    Good morning everyone,

    2 LOs here today, although one in pre school this morning - and so far the weather is still sunny, so hopefully we will have a good day. Have DDs bedding in the WM, and might do DSs after that has finished, as the forecast is for rain tomorrow, and would be nice to get it all done and dried before the rain returns.

    Nothing much planned for today, just normal playing and boring stuff - one day something exciting will happen!

    Anyone coming to Cornwall for their hols, think of me as you go over the Tamar bridge, i live near there!!! Im sure you will have a great time, its a beautiful place to live, so must be lovely to visit.

    Hope everyone has a lovely day,
    Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Morning All,
    Tried to be eco-friendly yesterday and keep the computer turned off so haven't read anything so hope all are well.
    Spent loads of time at the lottie yesterday cutting back waist high grass. Have almost given up growing anything this year - just want to get all the ground de-scrubbed and dug over for once, in preparation for next year! I've been offered a rotovator from a freecycler who gave me a Xmas tree earlier in the year - whoo whee - should make my lottie-life much easier.
    Have been up since OH went to work at 5:30 so have read all news, emails etc. and washed up. Isn't it nice and cheerful when the sun shines!
    This room smells gorgeous... another lottie holder gave me a huge bunch of sweet peas (he grows about 300 plants each year) and the fragrance is brill.
    Have a good one folks..

    Just a quickie as I've got to go to work early which means I'll be doing a 13 hour shift:eek: 9am till 10 pm then in again at 7am tomorrow! good job I've got the weekend off!

    Good news for me last night, I lost 2 and a half pounds this week which means I've now lost 1 stone and half a pound!:j :D was very chuffed till DH said that I could afford to lose another stone:rolleyes: am ignoring him the miserable old bu**er:p :D

    Morning all

    Heaven - you enjoy your baba. If truth be told I'm a little jealous of you. I would love another littlie (got 2 now). But I keep thinking I'm too old (I'm 38) but then sometimes I think , what the heck. take care of yourself. My mum moaned at me when I was pregnant with the second one, but I (quite bravely for me!) told her she wasn't being helpful, there was nothing to be done, we were going to enjoy the baby and could she be a little more constructive. It helped, first (and last) time I've spoken up to my mother. (Am I really 38?)

    Natzini - Teachers are NOT all bad. My DS has had a great time at school. I admire what teachers do. I want to be one, but it ain't happening.

    Off to work in a mo. Just got to hoover up all the dust here at the top of the stairs, mother is coming tonight. Aaaargh. But she has said DH and I can go out (normally she expects us to stay in and entertain her) so we're off to see Harry Potter.

    Take care all.

    Good Morning All

    n9eav -that sounded like fun, the lifeboat experience!
    moiliere - glad you enjoyed curves, it was the only gym I felt comfortable with! And I stuck to going regular! I hope you do the same, I might check to see if we have one in our area!
    mrs-mix - like your attitude ref the phone & sim! Why dont these companies think to ask, do we need this/that? Thanks for the chuckle!
    Amie - the party theme sounds like a fantastic idea!Have you tasks planned toreplace party games! Can I come please!
    HeavenLeigh - I agree, I used to worry too much about what other people used to think/say! Now I just get on with things, and if they dont like it - tough! and Im 34. If they love you enough, they will support you!
    scuzz - things will improve in time for you! Just dont over do things to start off with, glad to see you have a positive mental attitude though!
    pooky - well done on selling your homemade cards. I dont sell many of mine now, since I left my old job. I rely on my mum spending!

    It is a glorious day, shame Im not at home to attempt to get washing out & dried!
    Tried to empty more of my brothers flat last night. Got another load for the car boot. My mum will hand his keys in on friday tothe council.

    I went to the opticians. My eyes are healthy, but a very small prescription is required, for reading, or concentration like pc or tv. I opted for some glasses to see if that will help with my headaches. And then we can take it from there, she did say my eyes wasn't that bad to cause my dizzy spells though. And perhaps if they persist, I must see the doctor! I collect my specs next week. First time in my life have I had to wear them!

    Council coming out later, hopefully to replace the cistern. We will see.

    I made some twink's hobnobs last night, with smarties in. for DD to take to school to share with the class.

    Right best be off
    Have a great day
    Love Emma xxx

    What a day already, and it's only 8.50!

    Feeling very emotional as my last 1 leaves primary tomorrow, never expected to feel like this!
    Congratulations HeavenLeigh, truth be told I'm feeling a twinge of jealousy too. Too old now tho.

    Had fab old style (ish) dinner last night of Lidl Steak pie (very nice £1.46) with spuds, baby carrots and broccoli ALL HOME GROWN!!!

    So excited when pulling carrots I was shouting over the fence to my neighbours. They must think I'm bonkers but I am just so chuffed, it's my 1st year of veg growing.
    Hope everyone has a good day, sunny here at mo, hope it lasts.
