Pigpen - I feel for you, mastitis is horrible and having the wee ones in bed is no fun. Hope you feel better soon.Crowdpleaser wrote: »Found time to have a wee walk for a cache.
A friend of mine has done some of these and I'm interested in having a go. Is there a website or a thread on here that has info?

Wendywitch thanks will give that a go. Its v odd, as its only the main bathroom; the en-suite one is fine and they're the same model, and get about the same usage.
Just a quick share, but absolutely thrilled that my son has a callback for his school's Les Miserables audition. Parts in their productions are highly sought after so I'm absolutely delighted for him.LD 12.25 £1600.00/£0700.00 Fn £274.00 LTFn £525 LLTFn £300

She's not! She is a holy terror that one! She got in my bed at 1am and told OH he was not allowed in and it was her bed and he had to go away! She is rather cheeky! But appears to be playing nicely at the moment.
Having a cuppa, cooking food and trying to sort the hovel that is my kitchen..All I seem to have done forever is throw stuff out and it is just not getting any clearer in here!

Aww, they're lovely when they're asleep, aren't they? :rotfl:
I've switched off now. Am cold but heating is just flicked on and dinner is almost ready. Just waiting on the return of the swimming brigade.
I also have some brown rice on the hob ready for making up lunches. I'm following WW simple start this week so thought I could use this for lunches.
I've just been in "the garage" and filled two little holes on the cot. I will see what I have to gently patch up the paintwork scratches.
I've also listed in my diary what I can do each day. Just small stuff mon-wed with the main activity on Thursday, including a trip out to the household waste sorting dumpy type place.
OK sounds like they are here... I'll go dish up!Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
Heh, pigpen, I'm loving the scarf and bare legs combination.
I defeated the toothpaste stains :j and I popped to the PO with a parcel before I collected DS2, my friend is having a crap time of it so I have sent her a little beauty care package, I hope it makes her smile.
By the time we got home, DS1 was changed, his uniform was hung up and he'd tidied the stuff I left on his bed :eek: I wonder what he's after?!
I need to prep dinner, but I forgot to get cream from the shop so it's back to the drawing board with a pack of chicken thighs for inspiration…0 -
