    feel for anyone who suffers sickness during pregnancy, i was awful (but not as bad as those on here are describing)

    im on my lonesome DS1 had gone to zombie earth to run amok and be chased by zombies through an abandoned factory with DS2 and some friends and theyve had so much fun theyve just rung DH and invited him to go and join the apocalypse with them. im going to read a few threads then curl up with my knitting and a glass of something.
    i think zombie hunting finishes at about midnight

    Sound like fun, mrs mp (zombie hunting, not knitting ;))

    Still. Probably more fun than ironing which is what I've just finished doing... What is it with me and irons? I just ruin them :o the last one I ruined by trying to attach a label to DS school bag and this new one (used 3 times now) I managed to twist the dial the wrong way and I've scorched DD school dress :o I never learn. I must get a new iron most years...

    Emptied DW, sorted a few emails - one from the council parking offence office - they are considering my appeal and want to see the ticket! So I emailed back 2 pics, one of the ticket showing I had paid, and one of where it fell off the windscreen. Hopefully common sense will prevail, but the fact they've asked to see it is a good sign I hope!

    Kiddies were late to bed as we got carried away playing tenpin on the wii :o was good fun though.

    Now going to write a list of stuff we need if we go camping...

    Which company is it? There is a whole Parking tickets sub board on here which gives oodles of advice, the advise changes but most 'tickets' (actually requests for payments - ie invoices) do not need to be paid.

    I've been sorting out online banking for me and DS2 but have done little else. Bed time and hoping to wake up with some GUAG.

    Morning All

    Plan is to start on my BR today - which will probably take all day - so I'll see how I get on.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Hi dusty I did look but its council, not a private one so they are sadly enforceable, however can use discretion, so hopefully they will. If not its only £25 and lesson learned - do not use the sticker! Just lay it on dashboard!

    Morning all

    Bossy, I often wondered why people did not use the sticky bit, I tend to but now I know why. May use it to stick it to the dash in future!

    Sorted out the next payment for our holiday which was causing me grief (P@yp£l and CC not working together as I wanted), have had to split it so hopefully can finish it later.

    Weather is fair so cricket will hopefully be on but that means me doing teas still DS3 will stay up there all day and have a ball and DS1 will play.

    I shall need to set some tasks at home for DH and DS2 will just revise all day.

    I'll do a HHC at 9am putting on some washing S&Sing etc and then shower and see what I fancy next, paperwork or gardening.

    That's what I was thinking - so it doesn't flutter away when you shut the door!

    Inlaws have called - can they take kiddies swimming - cue us getting dressed :eek: kiddies are only just now having brekkie - they've been on the wii fit lol jogging - a good way to run off some steam. I need to take a leaf out of their book...
