    Good to see you Rach :D

    Trampoline sounds great fun and INOD, love the duvet story! :rotfl:

    DS doesn't iron any of his stuff yet and I only do his school shirts and anything that really needs doing for work. Seems to be more this time of year with t-shirts, but no more than 15 minutes if I can help it! :D Maybe I should start training him like my Mum did me - gave me tea towels to do. I was so rubbish with them though, she carried on doing mine until I left home :rotfl:

  • INOD that sounds like a scenerio (trampoline) in my crazy family...:D

    Hello everyone :hello:

    What a hectic week so far. Got training tomorrow. Weather rubbish here and stalling getting on bike:eek:

    I normally iron DS shirts (quicker) but he does anything else and also cooks! Don't want to raise a lazy man! I only iron when need arises.

    The blazer incident occurred when he said it was rumpled as I was going out the door so I told him to do it himself in a rather direct manner!:rotfl: Regret it now :eek:

    Had to spend on bikes too :eek: My brakes needed doing and so took DD second hand bike in for tyres and brakes.....ended up doing her chain and finding a few more problems with mine...:think: everyone's out to make money! Anyway all came to £62 :eek: Too many 'posh' bike shops springing up in my 'slowly becoming gentrified' neighbourhood. Good that it's on my doorstep though.

    Cannot wait for pay day to make payments on recently used BC CC and to get a grip again!

    Have a good Friday!

    RR xx

    Ps probs spent more repairing DD bike than I bought it for!!!! LOL

  • Well it's nearly Monday again! :eek:

    Poor DS is ill with the same thing as DD had (she's just about got over temperature :( ) So spends on medicine etc..

    Been good today. Done school work, took DD out on her bike round the woods, made chicken curry and done loads of washing. :T

    DS keeps calling me (and phoning me!!!! :rotfl:) asking for stuff and groaning in typical male fashion!

    DD thinks she's on 'The Great British Sewing Bee' and is making a dress for her teddy out of bubble wrap and sellotape! Who needs all that new fangled Disney rubbish I say. I'm old school! :rotfl: Or maybe just old! :D

    Worked on Saturday but won't get paid for it till Summer because they messed up paper work :mad: All in the bank though.

    Going to watch 'World's End' with Simon Peg on DVD now.

    Hope y'all having a decent Sunday. Weather here is rubbish!

    Me too - I hear it's another part of the 'mend and make do' culture that is catching on from the recession. Will have to watch.

    Shame you're not going to get paid soon for yesterday's work Rach and hope the new week goes well. :)

  • Thanks :D

    I watched that show religiously although I loathe sewing! My family thought I'd gone mad when I said I was desperate to see the final in Cornwall. I'm now onto the Allotment challenge show (it's a bit sad...getting excited over who has the longest runner bean! :rotfl:...better get back on that internet dating site!!!)

    DS has very painful throat and there's not much to do but sit it out. DD back to school.

    Not in the mood but hopefully will step up a gear soon. :eek:

    Off to get cat food. Nothing left in cupboards but DS can't eat so that's a bonus!


    See ya soon

  • Hope you stocked up cos as soon as DS feels a bit better, he will be like pacman on speed.

    I know nothing about internet dating sites but I have a feeling there is probably a similarity:rotfl:;)
