All the shopping is put away. Freezer door just about shut!

Washing dried and put away so I've put the throws in now. Got to make the most of it.

Assuming it's still dry after Neighbours, I'll have a go at the front lawn. Did the back at the weekend but it rained before I could get to the front.

Forgot to say before 7WW, I'm sure your cat was trying to be helpful, posting his poo under there. I have cats, nothing surprises me!

lil_me

Nicki hope you get it sorted, Aimee great photos, sexymouse hope kitty is back to itself soon, welcome back Ladygrim and Maralum.

Well the meeting went ok, got chance to speak my mind a little as this things caused lots of probs lately, looks like I'll be helping run the shop there from tonight on so will be posting early on Tuesdays.

What a nightmare when we got back, seen something on the floor, DS1 left his fishing stuff in living room and the maggots had got out ARGH!! Spent last night completely clearing the sitting room getting rid of them, had nightmares about them last night!! Hope the neighbours didn't get woken by me hoovering up at 1am-2am to get rid of anything left, then mop through as I'd stood on some eww! so no Rach you weren't the only one up just unfortunately I was a tad busy!

tinselfairy - Happy Belated Birthday!!!!
nikki - heres hoping they sort it out quickly for you. Thats one of the joys of online banking, you get to see whats going on.
shell - glad your lesson went well. It gets easier and more natural - promise!!!
pigpen - keep going with the binbags!!

Thanks for the lovely messages.

I got really inspired after i had a glass of wine yesterday and sat down and sorted out all my admin. Ended up getting loads of paperwork done. Whilst it isnt all filed it is soooooo much better and easier to deal with . I had a lovely fire going in my fireplace burning all the personal bits i didnt need. Apologies to the birds i smoked out :rolleyes:. Its strange how i now feel much more clear headed this morning and ive managed to make the phonecalls i didn't do yesterday. (including to the tax man who had managed to loose 3 out of 5 records of employment!:rolleyes:)

I should really et back to work, but just wanted to pop in and say hello.

happy at home - thanks for sharing that - i love to be nosy, same with aimee with the photos. Nice to put faces to names and find out what other people get up to.


I may see you later, but i am betting it will be after the monkey is in bed for the night as i may have to put the laptop somewhere very safe so he stops bashing and pulling on it or it will really really be broken

Michelle, x

Still flapping along!

Katzmeister - you have inspired me. DH is kindly bringing home ingredients for home made hobnobs. I can feel the weight settling on my hips. I am impressed by the lemon curd. My attempts at that have been far from successful.

Lil_me - you allow OH to bring maggots in the house! I am impressed with your tolerance. I say that if anything like that happens I will be entitled to get all girly (after all, I am a girl) and he could sort it out.

Nikki - hope it gets sorted out.

Desperately trying to get anywhere and failing. I think DS has hit eight month separation anxiety. Sigh. And his teeth are hurting him. Sigh. And I love him to bits and wouldn't change him for the world.

Hugs to all

pigpen

Right.. shopping done.. one order for tomorrow and another for Tuesday (payday.. wooooo!!!!!)

Nails fixed and next appointment booked.. *grin*

Kitchen table cleared.. 2 loads of drying to fold now.. and some more do.. DD3 left her wet nappy in her pj trousers so I had to rewash a whole load because of the gel stuff.. I've not done that for YEARS!!!!

Piece of pig in the slowcooker smelling DIVINE and making my tummy rumble.

Cheque in bank.. it was a £20 refund of DD1's trip payment refunded as she has 100% attendance she didn't have to pay.. bonus!!

Food for me I think before I starve to death!!

pigpen

that's beautiful here today.. supposed to be raining though.. *shrug*.. so I'm singing LOUDLY!! Good job I'm not a truly horrendous singer really.. I'd certainly be scaring the neighbours.

Binbag boogie coming up... may as well dance if I am singing, eh?

:whistle::dance:So I'm counting on you
to carry me through.. Ooohh.....
Gimme the beat boys
and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away...:dance::whistle:

*dances into the middle room with a binbag and Henry's big pipe!*

Think you may have sun stroke there pigpen.......been a while since we had a sunny day so totally understand.

Did trip to library and bonus there is a story hour tomorrow morning so something to do with the kids. Came back had lunch then trip to the little park. Posted DVD at PO on way home plus bought birthday card and wrapping paper for party DD1 is going to on Sunday.

Kids just put DVD we hired from library on "flushed away" and then I think they want to make fairy cakes.

Hi everyone,

Been out today, Glad you didnt eat all the cakes while I was gone! why does being out make everyone so tired, journey only 50 mins and both kids 8 & 15 yr old slept on way home. Wish I could have done! Poor gran, a real shock to see her,DS was really taken aback, she's gone a bit further down hill everytime we see her. Must go more often, at 94 years you can expect her to be around for much longer bless her.

Just a quick chat up with the thread before a cuppa and start tea and the lists. Lil_me dont know how you cope with maggots, I'd have nightmares. There were some in our bin the other day and I couldnt go near it until OH had cleaned it out and bleached it all. Thank goodness when we go fishing its from the shore and we use bits of fish and stuff.

Tomorrows list up super early incase I don't get chance later, just spent time emptying the venue they used to use for the car racing and put it into the new one, about 10 mile away from each other. Got to go to argos to get some tables for it in a mo (after the sausage rolls I've just made are finished cooking), then back to pack the rest of the stuff in the car, leave for there by about 5.30pm, hopefully once things are sorted the RC club will take up much less of our time. However I have insisted on a card for each cash and carry place if I am doing the food, savings ahoy!!!
