    Much the same as Juliejim I don't know where this week has gone.

    It's so hard parenting man children at times. DS1 has caused the most terrible row and I can't make it better. More to the point I don't want to.

    I've taken my frustration out on the ironing. The basket is empty. First time since NYE.

    Morning!

    Having a quiet one today. I didn't do my hair last night so will sort while kids are in bath after brekki.

    Other than that today we are baking, doing craft stuff, ironing, getting stuff ready for back to school.

    Think I'll do a proper Sunday lunch today... Maybe we will go shopping.
    But first, small folk want a breakfast picnic!

    "See" you later.

    Morning lovelies :wave:

    Its been half term and although ive been at my 2 jobs ive had early finishes so managed to rearrange my housework to suit, so not looking too bad here .

    I like to do at least 1 small home improvement on each school holiday and this weekend its been operation wardrobe moving, today is day 2, yesterday it took me 2 hrs just to clear littleys floor (shes having my big double wardrobe) move her bed to the other side of the room and hoover, and sort her clothes into piles :eek: I wish I hadnt started :rotfl: but today is the good bit, got to empty my wardrobe, take it down, move it to her room, put it back up, then start filling it, but only necessary stuff is going back in, she doesnt know yet, I WILL foil the hoarder in her :cool:

    Also going food shopping *groan* and washing and drying, suppose we'll have to eat too. Easy restful day then :D

    Anybody else find trying to find time to read a book almost impossible? Its been on my to do list for months and starting to become a problem as in its annoying me not being able to squeeze it in anywhere, ive got 1 half read I want to finish, and another im itching to start.

    Brew number 2 imminent. X

    Morning everyone.

    Managed to get each room done this week even though there was a bit of working to my own list. Today will just have a 10 mins in each room ready for the new week.

    Not much more to shift out of the kitchen. Need to chase him up a bit. He was supposed to come last weekend for me to choose handles an stuff.

    Hugs,sticks and spoons where needed.

    One large box of assorted [STRIKE]carp[/STRIKE] valuable items went to the CS yesterday, and we came home with 6 assorted packs of incense sticks.:o

    We also went into Central MK and spent *gulp* £9 at the F&V stall - but we got three large bags full of assorted produce; excellent value, really and truly.:o

    Mr LW is currently giving the car it's weekly once-over; little does he know that when he comes in, he's helping me dust. MWAH-HA-HA-HA:D

    Morning all

    Mrs MP what are your pop ups - DS1 having a similar problem and has removed and reinstalled Java with no luck - I've started a techie thread.

    Need to settle back to the spreadsheets but also need to take DS to the snow clothing shop.

    all sorts of random ones dusty, i can get a pop from doing something as simple as clicking thank you on a post, some words on posts seem to have been turned into random links.
    pops ups today have been credit card, trading, credit reports things like that so its really irritating. after i did the java update i couldnt get on the internet so rang dd2 fella as hes an it wizz, he told me to try turning off the firewall, but i still have AVG after turning that off i could get internet, so while browsing i have no firewall but he said he will sort everything out today. ill tell him you are having similar probs and ask him to read your techy thread and see if he can help you as well once hes here.

    edit re words on post being links once i posted this the words 'credit rep' above seem to have become a link and when i clicked to edit this page i got a loans company page pop up. GRRRRRR

    Morning all

    TOTALLY let down by Lottery so back to work tomorrow *shudder*

    Less than happy about issues there but dare not share; other than to hint that a person with a permanent contract would not, were they in their right mind, apply for a temporary position.

    Isn't the internet brilliant though - have loaded up my paypal account to pay my e bay fees (hadn't realised there wasn't enough in there) and the money was in there straight away - and there was me getting all stressed and panicky - what a jelly I am sometimes!

    Also it's my sister's birthday Tuesday - now she is away until today (been to visit neice at work in Alicante (me - jealous? n-o-o-o-o:rotfl:) so I have posted her cards - and ordered part of her gift to be sent to her at work and it should arrive on her birthday! Usually my mum visits on a Monday but Mum is at a funeral tomorrow - so I have had to work round this!

    Washing on line with extra pegs. Trousers look like windsocks:rotfl:
