ETA Picked up a Mirror as the 5 off 45 voucher for Mr AL*i is in - other papers have L#dl ones too
Thanks for the voucher tip JTTOU - I must have missed that in MSE Martin's newsletter! I'll get DH to buy one when he goes to post my parcel, on his way to his meeting.
I'll join you at 1 pm in a double HHC (Half Hour Concentrate) because I've done very little this morning except relax in a garden chair for the first time in over a year

Another hot one here, managed to get the kids birdhouses up yesterday, gave my bedroom a quick tidy and can't remember what else lol.
Today I need to post a ebay parcel, take boys to golf, go to bank and then do some flying. Plus need to put more on ebay tonight.
As usual OH isn't up so i'll get kids sorted and go on. have already done some charity stuff and i'll be waiting on call backs.
mummyroysof3 yay well done you“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.”0 -
Morning flyladies :wave:
I have been slowly fluttering this week, but it seems like the kids are intent on coming along behind me and undoing all my hard workthey've been sitting in the garden making loom bands a lot, but seem incapable of wiping their feet when they come back in; I vacuumed the lounge four times yesterday and it's minging again! At least they're not fighting I guess
I've gutted the boys room this morning with their assistance, I even vacuumed down the side of DSS's bed which was dis-gust-ing _pale_ The whole room looks and feels a lot fresher now, and as long as they don't make too much mess in the next 24 hours it should stay that way as they're off to their Dad's for a fortnight.
Time to fling DS2 into the shower and take them to the barbers, then off to Sainsbobs for a few bits for dinner. This afternoon I will be watching the Lego movie with the boys, trying to get some quality time in with them before they go, the flying can wait.
It's my 36th birthday tomorrow and DH is bouncing off the walls with excitement, it's quite amusing0 -
happy birthday for tomorrow fizz, have you got anything good planned?- it certainly sounds like your DH has.
deadheaded the butterfly bush in our front garden going to hang some washing out now.SPC~12 ot 124

Well done mummyroys x
Wheelie bin retrieved but they threw my strong sacks into the lorry rather than emptying them. OH won't be pleased. Think I may replace them with a swing bin or replace the swing bin and redeploy it.

Ds2 must be getting better as his temper is returning.0 -
Thankyou Mrs-MP, I'm dropping my kids off with their dad tomorrow evening so DH has promised to cook my dinner for my return, M&S ready meal it is then
Saturday he is playing cricket and I'm going along to "watch" but the forecast is good so I will take my book and a cider or three and I'm sure the afternoon will fly by! Sunday we're going to the cinema and them out for a Chinese, followed by a few drinks. I love Friday birthdays, it seems like stringing them out so they last the whole weekend is the natural thing to do
I'm having an iPad Air from DH, very extravagant but it will be well used and loved, I'm sure. I use my phone for most of my internet doings but my eyesight is getting worseso hopefully it'll work as an anti-wrinkle product too as I won't be squinting half as much :rotfl:
