped door handles
    • Pulled a few weeds
    • Transferred some dirt and sawdust around the section. Have to build up one area before we sow lawn seed in the spring.
    My major plan for the week is to clear/sort the garage so we can fit the car in it. To this end, today I've:
    • Taken old bookcase out of garage, sawn top off so it'll fit in cupboard in hallway.
    • Have taken out of garage board games, jigsaws etc and put in above bookcase
    • Next will find photo albums and take them out of garage
    • Will need to sort what is staying in garage, what is going in garden shed, what in coming into house (nothing I hope, other than games and photo albums)
    • Will have a good sort through in garage of things to toss, give away, sell.
    Hoping to get this far by next weekend. Wish me luck :rolleyes:
