    Well.. we had the thunder.. we had the lightening and we now have rain.. pmsl.. amazing isn't it!?

    We also have 4 extra 13 y/o girls

    DS1 is strutting about like a peacock in his pj trousers.. banished to room before he makes everyone sick!!
    DS2 is behaving like a moon-flea and being a total 'special' child.. ggrrrr
    DS3 is also being amazingly 'special' he usually is a bit unusual but he is right off the wall today.
    DD3 is whinging non-stop
    DD5 is hitting everyone because she is a thug!

    I swear I am off to the pub tonight!!!!

    Food round number 1.. I was thoughtful and cooked the veggie food first.. :D .. so it doesn't get 'contaminated' with juices of the flesh!

    Hurrah!! Can I stop vibing now? That's saved a bob or two and you've had a good rumage into the bargain. Well done that Grandad!

    Just popped in to cool off, it's glorious here and long over due. I'm in my shorts and vest reading on the lawn with a little beer if anyone wants to chill. Please don't say Magnums though..

    I had to wait 12 whole minutes for the BM to finish before I could go to the tip so I started on the kitchen ahead of tomorrow. You can actually do a lot in 12 minutes!

    Right, going back out to dazzle the neighbours with my white legs..

    I was going to sit outside too but there are lots of flies out there and somebody has a barbecue going and it stinks (I hate barbecue). So I'm stuck in here :(
