Morning all
Sunny here but rain is forecast for later.
There are two very old, toothless men doing some work to my next door neighbour's drainpipe - they have an ancient looking ladder and a scaffold tower thing that looks older than them :eek: It is like watching the chuckle brothers as they shuffle around, leaning on their truck for support and gurning.
Anyway... it's DS's birthday so I've cook his requested breakfast of sausage, bacon & mushrooms. DD has been allotted the task of clearing the kitchen & running the hoover round.
WM & DW will be in action soon.
Welcome Maddy, welcome home Rowan Tree!, 'come home now' vibes to Ollie cat, 'cool down & go away' vibes for nicki's blisters/sunburn & a huggle for GI's DD.

Morning all i'm back in again.. didn't get much of a chance to look at thread over the weekend. DD had her big appointment on Friday to decide if she would need surgery, the doctor says she's doing fantastic and she (the doctor) can't believe the difference in her from march so no surgery needed...:j:j:j:j:j:jI'm over the moon and such a relief to hear.
DS! and DS2 had their joint birthday party on Saturday, 15 kids, a bouncy castle and big open field. Decided to kick everyone out to the field and we had a bbq in the hay shed (place is empty waiting on a new floor) so house stayed tidy.Boys loved it and i'm hoping the kids did too, thankfully my sister and BIL where here to help plus hubby who was actually fab. :eek: He normally sleeps when these things are going on.
So all back to normal this week, OH has an appointment this morning at the dual dia clinic and that should be his last one. Then I've oil coming in the afternoon so that will be full. Think i'll get the coal next week so we should be ready heat wise for winter.
Right best get everyone up.
Natty hope Ollie returns home soon xx“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.”0 -

Welcome Maddy
Just having a cuppa then I shall hoover and mop downstairs.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Hello all. We got back on Saturday evening from our holiday and I have about 10 loads of washing to do. We were straight out in the evening Saturday so only got 2 done and then out all day yesterday so only got 2 done. Unfortunately, the first load I did on Saturday has only just dried :eek: in spite of being in the drier for about 6 hours :eek:.
Hence DD and I being on the sofa in our pjs as we have no clothes and DS having gone out in his school trousers as he has no clothes. Hopefully the rest of the stuff will dry quicker because I have all of my nephews clothes to wash and give back to his mum.
She babysat on Saturday, it's a shame she didn't see fit to do anything with the washing even though I asked her to shuffle another couple of loads through.
I'm off this week and need to get the washing under control before I feel able to tackle much else as there is just so much of it. I do think it could be the perfect opportunity to make DD tidy her drawers out though.
Hope missing muggy turns up. Our poor girly is lucky she has a flap after idiot DH bolted the door so the neighbours couldn't get in to feed her. They ended up going round the side and calling her and watching her eat bless them.
It looks almost as thou I could try risking some line drying but I have a line full of wet stuff which I forgot was out when we went on holiday so it needs to come in and be washed. Most of it will be ruined by the sun.
DS is turning my lounge into an origami factory too!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -
