    Finishing a herring, scooting around on a wheelie ergonomic thingy AND talking to them! Multitasking wonderment in the apple muncher household. Wonder what the boys make of it all...

    ... The great thing is that whatever impression we make on the boys, they will think we are a "typical" British family :rotfl:

    Frustrating work day, but all else pretty much OK!

    ;) MFW actions:

    Pay slip received from uni so money on 30th looks very promising! Am poised with spreadsheet ...!

    SMASH day 26 / 365 = £ 350 / £ 3,000

    :( Grey Clouds:

    They have P45'd me for the project before I've had a chance to submit June's time sheet so still more hassle to come to get rest of monies owed. Big sigh.

    :) Silver lining:

    Lads are shaping up well, all very pleasant so far! They even love the dogs although one of the boys had a poultry related trauma in his past so he doesn't go down that end of the garden. Will pick my moment to tell him we have 3 more arriving on Saturday! funny-chicken-smiley-emoticon.gif
    :p Daily Declutter:

    Mum came round for boot sale stuff, went away again with 4 big boxes and 2 bin bags of stuff (too many individual items to count) so 227 / 365.

    :D Simple pleasures:

    Hot black currant, hot water bottle for colds!

    Hope everyone is fine! TFI Friday tomorrow :T x

    Thanks ladies, today was Ok but tiring and I didn't get to the end of my to do list! Still am taking the whole day off tomorrow and from July will be having two day weekends! :T

    Hope you both have a good one. X

    And so ends today ...

    ;) MFW actions:

    NSD, small Tilly tidy, aiming for small MOP tomorrow once some client cash has cleared, then main shuffles on Monday for end of month!

    Utility swap should have taken place so phoned SP to get back our "in credit" balance. Should be just over £20 I think but may take up to 28 days to come through.

    SMASH day 27 / 100 = total £ 350 / £ 3, 000

    :(Grey Clouds:

    Didn't clear my to do list which would have given a more relaxed edge to the weekend ... Especially as I have a whole weekend to do list too! Never mind!

    :) Silver Linings:

    New rescue hens come tomorrow :T

    :pDaily declutter:

    Old pair of boots finally thrown out, been resoled more times than I've had hot dinners! Total = 228 / 365

    :D Simple Pleasures:

    Students bonding nicely, may have to throw one into the shower over the weekend though, great lad but seems to be having a holiday from washing whilst he's here!

    Dinner out in garden tonight - two of. Mr. Hbbb's girls were here too so proper family tea time!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend! x

    Why not 'before' and 'after' pics?

    Hmm - what will the boys make of you snapping pics of your chooks...?

    Oh, I second the before and after pics :T

    If they don't have a lot of feathers remember to rub suncream on (tell the boys you're basting them :rotfl:)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
