    :rotfl: My boys do that, or they try to sneak out of bed and I say back to bed, you hear them totter back in then they say 'I'm in bed' I think they think we're daft or deaf at times. Saying that I remember doing the same as a child myself.

    Right, dogs been out again, it'd be nice out there if the dogs down the street were not barking their heads off!! Time for bed me thinks, night night everyone.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Oooh, I can't see a single cloud this morning! Definitely an outside jobs day but I've no washing left. I think the garage could do with a spring clean but I can't start clanking about too early. Maybe some more gardening; this is never ending but it's starting to look less neglected. Flylady for gardens, one area at a time then a weekly bit of maintenance to keep on top of it..

    Onwards and upwards Flyladies, have a lovely day doing what you're doing and I hope you get some sunshine for it.

    Grr...

    DS woke me up far too early. Just had brekkies. DH still asleep. Feeling better today. Wine and sleep helped.

    Going to put washing in, get kids dressed and then give the garden a quick mow. I also feel a quick trip to the tip coming on.

    Hoping to go to local park later for multi-cultural event there and maybe meet up with a couple of friends.

    AnW'sMum - good luck withthe passport hunt!

    Have a good day everyone.

    I can't find my driving license anywhere, need it for disclosure application at new job, I turned this house upside down yesterday, and now it is so unbelievably chaotic, I know I have to get flyladying like never before.

    Have to order replacement at the cost of £22, along with cost of photos etc. I am so disorganised, and now it's cost me money I will become Lady Efficient. The time I spend on silly things like this, could've gone down the beach !
    Hope you find it.

    Morning all, DS1 off to fishing just hope it goes better than last time, DS2 out playing and instead of taking advantage of that I'm sat on my bum doing nothing :o Have made a start but not got very far so far. Only one of my strawberry plants in the planter has survived the recent weather :( , I do however have about 50 alpine strawberry seedlings :) so I can replant it this afternoon, might put some in the hanging basket aswell, then probably give the rest away. I didn't expect so many of the seeds to grow :rotfl:

    I had some moron phoning and texting me from 2am until about 4am this morning, he wouldn't take the fact he had the wrong number, texts including 'Where are you girls I'm just outside Boroughbridge' my response back was 'I'm in Durham and I was asleep, I did say you have the wrong number!' I have to keep it on incase of emergency with DP working nights etc.
    Right, best get something more done after I finished my cuppa of course, have a great day everyone, no doubt I'll be back later

    I'll keep an eye out for your driving licence ;) I was awake at 6am but decided to finish by book before starting the great hunt again.

    I have resigned myself to getting a replacement and so am calmer about it all today. Still intensey annoyed but now seeing it as a bonus if it turns up. But like you say frugaljo it's cost me money (a flippin lot of money :( ) but the stress is even worse. I too MUST get organised in this pit of a hovel of a home.

    Anyway DD is pleased to have her camera back, going to see if I have any batteries so she can take some pics of the CHAOS here! :rotfl:

    Well I don't know what slapper he was trying to contact but the text I got this morning was 'Where were you last night sexy babe. I thought you were up for it x'

    Hence a reply back of, 'I appreciate the lovely message but don't appreciate my kids being woken up at 3am by someone with the wrong number. he must not like you that much if she's given you the wrong number'

    :rotfl: Don't think he'll call again

    AnW'sMum sounds like a good idea, seeing it as a bonus as you've said, they usually say things turn up when you're not looking for them.
