  • Thanks Bossy - everything will be fine just a temp hiccup - took me an hour to write an email, but have had an ack so now waiting for full reply "shortly". Can do no more at this stage.

    Please please please no more talk of cake - it was always my first port of call in stressful situations - almost daily whilst working!!! I need some NOW!!!! but not very SW!!!

    Ionafan - hope DH ring turns up soon.

    My DH is home so will get on and do something - not sure what. Did manage WU and prepare potatoes and carrots for cottage pie and also did weekly shopping - but that's all - never mind - tomorrow is another day.
    Have a good evening.xx

    hope your evening out goes well LW
    weird round here when i lose things, 90% of the time ill tear my hair out looking for it and usually after saying to another member of the family ive lost "whatever" it will turn up in a really obvious place that i know ive looked and it couldnt be anyway. In cases like this i always say thank you out loud to whoever it was that relocated it for me.
    funnily enough as helpful as whoever they are is when ive said out loud please can this weeks lotto be a winner they dont seem to be listening;)

    Dusty I've never been so sore, I ended up at out of hours at 1am it was so bad. Faced a christening that morning and left very sharp after, found it hard to even drive home.


    DD home and complaining of sore head, glands up and touch of sore throat (really hope she doesn't get it).


    DS's collected from golf and DS2 who hates all sports really enjoyed it. Would be great to get him into something, he can be a very lonely child at time.


    Right best get everyone feed before I leave DS1 to football. Better remake my bed too, don't want to have to do it at bedtime.

    New tablecloth has finally arrived and I'm ridiculously excited, the old one was very tatty and clashed horribly with just about everything in the kitchen.

    DS1 has cleaned out his hammy and vacuumed the kitchen for me :A DS2 has made a mess and will be for the chop if he doesn't tidy it up, pronto!

    I straightened my hair for a change last night and I've been well and truly rained on :( so now I need to rewash my hair.

    DH is out tonight and I have a hot date with the iron in his absence. Rock n' roll here, kids :cool:

    Ring finding vibes!

    Lamewolf. Coco was chasing squirrels in our bluebell wood today. I'll lend you her to chase them away.

    I've been busy ironing and walking Coco. The bathrooms have been cleaned and I've taken lots of gibble to the clothing bank.

    This afternoon was spent ferrying DS2 around for his prom. Here's a pic of him with one of his friends. He is on the right.

    I need to organise school bags for morning before I head off to Pilates.
