Not much flying done today, Tiny has however been registered and is now a real human. Big one is tucked up in bed, medicated and told she will be in school tomorrow as she will be better.
Going to have a fly around the kitchen list now. It's not too bad in there. Oh and have dinner, I've forgotten to have dinner so far.0 -

One of my EX's cousins actually asked for people to buy shares or premium bonds with a minimum value of £100 per person attending the wedding. So I would have been expected to stump up £500 at that time, and it was suggested that maybe it was better "we" meaning me and the young Skints didn't go to save embarrassment all round.
:eek:
I am actually speechless! Attending a wedding is supposed to be about celebrating the couple's special day, not filling their portfolio.

Hey roxy, sorry I missed you! Did you actually do any sweeping? I was awake 2 more times after posting baby May does nothing but feed all day and night, am currently feeding her now, but can't imagine I've got any milk left she's fed so much!
I'm hoping today's list will be something to do with bedrooms as I've managed to Hoover through upstairs and put the washing away. Was hoping to get on with some ironing but hungry baby put paid to that!0
