Morning All

Just had breakfast at work. Overslept this morning, but it took forever to actually getto sleep last night, then was woken up at 2am by the dog barking:mad:

Got a meeting with the boss later:eek: That should be fun. He's taking me out for coffee so it's informal.

Can't believe tomorrow is August! Going to the football tonight with a friend and been offered two more gigs at speedway:T

Hope everyone's ok

Morning :hello:

I've caught up with the threads from the past couple of days (hadn't read them properly at the time), big hugs to those who need them :grouphug:

Gonna be busy busy busy today. My house will be gleaming by lunchtime

I've just found out that not everyone in Glos has their water back on, so if any of you need washing done - or if you know people who live near me and they need anything - send me a PM. I'll warn you now, I use cheapy cheap washing powder and fabric softener - if you don't like using that, you'll have to bring your own I have bottled water too, we're picking up less now that our water is on but we can pick up more if it's needed.

Morning everyone on this beautiful sunny day!!
It is funny how abit of sun makes you feel better and look forward to the day!.
One load of washing already on the line and 2nd load on now, dh finally sorted out what clothes he is taking on hoilday and alot of them need freshing up as have been stuck in drawers since last summer! He has so many clothes it is untrue, hardly ever see him in anything but a pair of scruffy work shorts and sleevless tops! Feel a ebay clear out coming on, bet he wouldnt ever notice if i sold half of it!!!LOL

Need to nip to post office for dh car tax and pick up some potatoes, then need to clean the inside of the car, dh is taking it to work on thurs to valet it properly but has asked me to hoover inside as its so bad so it doesnt take up his whole dinner hour doing it!!!!

Hope you are all ok, i am trying to keep up with all your news but sometimes when i am reading the thread whilst trying to break up the 4 kids arguments it doesnt go in what iv just read, so huge hugs to all that need them ((((())))

Have a great day

Good morning All,

I misread my clock and thought it was 7.30 when it was actually 6.30. Going to start the Flylady Challenge shortly after my second cup of tea. Cleaned under kitchen sink yesterday and discovered 3 bottles of kitchen cleaner which I had forgotten about. :oBeen good with the freezer/store cupboard challenge and now going apply this to my bathroom cabinet.

GOod Morning all!

Got my Buffy DVD's yesterday; so before I go to the clininc, you know what I'll be doing!

Will let you know what happens, (probably nothing!)

Penny-Pincher!!

Morning Guys!

Not had a good night but cant moan as theres always someone worse than yourself:o

We took DD and her friend to Rochester yesterday for a meal at Frankie & Bennys (£30 complaint voucher towards it) and to watch Hairspray. The 3 course meal, drinks and the cinema cost us £9.70:D ...bargain!! The film was fantastic and we all loved it. We took our own popcorn (6 medium bags for 99p in the 99p store)

Today, DD is going round her friends to stay till tomorrow evening. They are going to Gillingham and going ice-skating, then seeing Shrek 3....and sleeping over her house and ordering pizza etc. Tomorrow they are going shopping I think:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: DD is using her own money as she took out £30 from her account and still has £32 left .....I think daddy has given her some on the sly! She has a carers card for the cinema so the person she takes goes in free, so they split the cost of the ticket (£2.50)...so I think £10 will cover eveything as I will send her with popcorn and drinks. Thats what her pocket money is for though I suppose:rotfl:

WM is on, DW needs emptying and toilet has been scrubbed. I am on a mission ATM to clear as much carp as possible. Giving myself 20mins per day to bin or charity stuff.

Anyway, I must go as I need food and a cuppa.

Breakie-Rice Krispies
Lunch:Baked Spud with tuna salad
Dinner: Creamy Chops, Boiled Spuds, Cauli and carrots

Hugs to all.

Good morning everyone

It's another beautiful sunny day here. Washing is up to date so this will be the day that the kitchen floor is scrubbed as I like to leave the back door open to let it dry.

DS and DD phoned last night. They are having a ball in Scotland and, as predicted, they are being spoilt rotten. They are off to the science park in Glasgow today so I'm sure they will have a tale or two to tell later.

W**k today and I expect that I will work another couple of hours overtime. Don't mind though as it all means less to do when boss goes away on holiday next week. I always get a bit panicky for the first few days that he is away as I am wholly responsible for the office then. This year though he has installed a skype phone in his holiday home and one in the office and he is taking his laptop so we will be able to communicate most days.

Breakfast is boiled egg and toast.
Lunch is egg mayonnaise sandwiches (I forgot to cook some chicken yesterday for me sarnies) and fruit salad.
Dinner is chicken curry with rice and naan bread.

Have a tremendous Tuesday. xx

Morning everyone,

didn't sleep that great. Been sleeping over 8 hours but still knackered! OH slept too well as he woke up half an hour late and then came back after getting to the end of the street as he left his pass behind - oh dear.

His birthday baked alaska went quite well (I think) OH thought all the meringue around it would crisp all the way through - I said it wouldn't, that only the outside would brown and go crisp - is that right? It's only in the oven <5mins so I can't see how it's supposed to be crisp but then as I've never eaten it before, I'm only guessing I also decided 40mins before our visitors arrived last night that as we don't have birthday cake, I should make some fairy cakes. OH thought I was mad. I was just finishing off icing them when people started arriving. I had to give the recipe for his OH's Sister so she could make them for OH's nephew. She normally buys ready made packets/meals for everything. I was sure to let his nephew know that his mummy has the recipe and he's to make sure she makes some cakes with him. Oh, I am wicked. :rotfl:

Had a nightmare yesterday as I've lost the keyfob that lets me access work stuff from home. I've searched eveywhere as as I have little junk, it wasn't too difficult, but I can't find it anywhere. I've ordered a new one but until it arrives, I have to trek into the office every day! It's only 4 miles but means I can't really out washing out as the rain is too frequent

[STRIKE]Today, must do some washing after work[/STRIKE], [strike]sort out the banking for the bills coming out tomorrow [/strike], [strike]do my clicks on pigsback from yesterday[/strike], [strike]sort travel insurance for holiday in Sept[/strike] [strike]and hoover the upstairs[/strike], anything else is a bonus.

Have a good day everyone.
