    Hi
    HAH_WMB well we all have to stay positive dont we!
    Witchypoo sympathise with your sinus pain had it before and its hell

    Not such a good start this mornin, dd age 3 cant weight bear on one leg, was a bit sore last week but now she is shuffling aroung on her bum, but its not painful, I had to dig the old puchchair out the under stairs cupboard to do the school run with ds and dog walk. I'm sure this happened with ds when he was small and it just passed after a few days. Any of you mams out there come across this before- don't fancy spending hours sitting at the doctors waiting to be seen!!

    Morning all

    Well had a great weekend, and fab meal out on Saturday - will definately not be leaving it that long till we do it again:D .

    Littles delivered back last night in their pjs fast asleep with painted faces. DD1 was a butterfly, DD2 was a tiger. Apparently they would not let nanny wash their faces they wanted us to see them. So there nice clean bedding that they had not slept on is now a bit grubby:rolleyes: . Still DD2 looked so cute with her little black shiney nose:rotfl: .

    Did get some flying done over the weekend, as I was at work Saturday left DH with a list and he did everything off it:T . So lawns front and back done, 3 boxs of computer tat moved (think he just put these in the attic rather than sort them but at least they are out of my way). Box of paperwork sorted and either filed or shreaded. Box taken to charity shop. Conservatory furniture being collected next weekend by freecycler. Littles room rejigged and all their Happyland stuff boxed and put in garage to flog on Ebay at some point. So this means the My Little Pony Castle has a home in the wardrobe storage unit, plus bit of space for the next birthday and xmas presents;)

    Washing up to do but one load of ironing to do. All the other ironing DH did on Saturday:A has been put away too. Think he was definately after something;) :D .

    Right today....

    Struggling to get going this morning. DS2 told me in the playground that he needed a packed lunch today for a school trip so had to dash home and make it and cycle back up to school - kids!! 5 others had forgotten too.

    Oh forgot to copy list - need to do another post.

    Hello Flyboy, nice to see you back. Good morning everyone, lovely weather here.

    Shell, aren't we awful pressuming they are after something when they are being helpful, saying that we're usually right!
    Happy once you're finished with your soldier send him this way :D
    Denise, hope your dog is better soon, how awful, hugs to both of you x
    witchypoo hope you feel better soon

    Well tried to get to see my dentist, he's on holiday until next week, nice for him, so the pain continues. Tonights meal plan out the window as DP has invited his brother over for a BBQ, but instead of going and buying lots of extra food I have raked through the freezer and found steaks, sausages, lot of chicken, some lamb to do kebabs, some buns and a few burgers (will get some mince and make some more) So got almost enough and haven't got to spend the usual fortune. Will get some mince and some veg for the kebabs, might buy few more buns save me baking them. Can't grumble too much as he's coming over to bring the strimmer and do the garden for me, well help anyway, so will have to at least feed him :rotfl:

    Just waiting for the washing machine to finish so I can hang that before I go to the shops, just going down the high street a few miles away, get the rest of the bbq stuff, must remember some cheap cheese for burgers and might get a few extra things as last time we had a BBQ we ended up with over 10 kids as DSs like to invite half the street, ran out of animal food this morning which has never happened before as I usually have loads in.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    :rotfl: there are tears from launging so much down my face after reading that pigpen, pleased I am the only one home, thank you, I needed that :)

    Just remembered there is a nice cafe opened on the high street I haven't been in yet, think I'll take some pain killers and treat myself to a cuppa, maybe even a piece of cake.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning Everyone,

    I don't think I'm up to much today - Dd had several nightmares last night and ended up in bed with us - a wriggley 4yo is not conducive to sleeping especially when she keeps tapping you on the shouldar to ask a question!

    So, I've done some dailies, made a chicken curry and popped it in the slow cooker for after w**k, bit of washing and not much else.
