    Good afternoon :D


    I am doing rubbish! I had lots of good intentions (hence my name!) and doing lots of studying and paperwork today. After a lie in, and some FB games & a bit of TV, I am only just sitting down to it :( Doh!


    I haven't caught on up the thread so hugs, sticks & spoons where needed. Happy Birthday to CY. Hi to Mumto5. I believe we are fellow Essex girls! I know you are going through a tough time at time moment just wanted to send some big hugs x


    Flying wise - I have just completely emptied my 'plastic pot' cupboard & wiped it out. It is now all over the work surfaces, and I have walked away to do some studying :D I will do some of that when I take a break (if I ever get started!!)

    Hugs Mum to 5.

    I have put into larger pots radishes, coriander and basil. I've started off radish, leek, parsnip and pepper seeds, and also planted out 50 lily bulbs. Had a bit of a tidy up outside, it's not looking too bad but that is it for today as I've started aching.

    Now it is time to read the papers!

    Huge hugs to Mumto5..... if you want to offload feel free to PM me.........


    Someone has crashed into DS's car. He is not happy (and I don't blame him.) He has contacted the insurance company and the other driver has admitted liability.

    Nothing constructive to say as far as flying is concerned; I've done a few loads of washing, a few tons of washing up and S&Sed the bathroom and kitchen. Girls room is a pit AGAIN, I have sent DD in to clear her stuff and she's barely made a dent which means the rest of the sh!te belongs to DSD. She will be getting both barrels when she gets back from drama.

    Sorry to hear about your son's accident, CY, as annoying as it is, as long as everyone is ok that's all that really matters. I hope you enjoy the rest of your birthday xx

    Sending my love to you, Mumto5. Big hugs xxx

  • Good evening everyone, I am sneaking back in after being missing for a couple of weeks. We are in the process of moving and everything is starting to get on top of me a bit as we need to have everything moved by Friday 14th. I just keep reminding myself that it will all be worthwhile, as it has more space and will save us money. We are trying to move as much as we can in the car to reduce the cost but will get a hire van for next week to move all the big furniture. I have had to get a dongle as BT did not connect our line this week like they were supposed to and as I work from home a lot of the time it has given major problems.

    Sorry about my big post.

    My list for tonight:

    Get another load from the old house
    Go to Mr A, as after spending all afternoon trying to do the order using the dongle it would not fully go through
    Put kids toys back into shed
    Get dinner
    Get the kids to bed, hopefully at a reasonable time
    Try to get to bed at a reasonable time
    Make a start on homework for next week

    I think that is everything that I need to get done tonight.
