    Hi everyone, nice to see you're all busy today! I've squeezed in some flying between paid stuff - I didn't do the oven as it was done last Thursday after the spuds exploded, lol. And I haven't done the fridge or any cupboards either.

    I have done a wash though, and applied to transfer my ISA :D

    Right, I have about 40min child free time, I have got things out for kids dinner so I'm going to do some online "window shopping" for my hols. I will do the real shopping on Thu but I want to work out where I'm going, hence the browsing today.

    Welcome to all new and returning flyladies!

    Bossymoo - what are you planning to do for your hols? Myself, my OH, sister and her husband and their two kids have booked a 3 bedroom chalet in Hemsby £350 (£120 deposit) Summer holidays. There's so much to do in that area and lots on your door step too. There's loads of 2 bedroom too sleeping 2 in lounge (but we wanted the extra space)

    Hi Aunti Sceb, we are going abroad for a week. When I said window shopping I meant for some sandals and bits and bobs rather than actually buying a holiday :D we booked a couple of months ago.

    Where eis my guag?
    Probably eloped with mine.:(
    I've dragged my sorry @$$ round and done as much as I could manage today; the kitchen is clean and tidy, and all the carpets have been de-dog-haired (Jessie was collected this morning). Also spent a fun half hour (NOT) removing long red hairs from round the Dys0n roller.

    Got to visit @ldi as soon as Mr LW gets in from work, and I really, really cba, but there's no choice, we need milk and butter, and I have another 8 items on the list that we could do with getting.

    Tbh I want this week to be over.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    I am in this week please, thank you for the lists. Sorry I haven't read back but I need to clean the house for Saturday when I have my niece and nephew stopping over.

    I am feeling the same LW I just want this week to pass and hopefully next week I will be back to normal. My OH is being a turd I just want a few hours to myself with out entertaining the children/cleaning/cooking/ironing/washing but OH is far too busy with his own self importance.

    I am rather annoyed at boy dog while I was getting my clean dry washing of the line he pee'd on the basket! This happened a week ago and I am still annoyed about it..... Can you tell nothing else happens in my life.
