  • Morning all, well I'm up early for a chance been waiting on septic tank to be done. Don't think they took a huge pile out of it but it will have to do.


    DD seems to have slept fine so fingers crossed that's the end of the bug.


    WM, TD and DW all on. DS2 for summer scheme today and DD has an appointment later. Think I might talk a little run over to finish getting the school uniforms then only shoes to get. Must post ebay parcel too.

    Wooo Hooo

    weight in today, lost 2lbs that makes 11lbs so far :D
    I'm chuffed with that because I've been gaining and losing the same 1lb for the past 4 weeks.
    I have been walking a lot which I think is what has made the difference, any way whatever has given me the boost
    hooray!!!!!!! :D:D:D

    Right have decluttered some delicious date and walnut bread (toast) for breky, off in the shower then will start my list!

    1. Hoover upstairs
    2. Change the bed
    3. Dust and decobweb the bathroom
    4. WM
    5. Peg out washing (nice here ATM)

    Then I'm going out to lunch with OH so I'll post another list later

    Have a good day all
    xxx
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Ooh well done you!

    I'm trying so hard but getting nowhere :(

    Well, no swimming today, they were warned to go to bed nicely and they didn't so swimming is off. But we will scoot to the postbox, I have a late card to post :o

    So I'm hoping to continue my garage flingathon :T

    Have a phone call to make this morning though and 3 different numbers have yielded nothing yet... :mad:

    Hope GCSE results are good!

    Aaaw Bossy.. bless her being all wobbly lipped over a pair of culottes.. that is really cute. We have pinafores and a few pairs of trousers but I can't see the trousers being worn until Dot fits in them, she is far less girly than Squeak.


    Went to Chester Zoo yesterday.. the girls were absolutely awful they did nothing but whine and whinge and argue ALL day long.. they drove me crazy.. today we are going to look at planes at the airport if they still have a viewing platform.. we need to nip to carphone warehouse to do a drop off, post office to fling and mothercare to spend some vouchers on sleepsuits for Pixie.. she is bursting out of hers and keeps getting in a tangle.


    I swept the cat litter off the bedroom floor with a dustpan and brush and the nest of deceased ladybugs!! they were all dry and crispy in a corner.. :eek:

    frog munching deferred - I have picked up an old chicken run off a free group on facebook. It was huge so DS and I dismantled it. The plan is to rebuild it intoo a Benny Bunny run. I doubt I will need all of the panels, though, it was huge. But first they need washing down which I will do with hot water and disinfectant.

    getting a run sorted for the rabbit was a frog anyway...getting a FREE run is a bonus! WOOT

    Which airport, pigpen? If Manchester there is a pub almost on the runway. I think it's called the Airport Hotel and it's at the Wythenshaw end. The garden is kitted out with play stuff and has an uninterrupted view of (I think) runway 3. I spotted it when we were taking off on our hols last month! It looked perfect for littlies and serves food etc.

    We've just made lunch, after scooting down to the postbox and then school, to "check it's going to be ready" according to DS lol. Still lots of trucks and diggers on site but appears mostly to be the grounds they are working on. The main building and entrance paths seem accessible.

    I've also continued my garage sorting - slowly coming together. Shame the rest of the house is a pit, lol
